About this property

Organic Earthen Desert Dome For Two -Sustainable Stay Under the Stars Terlingua

ABOUT THE DOME:
This dome was constructed entirely with the dirt beneath your feet... It's walls brightened with non-toxic, natural-paints... a wooden bed frame... & a luxurious organic mattress with warm, soft, linens. Here... We are committed to the highest quality, natural materials... because your body matters... Our Planet matters. This is not "green-washing"... this is genuine love for this earth & the want to share it.

ABOUT THE DESERT:
Some see the desert as a barren wasteland... a harsh place where life struggles to exist. But when one spends time in this place, they realize this is furthest from the truth. You see, the desert is not as egoic as the rest of the world. Its beauty is remarkable, yet requires a slowing down to see. It is a place full of contrast...It hosts the brightest of days & darkest of nights...This place seeks to reflect us, to teach us, to nourish us. Come. Its Time You Reconnect.
