The Ultimate Marfa Experience! 2 miles outside of Marfa offers the quiet and secluded ranch experience with dark skies and beautiful moonlit nights, while still ensuring easy access to townâs amenities. Wildlife abound, with visits from what we named the âresidentâ quail, who showed up daily to sing the song of his people, to a pleasant visit from a local Road Runner. (it did not say âBeep Beepâ) The daytime views were equally stunning, with desert landscape, beautiful mountains in the distance and large Texas skies. The host was communicative, very cool and friendly. We have stayed at various places in the surrounding areas for the last 6 years, from Alpine to Balmorhea to Marfa, and we can honestly say this was the best experience the entire family has ever had.
