It was an awesome place to stay off the beaten path. Loved Sitting on the porch early morning watching the Sunrise & the wildlife. Truly God’s masterpiece It was great to come back to our roots in west Texas where I grew up to relax & spend time with our local family. Marathon is small but mighty. We love coming out here every year for our cousin get together at Thanksgiving Great hostess!!
