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.

Disliked: Amenities

The parking lot was far from our rooms, so dragging luggage was a pain. Also, they do not provide tissues, soap, shampoo, or a microwave. And no washcloth or hand towel (only bath towel). I asked front desk about this and they said it was "glamping". I notified them that there was nothing "glam"orous about not providing these essentials.

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!

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!

Marfa en si es un lugar extraño y que mejor en pernoctar en un lugar extraño. Hay varias clases de habitaciones que uno puede reservar y tuvimos un tema que al llegar nos “tocó” las tiendas de campaña tipo safari y el baño era público y no está ni bien y tampoco limpios, por lo que se tuvo que cambiar de opción. Solicitamos cambios de habitación y no fue posible. En la noche llovió y entró agua en estos lugares lo cual tampoco es nada cómodo ya que la tierra y el agua se convierte en lodo. Volvería, pero definitivamente no a esta clase de habitaciones. Existe un horario de atención de 7:30 a 22 horas, después no hay nadie quien te pueda atender. Les reitero, como “aventura” está bien ya que no hay nada parecido que haya visitado antes.

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.

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.

Good, but not great, Bushtec tent experience

This is a fun and pretty comfortable outdoorsy place to stay. However, we were there in Feb. The heater and hot water heater inside made the tent perfectly comfortable, but we could never get hot water in the tent's outdoor shower. Since the indoor tub was old and dirty, didn't want to use that. We tried the 'community' outdoor showers but couldn't get hot water there either. All else was great, albeit not as great as it would be in spring/summer/fall, when more people are there. Lots of space, a very cool vibe.

We stayed in one of the Bushtech tents for just one night after spending two nights camping and hiking in Big Bend National Park. The Bushtec tents have both an outdoor shower and indoor tub, but when we arrived in Bushtec tent#2 and tried to take a shower, there was a pipe that had burst next to the shower head so water was shooting all over the place (up into the air and unto the tent itself) and there was really low water pressure coming out of the actual showerhead. In addition, the water coming out of the showerhead was completely cold so we weren't able to take a (much needed) shower. When we told the front-desk manager the next morning, she just said she'd report it to the maintence manager. El Cosmico, please be sure all of the facilities/features in your lodging are up-to-standard and actually provide all of the amenities that your guests are paying for. Thank you!
