Came into Marathon for one night. Nice to have a spot to ourselves after a long drive. Good space for kids, master bedroom on opposite side of home. Did a load of laundry too. Woke up after moon set to see the Milky Way. Would rent again.

Clean and perfect for a quick visit to big bend

Plenty of towels. Nice patio. Everything you need. And very clean. Honestly if you are going to big bend this place is a straight shot into the park. 40 min or so. Not likely to find a place closer. Highly recommend. Recommend bringing in food with you as there really isn’t great food options around the park.
