MAIN Earthship cabins with EPIC lake view and spring water!

Stay in a home designed to waste nothing. Our Earthship is an architectural marvel built from recycled materials, including tires, bottles, and cans, and is crafted using world-renowned Earthship Biotecture principles and traditional Mayan craftsmanship. This unique property overlooks the breathtaking Lake Atitlan – a supervolcano crater lake surrounded by volcanoes and indigenous villages.

Location & Community

We are situated high above San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala – a hub for yoga, meditation, and holistic healing. The Yoga Forest is next door, and our neighbor roasts fresh local coffee you can enjoy in the shared outdoor kitchen. San Marcos is a spiritual community with yoga schools, massage therapists, herbal classes, and traditional Mayan culture interwoven with an international expat presence.

This place is perfect for travelers who are adventurous and like to stay in places that aren't ordinary. It's a hike up to the house, so best for people who are in shape and don't have accessibility issues. Charming apartment, lovely outdoor kitchen w/ gorgeous view of Lake Atitlan and the surrounding volcanoes. Lots of fruit trees, and great experience in nature. Crystals in outdoor tub are cool too.
