It was an awesome place to stay off the beaten path. Loved Sitting on the porch early morning watching the Sunrise & the wildlife. Truly God’s masterpiece It was great to come back to our roots in west Texas where I grew up to relax & spend time with our local family. Marathon is small but mighty. We love coming out here every year for our cousin get together at Thanksgiving Great hostess!!

Our stay at Casa La Vista in Marathon, TX was absolutely wonderful. Wilma was an exceptional host—her communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The house itself was perfect: immaculately clean, thoughtfully laid out, and beautifully designed to take in the sweeping mountain views.At night, the dark skies were filled with stars—an unforgettable sight. Every detail was clearly well thought out, from the comfortable furnishings to the provided coffee (a much-appreciated touch in the mornings!).We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Casa La Vista to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Wilma, for your excellent hospitality!
