Welcome to Marathon, the soulful gateway to Big Bend National Park and home to some of the darkest, most breathtaking skies in the lower 48. This delightful 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom gambrel roofed cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of this enchanting West Texas town — perched on two lots on the peaceful western edge of town, yet just a short walk to everything. Step outside your front door to uninterrupted views of the Glass Mountains and the endless expanse of Texas sky. With a population of just 400, Marathon is small in size but rich in culture and experience. Where else can you stroll from your home to a hotel regularly ranked among Condé Nast Traveler’s Best in the World? The historic Gage Hotel, home to the renowned 12 Gage Restaurant and White Buffalo Bar, is just down the street. Enjoy local gems like Ghostfire Pizza, Desert Ghost Distillery, Brick Vault Barbeque, and three fine art galleries showcasing nationally acclaimed Texas artists — all within walking distance. Marathon’s creative and welcoming spirit is on full display, with a brand-new library and museum set to open this fall. Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat, a creative outpost, or a foothold in one of Texas’ most captivating landscapes, this cozy cottage offers comfort, charm, and a front-row seat to Marathon’s magic. Own your piece of the Big Bend region — a hidden gem where the stars shine brighter and the possibilities stretch as far as the horizon.
