An AUTHENTIC HISTORIC UNDERGROUND BOMB SHELTER! We love it, and have renovated it to be a cozy space, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MOBILITY, SMALL/NARROW SPACES, OR BASEMENT ODORS: THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. This unit has very STEEP STAIRS and NOISY PLUMBING WHEN IN USE.

In just 120 square feet, we provide everything you need for the end of the world: fridge, microwave, hotplate, high-speed WiFi, Smart TV and a small bathroom with shower included. Maximum occupancy: 2

The space
The Lincoln's half-acre property features communal fire pits, lush desert gardens, a koi pond, a bocce court, and a cowboy soak tank. Right on the majestic courthouse square, you'll be just steps away from shops, restaurants, and galleries.

We've designed the entrance of the Bomb Shelter to allow maximum natural light, but if you are not inclined to small, closed-in spaces, we'd recommend checking out one of our above-ground rental units instead.

Plumbing is loud when in use (just a part of living underground), so complimentary earplugs are provided. Creating a functional living space below-ground has presented unique challenges, and we’ve done our best to make this into a fun and comfortable experience. We hope you enjoy!

Guest access
Full access to this private suite. The space is one of many on the property, so you will likely meet Lincoln residents and other guests aboveground in the communal courtyards. Feel free to explore!

Other things to note
The Lincoln is self-check-in; the suite will be ready for you anytime after our 3pm check-in time. Find your room number using the map found in the "Guest Information" box at the property entrances.

Neighbourhood highlights

Marfa is only one square mile in size, so getting around is never a big concern, but The Lincoln is as centrally-located as it gets, across the street from the beautiful Courthouse Square with views of the historic Presidio County Courthouse. Highland Ave is the only Main Street in town, and we are just around the corner, with a local bakery called Aster serving breakfast and lunch right next door. We are a five minute walk to just about all the galleries, bars, and shops!

Clark (a fifth-generation Texan) and Adam (from New England) are owner/operators of The Lincoln, a courtyard lodging compound in Marfa, Texas consisting of 14 fully-equipped rentals for both visitors and locals. After lovingly restoring the unique property themselves between 2015 and 2020, they are so excited to share this experience - and labor of love - with guests from all over. They live on-site, so maybe you’ll see them around!
