Photos and Description of this Marathon holiday house 2BR, 1 Bath, Sleeps 4-6

Completely renovated stucco home offers unequaled mountain views and solitude, within blocks of the Gage Hotel. Watch the sunrise from the eastern morning porch and enjoy an evening cocktail while watching the sun set over the Glass Mountains on the westward facing deck. Spend cool evenings enjoying the stars. Perfect for couples, families with children, church small groups, or personal solitary retreats, the home has a peaceful energy that makes it the perfect site for weekend getaway or long-term rental. The house is located conveniently within the town of Marathon, and within walking distance of all restaurants, the local grocery store and the gorgeous Gage Gardens Yet, its secluded location on the outskirts of town facing Iron Mountain gives it a more rural getaway feel. Our home is completely renovated, with new central heat and air, plus new energy-efficient windows and a screen door to enjoy the cool breezes.

Welcome to Marathon, Gateway to Big Bend National Park and a thriving, artist's haven beautifully nestled in the high desert between Iron Mountain and the Glass Mountains to the north and Santiago Peak to the south. With an altitude of 4040', Marathon offers warm summer days, cool nights year-round, a temperate winter beyond compare, and clear dark skies for star-gazing. It's the perfect destination to beat the heat of summer. Located just a stone's throw from the Historic Gage Hotel, our cozy West Texas cottage is just a block to the Desert Moon Spa, yet offers incomparable solitude and Marathon's best mountain views. Annual events include WestFest, the M2M marathon, and Fiesta Del Noche Buena.

Notes: This is the place to get away from it all. There is no cable TV service. Instead, we do have a TV with VCR and DVD players. Smoking outdoors only. Pet-friendly with deposit. Check fire danger before using outdoor chimenea. Wildfire danger is common. And burn bans are frequently in force. This is a historic home. Because of additions through the years, there is one step into the home's front door, and two steps from the living room into the bedroom or dining room. Please inquire if you have any questions about accessibility.
