Fun and unique stay
Perfect for an overnight or two stay or longer. Hosts very welcoming. It's how I picture tiny house living. Unique, clean and charming. Well stocked for anything you could possibly use or need with several refrigerated treats

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
