The space
I built this house myself over 3 years while living in a tent. It was one of the hardest things I have done, but so worth it.

This house is called an Earthship, a totally off grid house that catches its own rain water, generates its own electricity and stays at a steady 72 degrees all year round without the use of any fuel or electricity what-so-ever!

Don't let the term "Off Grid" fool you, this house has all the modern amenities. fast WiFi, Netflix with a flat screen tv, large refrigerator, large oven/range with a powerful exhaust hood, large bathroom with a luxuriously deep tub and stone all around. There is even a washing machine and dryer in case you need to do laundry.

The sun heats the house passively, but don't worry, you can still sleep in after a late light with black out shades that let you control when the sun illuminates this beautiful space.

Other things to note
Dogs are permitted with an extra $50 fee. That one time fee is for your entire stay no matter how long. There is one queen size bed that sleeps 2 and a super comfortable, queen bed that our daybed converts into which sleeps an additional 2 guests. Additional guests over 2 years old are $25/night each.

We work very hard to mitigate the presence of mice. Unfortunately, they are part of life out on the Mesa. While unlikely, there is a possibility that you could receive a visit during your stay.

My work: Homeowner Builder
Lives in Kerhonkson, New York
Hi! My name is Dan and I got started with home building with my Earthship in Taos, NM. From there, my wife and I settled in New York's Hudson Valley to develop a piece of raw land into our homestead and vacation rental. I love traveling the world, growing my own food, and building furniture and houses. I'm super lucky that my wife and daughter share these loves!
