What makes McGonagill House different? It is one of the largest vacation rentals in Marathon and includes a very large lawn that is surrounded by mature pecan trees. Our family home was built as a 'townhouse' for a local ranching family and constructed with native rock from the family ranch, the Appel Ranch, in the nearby Glass Mountains. Completed in the 1940s, it includes "Victory Vs" in the exterior rock faces, intended to memorialize the Allied victory during WWII. The McGonagill's son, Eldon, was a medic on active duty in the Pacific Theatre at the time. The rental property includes the bottom floor of the house (3br/2b), the large yard, and parking in the roomy driveway and/or the one-car garage. There is additional parking on the west side of the house in a mowed grassy area. Note: The upstairs is unoccupied at all times.
This home is a quaint mixture of original furnishings along with updated bathrooms and a full kitchen. Porches on the front of the home allow visitors to relax and enjoy those great, wide-open West Texas skies. Birders welcome! All furnishings can be moved to accommodate the guest's preferences. If custom locations for furniture are requested prior to arrival, we will accommodate those requests.
A short stroll will take you to the heart of Marathon where you can enjoy breakfast or lunch at the V6. Additional restaurants include Gilda's Grill, Brick Vault BBQ and Brewery, the Oasis restaurant. Always call ahead for hours and availability. Enjoy shopping at one of the numerous art galleries and small gift shops/boutiques. You may enjoy an evening drink at the White Buffalo Bar or a meal at the Gage. Sandwiches, pizza, and other light foods can be purchased at the French Grocer, along with a small variety of groceries and other essentials.
Above all, Marathon is a place to unwind and relax. Leave your worries at the county line, grab a massage at the spa, or sit outside and engage in conversation with the locals. It's all good in Marathon.
