We moved to our 3 1/2 acre property in 2012 to escape town life and to enjoy a more simple family life. Nestled among the trees, our home is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy what God created - singing birds, fragrant flowers, colorful sunsets, gigantic ancient sycamores, and rushing creek waters. We're excited to share this beautiful area, especially the adorable shed and gardens we created for others to experience the peace of God. It's our hope that many will discover the tranquility we have come to appreciate here.

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    The Shed offers a peaceful retreat where guests can enjoy nature with modern comforts. Many appreciated the cozy atmosphere, friendly hosts, and the cute animals like cats and chickens. While most guests had overwhelmingly positive experiences, one noted that the outdoor bathroom wasn't ideal for them due to insects. Overall, it's a place where thoughtful details enhance the stay, making it a favored spot for relaxation and simple pleasures.

    It was okay

    Overall great experience and hosts were super nice. The outdoors bathroom/shower wasn’t for me too many insects flying around for me personally. But great back was provided at the local aquatic center nearby. Thank you

    Enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the entire stay. We stayed just one night, but the thoughtful touches were very much appreciated. We built a fire in the fire pit with help from Kurt as my Girl Scout days are long past. Heidi and their beautiful daughters were friendly and busy following a graduation party just the night before. The grounds are perfect in the sense of natural beauty that are tended to for enjoyment. We took advantage of the country road and walked towards town to see the covered bridge. We weren’t disappointed. Our evening after the fire was spent playing a friendly game of Battleship and I now have the title of beating my husband for the first time ever. Thankful for the time away and for Kurt and Heidi. Lovely hosts who followed a path that helps many in the perfect way. Oh and those chickens! The fresh eggs! Worth every single moment.

    The courtyard, as I call it, is the first area you see. It is very peaceful. The landscaping makes it feel very welcoming. The court yard is fully shaded so that was nice in the heat of the day. Wood was provided so we lit a small fire and roasted marshmallows. The Shed is also peaceful and cozy. And smelled fresh. The bed was very comfortable. The air-conditioning kept the Shed at a comfortable temp, day and night. We enjoyed the warm water of the outdoor shower. The robes, towels and wash clothes smelled fresh and were very soft. It was great having a microwave available for our use. We only stayed one night so we didn't really need the fridge and other cooking resources. But it's a great amenity as needed for longer stays. We highly recommend a stay at The Shed! Our friends may take a retreat here. And we will likely come again. Thank you Kurt and Heidi!
