Eve’s Garden Amenities
Make yourself at home, here’s a list of some additional offering that makes Eve’s Garden special.
Reflection Pond / Summer-Time Solar Heated Lap Pool
Just off the main house you’ll find this beautiful space. In the winter, it’s a peaceful reflecting pool perfect for sipping morning coffee, or an afternoon spot to gather inspiration. In the summer-time, it’s a solar heated lap pool ,a great place to warm up before an exhilarating hike in the Big Bend.
The Main House: Our main house is where the magic happens- where we prep breakfast. Since the Corona we’ve had the main house closed to guests. But now vaccinated folks are welcom to take a walk through, but we haven’t had any activities in the house lately.
The Fire Pit: A great place to meet the other guests, tell your stories and watch the gorgeous West Texas night sky. There are ingrients for s’mores in our courtesy room and marshmellow roasting sticks in the blue bench in the back yard. 
Organic Fair Trade Locally Roasted Coffee:
Kate w Guatamalan Gift Bag she made for Marfa Coffee
People love our coffee. We serve the coffee roasted in neighboring community Marfa, by Big Bend Roasters. They import organic fair-trade green coffee from the great coffee producers of the world and roast it in right there in Marfa. We serve it for breakfast and all day. If you’d like to pick up a souvenir bag, Big Bend Roasters has made Eve’s Garden branded bags!
Telephone: Feel free to use our phone at no cost within the USA
Temperature control: It doesn’t take much to cool and heat our super-insulated papercrete rooms. We’ve installed highly effecient, quiet “mini-split” units. Five of the rooms have romantic faux fire places.
WiFi: Wireless Internet if available all over the property. No password.
The Covered Atrium:
When walking out the back door of the main house, you pass through an open courtyard with the fire-pit and enter into the covered atrium that is surrounded by six of our seven guest rooms and our courtesy room. Here, under the 24 foot high vaulted ceiling we have installed giatnt fans for your comfort in the summer and we have propane fueled heaters in the cold times. There is a fish pond, and tables and chairs for eating and passing the afternoon or cool desert evenings. We have set up a band in the courtyard for intimate parties of up to 50.
Organic Greenhouse:
Kate’s Organic Greenhouse
Make yourself at home in our greenhouse. Kate has her own greenhouse producing over 20 varieties of roses and countless flowers. In the summer of 2014 we completely reconstructed the roof, installing a more professional (and pretty) double walled polycarbonate plastic. New seeds are in the ground, soon we’ll be overflowing with vegetables!
Filtered Water:
Stay Hydrated
Marathon is located in the West Texas high desert, at 4000 feet. It is usually quite dry here. It is very important to stay hydrated! We have filtered water in the main house. In the courtesy room there is reverse osmosis water to refill your bottles.
Our Courtesy Room:
Off the atrium we have what we call our courtesy room. Right now we are serving a “fancy casual” breakfast from the glass front fridge. We have added a steam table, so you can serve yourself a hot breakfast. We have also added an air-fryer to heat up interesting breakfast treats such a our Brie, herbed omelette croissants. It has an ice machine, a microwave, that air fryer, a mini-fridge (each room also has a mini-fridge), electric tea pot, tea, filtered water, ingrients for s’mores, and a delicious afternoon snack. We provide a fresh brewed coffee for the early risers. There are dishes and utensils for a meal in the courtyard.There is a selection of books too. If you find one you like, feel free to carry it on your journey.
Souvenirs:
Bring home one of our “naked lady” t-shirts, Big Bend Roasters Fair-Trade Organic Coffee, Cowboy Johnny’s Local Honey, Alexa Walker’s Photography (Card Sets and Prints), Lynn’s Gammon’s mizuhiki orbs, and much more; you never know what treasure we might have to share with you!
