"The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration" -Monet
The Earth House Atrium is a unique and rare off-grid earthship home handcrafted from recycled materials. While we are self reliant and off the grid, most folks and carriers get good cell service and we also have wifi and high speed internet! This is a passive solar home that relies on thermal mass and the sun for heating and cooling. The home is off-grid and gets it's power from the sun. The Earth House is tucked back in the black forest of Colorado Springs and sits on 5 acres of beautiful land and ponderosa pine! This is a very special and non traditional stay for those who enjoy off-grid and eco living! if you're looking for a new build, or a basic Colorado cabin, this is not for you!
If you're looking to connect with each other and nature on a spiritual level and almost no environmental impact. . .welcome!

Guest access
Max of 6 guests and no more! The home is self sustaining and our electricity and water are powered by the sun! The home physically cannot sustain more than 6 people. You will have access to the entire home minus the garage and a utility room. Each of these restricted spaces hold very important electrical aspects of our complex off-grid systems! Our utility room does have a washer and dryer which we will consider giving access to long term guests for an extra fee if asked!
Other things to note
The home is off grid and powered by the sun. The house isn't going to "shut down" on you, but please be mindful of your electrical usage! Turn off lights and leave most things unplugged unless in use. Run the dishwasher and other large appliances during the day when the sun is shining!
The same goes for the water! We have filtered water that uses a solar pump from a private well. It's the most clean and fresh Colorado aquaphor water but please be mindful of your usage. You won't ever run out of water, but 6 guests shouldn't all be taking a bath every day if that makes sense A big part of this home is being mindful of our usage and never taking or using more than we need and we hope you will respect that and our Earth as well!
As well as being a passive solar home, it's also relies on thermal mass and the earth to keep warm. With that being said, the whole home is open concept including the bedrooms! In order to heat and cool properly both bedrooms are completely open with no doors!
The home does very well regulating it own temperature, but we have a propane fireplace at the front of the home and a pellet stove at the back. we will have detailed instructions on how to use both and will also provide a reasonable amount of pellets for your stay. There are also many different ways to keep the home cool which we will also provide details on! We just suggest to pack warm layers and sweaters in the winter and lighter layers for around the home in the summer.
