In the Hut Earthship, there was a faint smell from the composting toilet but not the Phoenix. Nary a bug in sight. I guess my only real complaint is that the wireless router in the Phoenix is on a hour timer. So if I forgot to run over and turn the dial periodically, I got dropped from my network connection which was a pain. But that's about it for negatives.

I've always been fascinated by Earthships and we're considering a visit. Any downsides? I've read about faint odors from the compostable toilets, ginormous bugs (inside) and some wear and tear in the other homes, but haven't seen much about the Phoenix. Thanks again.

It's really neat. I'm especially in love with their outdoor auditorium and there stargazing stairs. But, yes, the earthships are amazing, too. I especially love their use of glass and bright interior colors. And something about the earth walls feels totally right to me.

My mom lives near Arcosanti in Scottsdale which we go to every time I visit. But this is even more amazing. Thanks for sharing it. Wow, it’s beautiful!
