The Marfa, West Texas Trip & Blog Post




First, this trip  adventure and photo album is graciously dedicated to the kind couple of Mr. Don & Mrs. Linda Shafer. Don and Linda Shafer are Austin Silent Market real estate clients and  are original friends with my broker Dad George Sears McGee. I, George Vance McGee befriended Don and & Linda during casual passerby's in Clarksville West Austin as a fellow resident. I was an 7-8 year Clarksville loft studio renter. Don and Linda mentioned they spend parts of their year in a "pre-fabricated"  Modern Home and Guest Home they own & frequent in Marfa, Texas. The Shafers' created this estate on a gorgeous View-tastic hilltop. It's called, "the Glass House."

I'd personally describe the town and ambiance of Marfa Texas, as quiet, artsy, sleepy, and cool with a touch of NYC/Brooklyn Hipster sprinkled on top. All while still retaining West Texas authenticity.

 My wife and I were fortunate enough to be house guests for 1 week.

Here were some of our enjoyable commercial business visits (that were open during our visit) in Marfa, Texas

Planet Marfa 

The Sentinel Newspaper, Coffee Shop & Goods 

The Marfa Spirit Co. Distillery 

Cochineal Marfa Restaurant 

Margaret's in Marfa Restaurant 

Marfa Hardware Store

The following photo albums will organized by specific West Texas town and area. While a visit to Big Bend National Park is included too. According to patrons, Big Bend National Park is the least visited National Park in the United State, BUT the most re-visited National Park. Feel free to fact check this yourself.
