Stargazing Earthship Retreat in Taos with Outdoor Fire Pit - sleeps 6!

Very comfortable and fun place to stay for our family of 4, in an amazing setting! We enjoyed the earthship experience and the passive design principles that allow for off-grid living here.

This was an amazing experience and would definitely repeat if we’re ever back in the Taos area. Beautiful scenery and a place to live where you really get a feel for living closer to nature and its rhythms. The house stayed a very comfortable temperature the whole time, and everything worked as they should! The main bedroom’s bed was very comfortable as well! Loved the plants in the front room and really contributed to the feeling of the place being alive. You’re about 30 minutes or less from Taos which was really fun to explore as well as other things a little further away. Thanks for a memorable stay!

This was our first experience being totally off grid so we weren’t sure what to expect. There is everything you need. Full kitchen for food prep and storage (no microwave and it did take some trial and error making French press coffee), plenty of hot water for cleanup and showers, very comfortable and quiet inside. We didn’t mess with heating or cooling and it was a little cool inside, but we like it that way. The setting is beautiful with a remote feel to it yet very convenient for touring the area. The hosts were very responsive to all our questions. A stop at the visitor center is well worth it to understand what this community and its structures are all about.

Incredible, unique experience

Absolutely amazing experience! Will stay again one day!

We enjoyed experiencing earthship living for ourselves. The accommodations were very comfortable. We were definitely conscientious in the use of our water knowing that drought conditions applied. Living alongside a garden with flowering plants and fruit trees made the environment beautiful and also less clean than we are accustomed to. Although unavoidable, the accumulation of dust tracked in from outside made keeping the floors clean a challenge. Perhaps a paved or gravel path might help alleviate some of this issue.We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and the Mountain View’s. We took full advantage of seeing the sunrise each morning from the comfort of the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. We also enjoyed viewing the stars at night with the advantage of a dark night sky. Thank you!

Beautiful house - loved the amazing plants in the greenhouse patio, the beautiful setting and the architecture! Very cozy and comfortable for our group (4 adults and 2 kids)

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was as described. It’s always been a dream of ours sustain on earth ship. It was neat to see the vegetation growing so strong. We really enjoyed the view of the desert sky and the mountains in the background. The house maintained a decent temperature without heating. The Internet was fast. Everything was clean. Host communicated well. Thank you!

So interesting! This place has a gorgeous inside garden of fucshia geraniums plus a host of fascinating features. Highly recommended.

A heavy smell like mold or bat guano permeated every room, or could have been from back up in septic recycling grey water. Dead mouse near outdoor fire pit. Found broken glass in kitchen. Surface cleaning good but oven really needed cleaning. Outdoor chairs hadn’t been cleaned. Front view included two campers and and a van, ruining the view in that direction. The surrounding views were magnificent but I cannot recommend this home due to a very serious lack of upkeep

Great star gazing, super close to the gorge and Taos. Unique house.

Unique property and overall great stay. A little more attention to overall cleanliness would have been 5 stars but we would stay again and explore some other Earthship properties since they all look a little different and fun.

We had a fantastic stay. It was a great experience for our kids. Our host was extremely helpful and responsive. This is a rental we will remember for a long time!

So magical!! The location was really breathtaking with views of the mountains all around!!The weather kind of betrayed us (huge winter storm with snow and rain!) so it was a bit cold but the blankets on the beds were nice and snuggly! We also did not get to see any stars due to cloud coverage.The Earthship did have a pretty significant ant problem, but we just put everything in the fridge and it was okay.Make sure to read the handbook as there are two spouts on the faucets: one for drinking water and one for other uses (we did not realize that)Overall, an absolutely wonderful once in a lifetime experience.Thank you!!

Instructions and communication from the property manager was great. The property was in great shape and we had an excellent stay.

Had a great stay at the Stargazing Earthship Retreat. The house was clean, the check out instructions were clear and not onerous. The property was quiet and slept myself and my two daughters comfortably. Very close to the gorge and town was just a bit further. The heating/cooling system took a bit to figure out, but was described in the online house documentation. Would stay again!

I loved all aspects of the property. It was warm and welcoming. Our son is headed off to college so it was nice to have closer quarters to hang out in. We couldn’t use the outside because of the March weather it was rather windy but we did bundle up and sit and watch the stars. The idea of an earth shipThank you for having us also was cool to know

Incredible concept and experience . Do it! Loved the house decor and subtle adds

Beautiful, simple, easy, best view to enjoy, off grid retreat from the crazy world we’re all living. Perfect recharge pad. Don’t expect cleanliness perfection but it gives you what you need. Awesome trip. Thank you!
