situated in the high desert of far west texas, away from civilization, this tiny town comprised of four traffic lights seems like an unlikely place to visit. but by spending some time in marfa, we discovered an artistically charming and incredibly unique community with a texan twist.
here’s a list of our marfa favorites:
rest your head at el cosmico: this isn’t your typical room and board. whether you are staying in one of their chic remodeled vintage trailers, glamping in one of their safari tents, or indulging your inner hippie with a stay in their teepees, spending time at el cosmico is sure to be a most memorable experience.

explore the chinati foundation: this army base turned contemporary art museum houses works by minimalist artist donald judd and several of his friends and fellow artists. (chinati.org)
take in some culture at ballroom marfa: a dance hall turned art exhibition space; ballroom marfa showcases contemporary cultural art and hosts many great live shows when bands swing by the town. (ballroommarfa.org)
gaze in wonder at the marfa mystery lights: remaining a mystery to tourists and locals alike, the marfa mystery lights are a major attraction credited to either atmospheric reflections of light or a paranormal phenomenon, you be the judge. (marfacc.com)
chow down at cochineal: with a seasonal menu made up of local ingredients grown in the restaurant’s garden, cochineal attracts fans with an emphasis on simple and delicious food. be sure to try their made-to-order date pudding! (cochinealmarfa.com)
