Istel is the founder of Felicity and the town’s longtime mayor, having been elected, almost 30 years ago, to an apparent lifetime term. The vote was unanimous: Istel voted for himself and so did Felicity’s other resident, Istel’s wife, Felicia. The town, established in 1986, consists of the Istels’ home and a half-dozen other buildings that the couple built on 2,600 acres in the middle of the desert near Yuma, Ariz., just off Interstate 8. At the north end, up an imposing staircase, sits the Church on the Hill at Felicity — inspired by a little white chapel in Brittany — that Istel built in 2007. The church is gorgeous and serene and looks eerily out of place, though less out of place than the 21-foot-tall stone-and-glass pyramid on the opposite end of town. The pyramid is there to mark the exact center of the world.

It has everything you need plus more, even a crockpot for mom to make her famous cabbage rolls. The pool was great and there is even a bathroom out by the pool so there is no need to track through the house. We really hope to stay here again next time we come out. "

La Fuente Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Traveling with RV but wanted a quick motel for the night. Picked Las Fuentes on Expedia for low price, but we were amazed at the property; happy hour, pool, breakfast, beautiful courtyard, and welcoming front desk staff. Room was great. Next door to Denny's for meals. Will look for other properties as we travel!!"
