The buildings were pretty amazing and I was impressed with the intersection of tech and engineering. Our tour guide was ok.

Ryan was great and answered all of our questions as we are actively considering a net zero solution in our next home.

I thought that Ryan offered a great tour with lots of good information. I also liked the “Ryanisms,” little quotes that provided examples and comparisons to describe systems and such on the tour. I will recommend Earthship tours (and philosophy/ways of treating Mother Earth) to friends.

The tour was not very successful at promoting the adoption of your concepts. By showing only early developmental buildings and not a modern complete earthship you sold yourself very short.

Earthship was an incredibly unique experience! We booked the entire Phoenix building and the Truchas building for a staff retreat to learn about sustainability and resourcefulness. We had a wonderful time experiencing these unique stays and learning about how these homes operate in such a sustainable manner. I will say the Phoenix needed a bit more upkeep (trimming the plants, cleaning to windows for more light to come through since it was quite dark in there, and better cleaning due to pests), however, the staff that stayed in that building expressed having a wonderful time and enjoying the strangeness of the building! The Truchas was a beautiful more modern building that a few of us had the pleasure to enjoy. It was absolutely beautiful, however, the map and directions to get to that building was a bit challenging. We were also driving and checking in in the dark, but it still didn't make total sense how to get there. Once we did get there, we were relieved at its beauty and comfort. Overall, great experience! It was especially wonderful learning how it all works and giving us all inspiration for better more sustainable living! P.s. If you are ok with mice, you'll have a squeaking good time!
