Marfa House Fronteriza, Accessible and Central

Marfa House, originally built as a railroad hotel in 1892, offers an oasis of comfortable accommodations in the heart of Marfa's historic center, a short walk from galleries, restaurants, and shops. The Fronteriza apartment has a full kitchen/dining area, bedroom with queen bed and Roku TV, a gas fireplace, and a large accessible bathroom, as well as original art with a contemporary and West Texas flair. Guests have access to a common gallery with gas fireplace, and a 2nd floor balcony. The space Fronteriza is a first-floor apartment with three rooms: a fully equipped kitchen/dining/living room, a bedroom with queen-sized bed a 24-inch Roku TV, space for hanging clothes, and a large light-filled bathroom with accessibility features. Guest access Fronteriza guests access the property by walking up the paved and lighted walkway to a gated courtyard at the rear of Marfa House, entering the screened atrium entry with a keycode, and into the downstairs hall with a keycode. Fronteriza is accessed from its keypad entry, which is on the right immediately after entering the downstairs hall. All guests have access to the common areas: the front gallery, the front balcony, and the screened atrium with firepit and a large-screen TV. Other things to note Guests interested in the accessible features of Fronteriza should note that the entry to Fronteriza from the first floor hall is 30-1/4 inches wide, due to the historic width of the adobe portal to this apartment. However, entry from the living/dining area to the bedroom and from the bedroom to the accessible bathroom are each at least 32 inches wide. The Marfa House gallery space and atrium with large-screen TV at the rear are both on the first floor without steps and are accessible areas. Marfa is a railroad town: established in 1883 as a water stop on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Marfa House was a railroad hotel and is still located 100 yards from the SP tracks. Trains pass through up to 12 times a day and sound their air horns at the three main crossings in town, so guests may hear TRAIN SOUNDS at any time of the day or night. Most of our guests are not bothered, and we believe this is part of the romance of West Texas.
