White House Ranch- unique experience outside Marfa

Loved the house, one of the nicer vrbo houses we've stayed at. Lots of attention to detail in the upkeep and amenities. The house is laid out a little odd but I'm sure that's the product of decades of updating. Plenty of space for a large family. Really nice kitchen and areas to sit. I'm sure the stargazing is amazing but we unfortunately went when there was a bright full moon. Lots of helpful information provided. It wasn't really clear about where we could go on the property. They listed it as 11,000 acre ranch which I figured we didn't have just free reign on but the ad almost made it sound like you do. The property guests have access to is about 200 acre front pasture from what I estimate and have some slight hills to explore. Enough to stretch your legs on and explore some. It's over 40 minutes to Marfa and about 1-1.5 hours from Big Bend Ranch State Park. The easiest way to get there was down 169 but it's all dirt road. If you really just want to get in the middle of nowhere for a few days it's a good place to do it.

I’ve stayed at dozens of rentals all over the country and this one was the best I’ve experienced. The location is breathtaking and the house had everything we possibly needed. I’ve never felt such at peace while on vacation. My group had intended to visit big bend multiple days but 1 day was all we wanted, as the ranch was too enjoyable to leave. I can’t wait to come back.

The White House Ranch was perfect for our family of nine. The house is stocked with everything you need. The linens are top notch, furniture is beautiful yet functional, and the pool table/game room was well used! Don’t miss the hammock out front and take time for an evening or morning walk.
