Istel is the founder of Felicity and the town’s longtime mayor, having been elected, almost 30 years ago, to an apparent lifetime term. The vote was unanimous: Istel voted for himself and so did Felicity’s other resident, Istel’s wife, Felicia. The town, established in 1986, consists of the Istels’ home and a half-dozen other buildings that the couple built on 2,600 acres in the middle of the desert near Yuma, Ariz., just off Interstate 8. At the north end, up an imposing staircase, sits the Church on the Hill at Felicity — inspired by a little white chapel in Brittany — that Istel built in 2007. The church is gorgeous and serene and looks eerily out of place, though less out of place than the 21-foot-tall stone-and-glass pyramid on the opposite end of town. The pyramid is there to mark the exact center of the world.

"Nice and friendly. Felt like I was back in the '50s"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Yuma Pivot Point

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a great stay. Breakfast provided was decent quality and every member of the family found something to enjoy each day, from cereal, oatmeal, bacon, make your own waffles, make your own breakfast sandwich. Was nice selection for being included. Pool was nice. We had to ask for towels, cause none were provided poolside. But we were accommodated immediately. My only concern was that we went swimming when it was dark and the pool light was not working. And the out door light was lacking. The room we stayed in was big enough for our family of 4 the kitchen was nicely stocked. The full fridge/freezer was a nice bonus."
