LivArt:
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

The entire area with hundreds of acres is available for hiking, mountain biking, jogging or doing yoga on the front porch, surrounded by the beauty of the desert.

Jacumba Hot Springs is a natural Power Spot. Vision quests have been conducted on our Grounds since the Pyramid builders time coming from the Valley of Mexico into the mystic mountains of Jacumba. The land holds many stones markers indicating ceremonial activities. To hike this land with the intention of receiving information to help in your day to day life is the purpose we have for intending this space to remain a "Dreamscape" landscape.

We have preserved hundreds of acres for this purpose. We have built permanent perceptual sculptures like the White Sky Pyramid to enhance a traveler's "Seeing" and creativity. In addition, various mazes, rock circles and other smaller tributes have been placed on the land by other seekers.

This place is really cool! Such a neat place to stay with incredible art work and decor! The property, the hot spring, the lake, the town/area are all great! This was our second time staying in Jacumba and we can't wait to come back again.

Jacob May 22
I have stayed at the main house on this property many many times. This was my first experience staying down at the warehouse. We had a great time and found the place to be cozy. I also loved getting to see all new art. Very comfortable, looks just like the pictures. Will be booking again.

Joe April 22
Wonderful, spacious and beautiful property and house for a peaceful getaway.
Communication was excellent as was check in and out.
I would highly recommend if you are looking for rest, relaxation and just getting away.
Definitely make sure to bring enough food and liquids for your trip as there was only a small store in town which we already knew and were prepared for.

Stephen April 22
A wonderful stay in a very unique place. It will be a stay that stays with you. If you're looking for a desert hippie getaway, there really is no better place, and being able to contrast the freedom of that spot with the US/Mexican border wall within viewing distance was a profound juxtaposition. I plan to bring my loved ones next time I stay here.

Best spot and the best hosts. Magical property.

Rainey March 22
This spot is truly a gem and the hosts were excellent! The soaking tub is shared with one other house on the property, but it still felt very private. The history of this town and the railroad is fascinating and it was extra special to be able to stay in one of the original buildings. I often work in the area and plan to stay here whenever I am in the area again. It felt very safe, peaceful, and welcoming. Not to mention the hiking in the area is phenomenal.

Thank you Q and Twila. We had a wonderful time at your spot. The place seems like this huge warehouse yet very warm and welcoming. We went on hikes on the property and walked around and thoroughly enjoyed the trains and beauty of the desert. We will definitely be returning soon!!

We had a blast exploring Jacumba with our dog! Now we're sad to be back in the city. Next vacation hopefully coming soon.
Internet was just fast enough to stream movies for those rainy days. It was amazing double taking both inside and outside when we noticed artistic work or details we didn't notice before. Good amount of easy hiking options.
Robert was really nice, and Q & Twilia were incredibly responsive and sweet.
