Since we arrived on the first hot day after a cold spell, the a/c in the yurts hadn’t been switched from heat to a/c but the maintenance people were very responsive in addressing it quickly. Loved the yurt experience!

We had never heard of Marfa, TX but my son encouraged us to visit as we were passing through west Texas. It was a little out of our way but we are so glad we did. Our stay at El Cosmico was the icing on the cake. We stayed in a yurt for the first time which was awesome but the entire property is just so fun. We had read about glamping but never experienced it. I highly recommend visiting both Marfa and El Cosmico.

It is close to the highway so you can definitely hear highway noise (though it is Marfa and not Houston) and there is also a railroad not too far away so a train came through 6am. It IS camping and there were dogs around that were barking so you could hear them. The facilities were great though! We stayed in teepees that were awesome!

Such a great visit . Loved my teepee experience. It was a fairly chilly night but the fire and electric blankets kept me warm . I hope to return with friends someday soon.

Love the concept & design. Maintenance seems to be a step or two behind - visually evident by strolling through the property's unique collection of trailers, tipis, tents, etc. Also, our trailer door wouldn't latch without a strong physical lift on the door knob to align it.

I love El Cosmico and Marfa. They have a vision few others have and it’s wonderful. It’s important El Cosmico focuses on deferred maintenance. Loose faucet handles, toilet handles, insulating pipes, etc.. Part of the charm is the cool design with a dash of grit, but it anll should function well. Overall, definitely make the pilgrimage.

El Cósmico was great! We stayed in a yurt. It is a slower season so it was pretty empty but we enjoyed the peacefulness! Front Desk was so nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend a stay here! The public showers are a little iffy but worth everything else. Thank you for having us!

Warm cozy beds, wild pigs!
The bed in the safari tent is sooo comfortable and the bed warmer was perfect to keep us comfortable and cozy thru the night. The only downside was that a wild pig dumped over the trash near the office and parking lot. I picked up the one near the office, but the parking lot trash remained scattered until we checked out late that morning.
