Summary: One of the most historic homes in Marathon TX. You can feel the home’s history. Great stay.

Jacob R. Feb 19, 2024 03:55:10 AM

Summary: This was perfect for a quick little weekend visiting family and sightseeing.

David May 2, 2023 09:06:46 PM

Summary: We were able to cook some meals thanks to the induction burners. And make good coffee! We enjoyed all the space. We found the bed and the tv room comfortable. We enjoyed the design, the art and the colors including the blooming cactus! Our dogs had a safe fenced yard to run around. I texted with the local contact and she was helpful and enthusiastic. It was a great place to stay.

Summary: It’s a cozy little house with everything we need.

Joseph H. Apr 6, 2023 11:00:15 AM

Summary: Marathon is small town one gas station that I could see. Many homes are derelict. This property is restored lots of art work,books on Texas. It has character. Well supplied. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom is small but adequate. Lovely patio. There is one nice restaurant in town at the Gage and their coffee bar breakfast bistro is very nice. The French Grocer has hamburger night get together I think on Fridays. We commuted 60 miles into Big Bend daily for 2 days. I would stay again. I found it quite peaceful.

Summary: My only complaint is that what was provided was sketchy. The house was very well furnished so it was not an issue

Scott B. Nov 1, 2022 01:01:04 PM

Summary: Well the drive from my home to there was the real marathon!! 8.5 hours and 575 miles. The home was neat and clean with nice hacienda touches. Everything was in working order that I could see. Some of the neighboring homes were dilapidated, but overall it was a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Much better than being in a hotel room. Thank you for renting to me! Scott B.

Summary: The Blas Payne was perfect for us! We attended the beautiful wedding of our cousin and enjoyed our stay so much!! Coffee on the porch is a must!!!!

Phylis Oct 13, 2022 03:09:22 AM

Summary: Very quaint! Quiet! Reasonable cost! Would recommend to friends.

Denise G. Aug 17, 2022 10:18:00 AM

Summary: The house was nice and clean except for the colony of worms that were congregated on the chair on the porch. The pecan tree in the yard was completely stripped of its leaves so this colony of worms has been there quite a while now. The house was comfortable. Nice air conditioners in 3 rooms. The rugs in all of the rooms were a bit over the top. There are layers of them on the floors and it does pose a tripping hazard. The outside could use some cleaning up. There are lots of broken pottery and chairs all around and in the far corner of the yard is a couple large pieces of sheet rock just laying in the grass. And it’s been there for quite a while. Some small rugs have the grass growing through them and they really should be disposed of. Most of the issues are cosmetic and would be pretty easy to accomplish. I wanted to point them out so the owner can make the property nicer and cleaner looking.
