As an ex-architecture student, it was a rare and enlightening experience to stay in an Earthship and see the processes that were undertaken first hand. The house is very much nestled away in the forest up a long driveway. It is a functioning family home - both nights we were treated to a delicious dinner, including home-grown veggies, with Brian and Karen's family and their grandchildren. The house itself was dry, spacious and warm and super close to an amazing forest trail which lights up like the night sky with glow worms. We were also treated to a documentary about Mike Reynolds - the forefather of earthships - and his wonderful legacy. One thing to note for potential airbnb guests - remember this is a family home and not a hotel. There are little projects still happening around the house and the property is littered with collections of second hand items, ducks/chickens/cats (including some adorable kittens) and spare building materials, and this is fine and adds to the organic feel so to speak, however do book with an open mind and know that the place is not immaculately neat and tidy. The toilet is totally fine too (better than the holes we dig while camping) but be aware of the fact that it's a little compostable loo before booking if you're not into that kind of thing. Other than that, beautiful location, lovely hosts and a very awesome self sustainable home which has inspired us to look into creating one here at home. Thanks again for the experience!
