Lonely Planet review

Equal parts Mexican hacienda, Native American cliff dwelling and psychedelic sand castle, the 18-room Mystery Castle dodges traditional labels. Constructed in the 1930s and '40s by Boyce Luther Gulley, the bizarre art house is made of stone, recycled telegraph poles, adobe and whatever else he could scavenge, and held together by a mix of sand, cement, calcium and goat's milk.
