The House
About this property
The Green Adobe tells one of Shafter’s quieter stories. While the town’s mines, saloon, church, and other historic buildings speak to the work and industry that defined Shafter, this small adobe home offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of the families and workers who called the town home.
Believed to have been built before 1920, The Green Adobe is a contributing structure within the Shafter Historic Mining District and appears in historic photographs as part of the town’s residential landscape. Its adobe walls, simple form, shed roof, exposed rafter tails, and preserved openings reflect the modest homes that once filled the community.
Today, the house has been thoughtfully restored as part of Shafter’s revival, preserving its historic character while creating a private place to stay. Inside, guests will find one bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom, and a refrigerator for basic food storage. Outside, a shaded patio with a traditional thatch roof provides a peaceful place to take in the surrounding landscape and mountain views.
What to expect
The Green Adobe is a private and intentionally simple historic stay, designed for guests who value character, quiet, and a sense of place. The house does not include a full kitchen, television, Wi-Fi, or laundry facilities, allowing the focus to remain on the experience of being in Shafter and its remote West Texas landscape. Best suited for couples or solo travelers, it offers a unique opportunity to stay within the historic townsite and experience a piece of Shafter’s residential history firsthand.
