This amazing tiny house is on a beautiful piece of property. It's so peaceful! I also became best friends with the friendliest cat I've ever met. I will definitely be returning just for more cuddles with the kitty by the fire pit 😻

I loved my stay here. The land is natural but fairly level, you can park any type of rig however you want or spread out some tents with space. The access is easy, and you don't need to do any backing in. The area is great, you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere at times but just around the corner are so many attractions and places to eat and drink. We planned like 11 days here but stayed around 5 more. Had we not had something back home to take care of we would have actually stayed longer. Joseph is a helpful host and gave us good info. We never met but I spoke to him on the phone very friendly. We liked iot so much we bought a piece of land across the dirt road from it and are doing our winters down here in the future. I don''t have a bad word to say about this place. Had a great time there.

This place was more than perfect! A great location for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin had everything I needed, the bed was super comfy, and the bonfire was wonderful way to end the night. In the morning the nature surrounding the cabin was serene, perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee.
