My husband and I spent 6 nights at Desert Crunch and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved spending time on the front porch enjoying the amazing views. We hope to be able to visit again in the future.
House was comfortable and decorated nicely and artfully. Clean linens and modern decor. Nice views of Marfa and the surrounding desert. Pleasant mornings to sit on porch and watch rabbits and birds One detractor was the few live and dead roaches. Only other suggestions would be provide coffee and a microwave.
The house is wonderful, with fun artwork and a great location near the Chinati. It’s very well-suited for a family traveling with kids. Highly recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Desert Crunch. The location was perfect as it is just on the edge of town with a beautiful view of the mountains in the distance. Walking distance to Chinati. Would recommend a vehicle to go into town. Great amenities. Clean. Very cool artwork. Enjoyed the outdoor fire pit! Only thing missing was a microwave to heat up our yummy leftovers from some of the excellent restaurants in town. Would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend!
This is our second time staying at Desert Crunch. We love this place. Well-stocked with nice open living space in a nice Marfa location overlooking the town.
The house is marfa at its best. Great local artwork, all mod cons, thoughtful design down to the kitchen tools. We were a easy walk to town, the view was grand. The house in all respects was amazingly clean. We so enjoyed our stay.
The house was lovely and the location was perfect. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. Our group used the location as a home base for Alpine, Fort Davis, Big Bend, and Marfa (of course) - very convenient.
This was the perfect home for a long weekend in Marfa, my friends and I really enjoyed the home, the art, the proximity to Chinati, but also the solitude of being off the main road. Would definitely stay again.
I have loved Marfa for years, and this house made me love it even more. Located in a quiet neighborhood that is just a short walk to the Chinati, it has a great view from the front porch and is really comfortable. We all loved the art. The bedding was top notch and the kitchen has everything you need.
We spent so much time on front porch relaxing and enjoying the front porch while admiring the views from an elevated location. Highly recommended for families.

As Cool as Expected
The house was very comfortable for two couples and three kids. The beds were comfy, kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for food prep/coffee/etc. It's a nice, quiet street and we enjoyed walking to Chinati and into town.
