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.

Great wonderful place to get away from it all. Special tent accommodations and they even have teepees! Wonderful stargazing!! A “must” for anyone!!! Great outdoor showers and toilets with all the amenities! Bring your own toiletries.

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.

This review will sound unfair, because I booked late and didn’t account for the weather. My girlfriend and I arrived near sunset, and booked the tent accommodation on the website about an hour before we arrived. It looked great on Expedia, and the outdoor shower and bathroom sounded fun. But after I checked in I saw the tent was dirty, the outdoor bathroom looked unkempt, and the hottubs were booked up (people book the tubs for 7-11pm… why? So many other people could enjoy them in that time). Also, when I checked in, they couldn’t find my reservation. They said Expedia hadn’t synced up with them. After a long delay and a couple phone calls, the front desk finally ok’ed the reservation. We looked at the tent, bathrooms and shower, and my girlfriend looked very unhappy. I also looked at the weather report and realized it was going to be 34°F The front desk offered additional blankets, and reassured us the electric blankets were good, but somehow it looked like camping at a national park for five times the cost. I asked to cancel, but they wouldn’t refund us the money. I sent a sweet email and asked for a refund, but didn’t get a response. So… I sucked up the cost as a bad decision to come here. Sorry folks, I was looking forward to this visit, but my experience was bad
