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!

Plentiful in Marfa: Missing street signs

Another bit of feedback recently received was that Marfa sure is missing a lot of its street signs. This is definitely true. It would be very helpful, if you do not have Google Maps or similar on your phone, to carry a paper map with you. There are street signs, but if you don't know where you are going, you may need to guess here and there, and maybe make a couple of extra turns. But, you'll certainly get there!

Especially helpful is Google Maps and enabling GPS if it is a feature on your phone.

Or, you can always ask someone to point you in the right direction. Everyone is friendly.
