Visits in Marfa have always been delightful, however my last trip out there in May was even more enchanting and inspiring than ever before. I stayed at Liz Lambert’s El Cosmico, a fun vintage airstream trailer-turned hotel on an 18 acre plot of land smack in the center of town. The trailers are impeccably redone inside and designed with the best modern country taste. I even got to stay in the one giant tee-pee on the grounds my last night – where we took full advantage of the fire pit (and yes, that does include fire dancing) surrounded by 50 cow-hyde rugs in the middle of the room. It is definitely one of the most peaceful places I can imagine and will definitely be going back on a regular basis. Lambert herself has said the very idea is to allow for artistic inspiration. “Getting hundreds or thousands of miles from home with nothing by sky and view removes a lot of distractions.” I couldn’t agree more.
Nice photos. Sweet blog.
Come out to El Cosmico weekend in September.
