Some info has been automatically translated.
This structure is part of an overall experimental building project we have had going for 15 years. There are other structures on the property made from recycled materials including 'papercrete.' Free dust: it is the desert. You should not expect the Ritz Carlton, but if you have some flexibility and half a 'hippie bone' left in your body, this might be the place for you to expand. Come see us, share some travel stories and relax under and amazing milky way. No TV's in the room.

The space
Built by wandering Stone Mason, who started by enclosing his trailer with local rock and added lovely bedroom .
Stone Cottage it's single , private unit.
Kitchenette has all basics.. mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and double hot plate.

In case you use all the electric appliances at the same time and blow the breaker you can easy fix it.(breaker box is located just outside on the wall).
