About this property

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

The Artists Cottage ~ Fun desert getaway

Private little Studio Casita within walking distance to Ajo's central plaza, or just minutes in the opposite direction to the local desert walking/biking/driving trail. The Casita makes a nice base for exploring the desert surrounding Ajo including places like Organ Pipe Nat'l Monument, Quitobaquito, or day trips into Mexico. Or, just sit back, enjoy the quiet and our dark sky community.

Charlene and Glen have created a very comfortable stay and included every possible amenity you could think of or need. The binder of information included local history and culture, dining options in local businesses. The artist cottage is truly by an artist and included some supplies to draw our paint for guest.. Her artwork display their is in a league of its own.

Colorful cottage in sunny Ajo

The cottage is small but cozy and well-appointed. Glen and Charlene were friendly and helpful. It is a good place to stay with a wonderful view of the mountains and sky. Comfortable beds and thoughtfully equipped with microwave fridge coffee maker and coffee, grill and nice outside spaces.

Inspirational Ajo!

Quaint, cozy and creative place to spend your time in Ajo. Owners take great pride in their property and it shows, with a personal quirkiness that makes your stay memorable. Charleen’s excellent artwork adorning the walls just adds to the expression.Thanks for hosting!

Explore Ajo

The cabin is very cute and has everything for a comfortable stay. Glen is a very nice man and we enjoyed visiting with him and seeing all the work he put into his property. Location is perfect for grocery and restaurant.

Nice Place

The place was clean and very well decorated (one of the owners is an artist). It's also within walking distance of Circle K which is open 24 hours (and given that I didn't arrive until 1:00 AM I found this quite handy). If I am ever in Ajo again I would choose to stay here.

Red and White weekend

the property was wonderful, very clean, colorful and inviting. The hosts have thought of everything to make our stay stress free and very pleasant. Ample supplies and extras that just say welcome. The check in was easy and the host came over to say hello and welcome us to the cottage. He came over and asked if we wanted a fire in the fire pit. Made for a very relaxing evening enjoying the beautiful night sky. Looking forward to our next stay at this beautiful property.

Perfect

Attending our 50th class reunion was so much fun. And staying at The Artist's Cottage completed a great weekend. My sister and I were doing all the events planned, and having this little quiet, perfectly appointed cottage to relax, recharge and rest in was amazing. Charleen was so nice, thoughtful, and anticipated things guests would need, and provided goodies that were so appreciated. Will definitely stay again the next time we are in Ajo.

Great place, great hosts

The Artist’s Cottage is a lovely reflection of Charleen’s artistry and Glen’s construction skills. The small space is well equipped, efficiently organized, and enhanced by the presence of Charleen’s art on display. Everything necessary for a comfortable stay was provided and Glen was an amiable guide to the local area. When we experienced car trouble the day after our stay, Charleen and Glen went far above and beyond to assure us that, if we needed a place to stay, they’d hold the cottage for us. When we learned that we wouldn’t need to remain in Ajo, they assured us that we could call on them if we needed help on the road; they even contacted us early the next day to make sure we’d made it safely home!! Needless to say, we definitely recommend the Artist’s Cottage!

A Breath of Fresh Air

The Artists Cottage is a breath of fresh air. It’s small, but by no means is it cramped. It’s quint and homey, and gave off a down to earth/good time feel that was immediately felt. It has all the amenities one would need. Nothing was left out. This one room cottage is a gallery filled with eclectic art. Spending time with any of the Charleen’s pieces (and we did) is time well spent. It is a solitary place, set with a view of the mountains, where sunrise and sunset were appreciated; where moments of each night were reserved for viewing the night sky filled with stars. Our short residence at the cottage…this wonderful art gallery was truly a unique experience that will be remembered. For us, it was a moment in time to catch a memory, and we thank Glen and Charleen for providing it. Thanks a bunch! Laurie & Pete

Tolle Unterkunft- gespickt mit liebevollen Details und bunten Accessoires! Ein unglaublicher Sternenhimmel begleitet uns in die Nacht. Optimal ausgestattet für Selbstversorger (die örtlichen Essensangebote konnten nicht überzeugen). Der Organ Pipe Nationalpark liegt nahe und bietet die größte Diversität an Kakteen! Das Gastgeber Paar war äußerst nett. Herzlichen Dank für diese wunderbare Übernachtungsmöglichkeit!
