Nice stay with great amenities
House was spacious and well stocked. We liked the location and found some neat hang out spots nearby. Our only regret was not spending more time enjoying all the house had to offer because we were busy sightseeing at Big Bend, McDonald Observatory, and Ft. Davis. Internet worked well, beds were comfortable, and I love that it had plenty of towels!

Lots of room , Easy location, quiet neighborhood
This was a large retro house, it would be great for large families. Easy location in a quiet neighborhood. Marfa is very easy to get around. The house is exactly as presented in the pictures. We would be happy to stay here again someday.

Gem of a house for family get together!
Our families had a blast at the best house in Marfa. We had everything we needed in this mid century modern home. Not everything has been updated but we loved the time warp and didn’t need a thing. The art on the walls was a treat as well. Beautiful back patio, comfy beds, plenty of towels, very clean and within an hour of the McDonald observatory and most other points of interest like state parks, funky Alpine and Fort Davis. Definitely stay here!

Great place for us
This was a good place for us to stay. There was 5 of us riding motorcycles. The residential streets getting to the house was partial pavement and gravel with potholes, so it was tricky navigating around the rough stuff but we made it! It is in a quiet neighborhood and close to the main road with the restaurants and bars. Having a garage to park our bikes in overnight was important. That was a big +. Everything was good in the house including everything we needed for cooking. Next time we come that way, we will stay here again!

This house is fully loaded!
Stover House was a great getaway and is a masterpiece of mid-century modern design. The property is located in quiet, safe, walkable neighborhood. It was nice to have a garage for parking one of our vehicles since the days are hot. Check-in was by electronic lock and Adeline responded promptly to all my messages before and after our stay. The house seems endless and is very well-appointed. We were only 4 but a large family would be very comfortable there with both a large living room and an even larger den...complete with a wet bar. The back den is also where to find the washer and dryer and dog towels. Four bedrooms, sleeping 8, have doors for privacy with 2 full baths. The queen bedroom has the attached bath with the closest access to the back door for the dogs. The king bedroom has a Sleep Number bed. The back den has a murphy bed and a half bath. Both full bathrooms have shampoo and body wash; there are plenty of towels and linens. There is dine-in seating for 4 in the kitchen, a dining room seating another 6 and another table for 4 in the den. The den houses the only TV but we didn't have time to watch anything with so much to do in the area. The A/C is strong and there are ceiling fans in the main bedrooms. There are coffee filters, but bring your coffee and creamer. The kitchen is small but has double the serving and cookware of any other rental home we have ever stayed it. The house has every small appliance you could possibly need and more. The backyard is perfect for dogs, surrounded with a solid concrete or brick fence and accessible by 2 sturdy gates. There is seating for about 14 outside with 2 tables, 2 lounge chairs and a fire pit. There is a grapevine-covered arbor that adds shade in the back; make sure you spray down for mosquitos if outside at night which cools down into the 60s-70s. The charcoal grill was squeaky clean. Be mindful of the automatic sprinklers in the morning! Marfa was pretty much shut down due to the area's first positive COVID-19 cases. We ventured to Ft. Davis and Big Bend Ranch State Park; the house was in a good location for both trips. We plan on returning to Marfa again soon, once things are more open; we will definitely repeat our stay at Stover House, if it is available.

Wonderful spacious home!
Came to Marfa for the Marfa100 and we really enjoyed staying here. Fairly close to the main downtown area and easy to walk or bike to most places you’d want to go. There were plenty of beds and we loved all of the different seating areas - Including the large den, living room and outside patio. The house is a bit older and some things needed a little attention, but overall it was very comfortable and perfect for our group. Would absolutely stay here again.

The Stover House is Special
The Stover House holds a special place for me. Growing up, Dr. Stover was my doctor and while he didn’t practice medics from home, his house was just across the street from my grandparents’ house. I was so happy to see painting of the courthouse and local scenes painted by his wife still in their home - truly made the stay very personal and interesting. The house is fantastic for larger groups with a floor plan that made it easy for early risers to make coffee without disturbing anyone’s sleep. The patio in back was a favorite with humans and canines alike and high cinderblock walls and iron gates kept town critters like javelinas and skunks out while keeping our loved ones in! Nicely landscaped with plenty of grass and a grape orchard, too. The house is warm and inviting and amenities complete and we made use of the gas fireplace in the back den on the coldest nights. We didn’t use the garage but nice to have the option. Overall, a lovely home - thanks so much!

Great trip
Mid-Century Modern is a great description. A sprawling house with plenty of room so you are not on top of each other. Many original features such as the tile and cork floors in the kitchen. Loved the art throughout the house!! Back garden has great bones. Would book again.

Wonderful house and great location
The Stover house is a well maintained vintage home in a quite neighborhood in Marfa. We were two families, with five kids total, and the layout of the house was perfect for allowing all of us to spread out when needed, yet still gather together for puzzles and board games. Both the front living room and the den in the rear were great for hanging out, and the back yard is very large and fully fenced - perfect for our golden retriever. Quiet neighborhood, and the location is a great! We would definitely stay here again.

Spent the weekend with some friends. Greta house and plenty of room. Wouldn’t say it was walking distance because of the limited or no street lights but very quick drive to anything we wanted to do. Would book it again.
