Wildlife abound, with visits from what we named the “resident” quail, who showed up daily to sing the song of his people, to a pleasant visit from a local Road Runner. (it did not say “Beep Beep”) The daytime views were equally stunning, with desert landscape, beautiful mountains in the distance and large Texas skies. The host was communicative, very cool and friendly. We have stayed at various places in the surrounding areas for the last 6 years, from Alpine to Balmorhea to Marfa, and we can honestly say this was the best experience the entire family has ever had. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60c3037f-293a-4edb-9211-e0d3aaafe0e5-1756865792097.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c952b7a-e0ce-4d8b-a5dc-d4a8f9d927aa-1756865791009.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b4fd23f3-caf4-407d-9119-65f2129581b0-1756865791937.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16f62b91-92c4-43df-bc64-72a8fc2214bc-1756865790709.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Erik Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha B.

This was my second stay here and about to book my third. This place is amazing. So clean, well furnished, upscale amenities, everything you need, just bring your own groceries. The location is complete privacy. The house sits facing north/south, so the east to west sunset and sunrise are visible from the back deck and pool. Marfa has the most amazing sunrise/sunsets. Do not wait. Book this place now! Even in August the humidity free mornings are cool and you can open the windows to let the constants blowing breeze in. ##### Stephen M.

Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly exceptional desert escape Everything about this rental is carefully curated by the owner and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It checks all the boxes for me. Very close to town (less than 3 minutes) yet you feel far away. The house is SUPER clean and not overcluttered, it's minimalist but not cold which is totally my vibe. Clear and precise instructions on how to use everything. Owner was always quick to respond to questions I had before the stay and gave very specific directions on how to get there because we were arriving late at night. We didn't have any issues. I love how well stocked the house is. Tons of dishes and appliances, extra blankets and towels. Also love having a washer and dryer. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone who enjoys peace and quiet with incredible views. It honestly doesn't get any better than Merit Camp so you can just stop searching right now and hit that "book" button! ##### Paige M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esmeldi S.

We celebrated our five year anniversary with our two dogs here, and we're already making plans to return for my husband's birthday. I echo many other reviews in that the house is so well appointed; no detail was missed. Beds and couch were super comfy, washer and dryer available. The house as a whole was super clean and welcoming! Lauren, the owner, was quick to respond when needed and provided very detailed instructions. I swear she thought of everything but you're close enough into town to grab anything you may need. We grabbed groceries and I made the best anniversary dinner with the most beautiful place settings. What rental ever has matching place settings - this one! The walled-in yard was really nice for my pups to run around with no worries. We even had some cattle (that included a couple calfs) come and say hi one morning-so cute! We packed our telescope and oh so glad we did, but know you can see every single star in the sky with your naked eye. Such a beautiful and unforgettable sight visiting from Houston. Don't wait, book Merit Camp like right now! ##### Esmeldi S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan H.
