This was my second time visiting and it did not disappoint! The stone cottage is a quaint reminder of a more simple time. Plenty of things to do in the area or one can sit on the sky deck and enjoy the stars! Ingrid is so friendly and helpful! A little gem in the desert!

The property is in the small community of Marathon, about 1/4 mile from the main road through town, US 90. This is a great place to stay for quiet and contemplation.

Relaxing Retreat

Ingrid was very friendly and helpful with getting me settled into my cabin and shared info on local events. The cabin itself was very cute and cozy for my little one lady retreat. The property is eclectic and beautiful with a great view of the mountains.

Eco-wonderful!

Very comfortable rock house addition to a travel trailer in a little eco-village of various artfully recycled materials. Ingrid was a very nice and helpful host. Nice views and native plants to enjoy. Would highly recommend a stay if you are into alternative architecture, recycling, tiny houses, environmental awareness, or just need a quiet getaway. Hope to visit again.

Charming artist-made hole in a great location

For lack of a better phrase this place has great energy. The cottage is so cozy and well designed/appointed and waking up in the morning or strolling at twilight through this cluster of art-homes is a very special experience. Everything is well run, hosts are friendly and easy going. Can’t wait to return.

Nice weekend get away

Weekend getaway to Marathon. La Loma del Chivo is a neat place with tons of history. Ingrid and Guil are very accommodating and nice folks. A very laid back place to sit around a fire and view the star lit sky. We will definitely stay here again.
