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!

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!

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.
