Guest access
All parts of the house are accessible with the exception of the following:
1. Master closet is locked. Garment rack with rolling wheels is provided.
2. Basement is locked.

Other things to note
Internet access is provided via wifi. AT&T goes down often so please don’t depend on it for work. Please read House Manual for detailed information.
Wildlife: Because our house is on the edge of town, we are fortunate enough to have an abundance of wildlife. If you keep watch, you may see a bobcat, javelinas, bats and beautiful birds. You may also encounter thorns, scorpions and snakes so always take care when walking around outside. It is wise to always wear shoes when walking around in the yard.
Bats: We sometimes have a bat colony that lives in the front eaves of our house. We are grateful for the bats because they eat the mosquitoes. However, the downside to having bats is you may find bat guano on the front porch. While we do our best to sweep it away, it comes back quickly. Please excuse their poor bathroom habits.

Extra Pillows/Fans/Blankets/Pack-n-Play can be found in the first guest bedroom closet.


Additional Information
Big Sky is nestled in the northwest quadrant of Marfa and has the darkest skies of the lower 48 states. From our property, the view to the north during the day is of the Davis Mountain range, to the east is the town of Marfa, to the west is rolling West Texas cattle land (home of some brilliant sunsets), and to the south is the Chihuahuan Desert and Chinati Peak. Big Bend is about and hour and a half away and the McDonald Observatory is about 40 minutes to the north (a trip worth making)!

I've rented this home 3 times, and every time I do, I'm equally impressed with how special it is. The space is a perfect mix of desert + modern; located on the outskirts of the town, its view from the back patio is completely unobstructed into the desert for miles. Everything is comfortable and clean, and the place evokes a perfect desert atmosphere. Our dealings with the property manager were outstanding. The best surprise occurred on our last trip, when, sitting on the back patio at night, we caught the Marfa Lights! (Trust, I didn't believe they were real until I saw them myself...) This house truly is a gem.

Despite the hot temps, Big Sky Marfa helped us find the relief we needed. Great House with a great floorplan. My wife and i enjoyed the large master and the kids enjoyed the separate rooms. The Sunset is indescribable!! There is no neighboring properties to block the west Texas sunset... Enjoy the table out in the yard!!
