About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Unique art house just 1 block off the town square!

This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit to Huntsville.

Designed and built by world renowned artist, builder and ecologist Dan Phillips, this unique property was built to include recycled materials such as bottle caps for ceiling designs, broken mirror shards to form mosaic bathroom walls and thousands of decommissioned Texas license plates used as roofing shingles.

A rare opportunity to stay in a lovely, cozy and fun, one-of-a-kind home that you wont soon forget! And, right in the heart of Huntsville, just steps away from the town square!

Joseph has created a unique, comfortable and welcoming environment for travelers. We stayed three days and each day we discovered something that reminded us of our childhood, a family member or an experience while younger. We appreciated how fully, and I mean fully, stocked the home was compared to so many other places that strip the kitchen clean every time guests leave. Forget a spice - they have it. Forget aluminum foil - they have it. Forget coffee - no worries. Each bathroom had available new travel size toiletries someone inevitably forgets. It was a two-block walk to the square and the back yard served us well. Our only regret is we didn't find this place four years earlier when our son started at SHSU - we were there now for graduation - as we would have traded every prior hotel stay for this home.
