Time to grill, soak in a Cowboy soaking Tub (NOT hot springs water).

View the distant Turtle back mountain, as you dare to walk the serpent path to the Sun sculpture.
There is also a dog park 5 min. walk from Space Castle.
LivArt:
Within the history of contemporary art, various movements have arisen, and are represented by the style of the artists. We have the following categories in art: portraiture, landscape, color field, pop, super realism, and performance art. All of these forms of art have traditionally been exhibited in galleries and museums.
There are vacation stays, and there are museum stays. We offer the latter with a large exhibit space of spiritual art. It is our intent that every visitor encounters at least one piece of art, that remains in their heart…. LivArt invites a person to dream with the art in a prolonged living situation. Through staying within our environments for a few days, both day and night, the experience transcends an exhibition. Every person is allowed to interact with the art at their own pace, but more importantly, to be absorbed by the experience. LivArt is art that momentarily becomes your own life.
HOT SPRINGS SOAKING:
Space Castle is located just 5 min. walk from the infamous Riverbend for soaking in hot springs water by the river. Riverbend offers communal tubs as well as private tubs in a very magical environment.
You can leave your pets at our Wonder Yard as you go to soak, or you can also take them to the DOG PARK located just 3 min. walking from Space Castle.
If you are not willing to leave our own magical retreat, you can soak in our Wonder Yard in a comfortable cowboy soaking tub for two, while gazing at the changing clouds and the beautiful birds. (NOT hot springs water)

Joseph: June 22
Was quirky, unique, and beautiful just like Truth Or Consequences. It's a short walk from great little restaurants, the riverbend hot springs and less than a 10 minute drive to the beaches at elephant butte. perfect weekend getaway spot for a group of friends or a couple. Dog friendly and extremely clean which is not something you usually get with dog friendly places but the vibe you get while there is one of mutual respect. This was designed to be a thoughtful getaway spot and the people who stay should be thoughtful as well. People in the area are very nice and the wildlife you'll see there is crazy cool. Just me and my lady and dogs this time around but will definitely bring some close friends for next time to experience the lovely little hidden gem. Highly recommend

An immersive and visually stunning experience! I highly recommend this stay.
Frank May 22
I'd been hearing about Truth or Consequences for years, and finally spending a few days there, with the Space Castle as my base of operations, it was a marvelous and transformative experience. The Space Castle sits at the edge of the essential downtown area, a perfect location. A cryptic white structure from the outside, inside you'll find a wonderland of art and sculpture that is in itself an intriguing reflection of the town and area outside. The pictures don't do it justice. All the amenities are superb. In the end, the art, the furniture, the layout, the private backyard... everything feels richer and deeper than any expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend it for your T or C stay.

Space Castle is truly an immersive experience. We enjoyed exploring every inch of this artist home, which offers every amenity you could need as well as an abundance of energetic space to recharge. The home is also a short walk from the dog park and Riverbend Hot Springs (definitely do a starlight soak!). Thank you for allowing us to stay in this magical place!
Sara April 22
This listing is amazing. It was very convenient for our road trip. The home is clean and the art is so impressive. Make sure to take a soak in the tub outside!
Martie January 22
By far the coolest site I’ve ever stayed in. Being so close to riverbend hot springs was a treat. Don’t miss out on this spot!
Tara January 22
To stay in a private art gallery!! What a treat. So much to discover. Prolific art and artist. Wonderful interior design! Great yard! One could have a party of 60 and have plenty of space still....This writer underexplored the whole Castle....saw something different; experienced something different in that space everyday. Can't wait to come back or visit your other sites in California!
Wish that I had any of your talents or imagination. Thanks for letting me immerse myself in yours!!
Cindy January 22
What a marvelous place!! Checkin and communications were excellent. It was so nice for our dogs to have a fenced area to run around. The artwork was fabulous and certainly gave us hours of enjoyment. We had everything we needed and despite practically being an art gallery, it was very comfortable. We very highly recommend The Space Castle!
Brook Jan 22
This place is great! Location is a walk from downtown. Plenty of space. It was a very comfortable stay. The art is amazing! One of a kind home.

What a magical spot. Like staying in a psychedelic art gallery. Walking distance to everything in town. Great communication, got the tour when we arrived, then left on our own. We loved our time there.
