Welcome to Casa Cielo, Marfa Texas!

Casa Cielo Marfa is our little vacation house in Marfa, Texas. David and I bought the house at the end of 2009 with the intent of spending much time in the area. It is also available for short-term rental during times when we are not using the house. We list it on VRBO.com. We have a direct website as well, at DiscoverMarfa.com.

Marfa is a fascinating place, full of great things to see, do and eat. It is a city of approximately 2,000 people in Far West Texas. Marfa is known for its art, music and great restaurants. Aside from being a great destination in its own rite, it is a great home base for visiting Big Bend (both the state and national parks), as well as the many other state parks in the area.

I hope you enjoy my views (and reviews) as we discover this wonderful area. Please feel free to add your own thoughts. Comments are most welcome!

Add "bathrobe" to your packing list

If you are traveling VRBO with kids, or friends, keep in mind that in many parts of the world, bathrooms are not "en suite". Therefore, you may need to walk from the bathroom to your bedroom following your bath or shower. A bathrobe can come in mighty handy at such times.

Casa Cielo has only one bathroom, which is off the hall.

I have a cute polyester robe from Victoria's Secret. It's ideal for travel as it folds up to a very compact size and doesn't wrinkle. It's perfect.

Of course there are plenty of towels in the house, long and wide enough to wrap around the standard American body while dashing across the hall. But, a robe is especially handy.
