46mi from Elko New Market · 1 siteWelcome to the Hattie Shack! My husband, Wayne, built it when our young daughter wanted to have sleepovers. It’s now a peaceful and idyllic slice of heaven for your personal retreat. Writers, artists, musicians, sojourners, and outdoor lovers are all welcome to enjoy this creative and colorful glamping experience.
Our elevated shack is perfect for a one-person getaway, with views of fields, woods, and gardens. It’s just a short walk from your personal parking spot, with mowed paths and trails to explore in the woods. The space is accessible year-round—there’s AC for the warm months and heat for the colder seasons.
Amenities include an outhouse, a BBQ grill with charcoal, a table, and a fire pit with firewood provided. A hammock and outdoor gear are also available upon request. Our friendly dogs, Wally and Sunny, will likely greet you—they roam freely. If you bring a pet, we ask that it remain leashed, as we have chickens on the property.
We’re a short drive from Class 1 trout streams, including the Kinnickinnic and Rush River. If you prefer to stay on the farm, the shack features a writing desk and an outdoor porch table—perfect for when inspiration strikes.
There is no Wi-Fi, but there is an AT&T tower nearby for data connection. Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint users may have limited service. A small fridge, French press, hot plate, fresh water, and basic utensils are provided.
We even move the bed position in the shack based on the season!
Peony Power Farm is my new business, where I am in the process of planting and cultivating peonies for the cut flower market. The plants take 3–4 years to mature for cutting, but once in bloom, the Hattie Shack will offer a beautiful view of the peony fields.
