Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Experience the studio Earthship as seen on Off Grid Build! Just search for "Off The Grid Build" to find it. Experience Off Grid living with all the modern amenities in the beautiful high desert mesa just outside Taos, NM.

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.

Neighborhood highlights

The neighborhood is very quiet. My favorite thing to do is take the dog for a walk at sunset.

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!
