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)
*** PRIOR Sites REVIEWS:
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
Shayna June 22 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.
Nancy May 22 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.
Eric Dec 21 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.

Artsy oasis/perfect location! We loved our stay here and will definitely be back. Very close to Elephant Butte and downtown. First off, the home is just…WOW! Unique and filled with lovely art everywhere, meditation room, and fenced in private backyard. Misty was super friendly and made check-in a breeze. If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing stay in TorC, look no further, 10/10 recommend!

Great place to creatively focus and go deep.
Stayed for a week and recorded tracks for our next Finegan Finch album. We had a completely inspiring time and came up with some wild music. What a great place to focus and go deep into the creativity. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating such a unique, inspiring place for us to explore and soar. Also great town and mineral hot springs. A+

Interesting art and great location!
An artistic and comfortable home at the edge of town. The home is filled with the colorful and interesting paintings and carvings of one artist. Walk to galleries and shops. Well-equipped kitchen and comfortable king bed. Some street noise from passing vehicles but quiet at night.

We had a great stay at Space Castle, which is very aptly named. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay We spent most of our time relaxing in the mid-century modern family room, or in the back patio area, though there are many spaces to enjoy.. Outside, a lovely riverside park with a farmer's market, close to favorite hot springs and town center. The location was ideal. However, the factor that really sets Space Castle apart is the incredible collection of shamanic art work created by artist/owner JQ - there are many powerful pieces in this home and each is a potential visionquest. It was difficult to decide if my favorites were the canvases or the woodcarvings. Communication with the hosts was clear and check-in was simple. I'd stay again.

Fun and Interesting
While we did not spend a great deal of time inside because we were always out and about the town, our downtime inside was fun, relaxing and comfortable. We enjoyed going from room to room and discovering new pieces of art all around including the interesting furniture and decorations. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure was great and hot water was just right. Mitzi was very nice and friendly and told us about some fun things we might try around town. It was very clean, had an ample towel supply and everything you would need if you needed to cook in the kitchen. Totally recommend- not your regular run of mill hotel stay - so much more fun!!!

Exceded our expectations in every way.
I spent hours searching for the ideal VRBO for our semi annual weekend getaway with friends. My Grandfather was an artist that filled our homes with art, so I appreciated the immersiveness of the property. We all noted how much bigger it felt inside and how stepping outside again immediately felt different. The backyard was also big and private. Soaking in the tub was magical too. We also all loved lying down and looking up at the tumbleweed. The town was lovely, steps away and it being an art walk Saturday, so much fun. This town is special, not only because of the healing water, but mainly because the people here are so friendly and inviting. We plan on coming back again. Thank you!

An Exceptional Experience
It was our privilege to live in this remarkable house for a month, surrounded by outstanding art. The house is comfortable with every amenity, but so much more. If we stayed many months we wouldn’t have had time to observe and appreciate the bold, unique paintings, carvings, etc. the owners have made and filled this elegantly made-over service station with. The house is close to all the mineral baths, restaurants, shops and galleries T or C has to offer. The kitchen was good for cooking holiday dinners. The fenced backyard is private and another artsy place to hang out.
Much of the furniture is retro. Fun and attractive but functional. Although nights were cold, we were warm inside. And how often do you find a meditation room ready for you inside a vacation rental?
Many thanks to the owners for, first, creating this unbelievably exciting abode and, secondly, for allowing visitors to dwell within their marvelous world.

The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, let us in and gave us a tour of the house. (You will want it!) The three of us were blown away by the art and how it was incorporated into every aspect of the house. It was absolutely alive. We loved the well appointed kitchen!! My friend used the backyard tub and we enjoyed sitting in the warm sun. There were games and cards and we had so much fun. The house was warm and comfortable. I highly recommend it.
