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!

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.
