“Perfect off grid stay❤️”
What an amazing property, in an amazing location with wonderful hosts. Would definitely recommend !! We managed to completely detach from devices, with views of the mountains in this cosy well equipped container - glamping space. Thank you Federico & Rebecca

Wow!!! staying here was the highlight of our trip in Patagonia. It was so magical to be off the grid for a few days. The view of the mountain, the location, the little touches making the place feel like home: everything was perfect. Federico was an amazing host who welcomed us warmly and promptly. We also had great access to the Fitz Roy hike which meant our route was far less busy than the one from town. We couldn’t recommend Cerro Electrico more!

“Gorgeous views from a cosy cabin”
I loved this tiny house! The views from our window/deck were some of the best we had in El Chalten, and the cabin was really comfortable and well thought out, with everything we needed. Rebecca was lovely and so helpful. This was a perfect peaceful retreat to enjoy El Chalten from!

“Beautiful eco friendly tiny houses with fantastic views of Mt Fitzroy.”
We absolutely loved staying at Cerro Electrico. The tiny houses have everything you need plus some thoughtful extras like oil, herbs and spices, pasta and rice. It was lovely to come back to our warm, cosy little house after a long day hiking. Frederico and Rebecca were very helpful with information on the local area. If you want to get away from it all, just 15km from El Chalten, this is the spot!

“Place you can’t miss!”
This was the best stay of our vacation! Place is very cosy and it has everything you need - hot shower, gas stove, heating, and even the small “necessities” like coffee and tea, board games, books and maps of the area. Federico welcomed us with perfect English and handful tips for hikes. The view from the bed is stunning from sunrise to sunset and it’s a perfect location for stargazing.

I recognize I am the only one writing a terribly poor review for this place, which I have never done on booking.com before, but this is just my honest experience. 1. The first thing that surprised and upset my partner and I was the compostable toilet. No where in the listing does it say that it’s a compostable toilet. I get that it’s “green” and I would be ok if the tiny home was truly a green home but it’s not, and that brings me to my second point… 2. We felt that the hosts were greenwashing - they had cut corners and chosen cheap alternatives in the name of “eco-friendliness”. However, the home really was not green at all. Just to name some examples: Poor insulation with open vents and window gaps, teflon pots and pans that were all scratched up, polyester bedding etc. I’ll expand on the first 2 points. 3. Insulation was poor which meant it was super cold at night so we couldn’t sleep well. If we had used the heating system, it would not have been energy efficient given all the gaps in the windows, vents etc. On the flip side, it was crazy hot in the day because the space gets the afternoon sun but it’s not possible to open the windows and doors unless you want to have dozens of flies and insects in the living and sleeping space. No cooling or heating provided, at least in summer. I get it - electricity is powered by solar but then there needs to be alternative eco heating and cooling instead of allowing guests to burn up in the day and shiver at night 4. The scratched up and peeling Teflon cookware is not only covered in material harmful to our environment but to our health. The home is so far from the town so cooking was our only option and we had no choice but to cook on and ingest toxic chemicals 5. The place is really far from town, further than you think in terms of travel time. Of course we knew the distance from town when we booked, but what we didn’t know was the condition of the road to and from town.

“Perfect location inside the mountain with beautiful view”
The tiny house was a perfect get away from busy cities and emerge oneself totally with the nature. The view from outside wood terrace as well as big window from inside the room was just perfect! I enjoyed the sunrise from the bed. Also multiple trekking trails are just nearby which were really convenient. The sustainable lifestyle such as organic soap, dry composting toilet makes the stay even better. Federico and Rebecca were so friendly and helpful. I spent 3 nights there and didn't get enough at all. Next time I would love to stay for weeks

“Where else can you watch the sunrise and sunset on Fitz Roy from the comfort of your bed ? 😍”
Awesome tiny house with direct view on Fitz Roy! Watching the Mount illuminated by the stars at night is unforgettable. The bed is small but so comfortable, the kitchenette is nice and functional with enough utensils for your needs, nice little bathroom with hot water to relax the body after long hikes. Hosts are super nice and helpful, and we even had their small hairball visit us in the morning. You can even hike up to Laguna de los tres from your cabin on a way less busy path!

Perfect Place. Very cozy and well equipped Tiny House - we missed nothing. Heater and warm Water made it very easy to stay here. Rebecca was very nice and helpful and gave us very good advices for example for a Taxi from El Chalten to the Tiny House. So we started our hike to Laguna de los Tres at the Tiny House and finished in El Chalten, had a nice Dinner and took the Taxi back to Tiny House - perfect day!

“Cosy cabin with unmatched views of fitzroy and the national park.”
Absolutely loved our stay in this cosy little cottage with incredible views of Fitzroy and the National park. It snowed quite a lot while we were there, and it was perfect being curled up with a book and endless tea watching the snow fall outside.
