We had a great time here. Beautiful land and cozy cabin. Very comfortable and great kitchen set up with induction stove and convection countertop oven. Everything was very clean and well stocked with everything from board games to laundry soap. The hosts John and Ginny are nice and welcoming. We will definitely come back when we can stay longer.

Very quiet, even being located just off a road. Outdoor shower was a welcome experience after a long day on the road. I made a small fire with the supplies thoughtfully provided. The lounge with coffee maker and microwave was a nice touch.

Weekend Trip to Biker’s Haven: Cozy Tiny Home
Overall, it is a wonderful spot! Has everything you need for a great weekend away. We did have a few details we wish we knew beforehand that wasn’t provided in the description. I wouldn’t still highly recommend the spot despite the missing information, which I’m sure will be updated.
It says secluded but it’s about 10 feet from their house and the neighbors. It didn’t affect our stay but I wouldn’t really call it secluded. When I think of the word secluded I think that it is a very large lot and the stay space is far away from the house and not able to be seen just by looking out the back window. In addition, we did not know they had a dog they would be letting out 10 feet from our stay with no warning. Since it says off leash, that would be really good information to have when bringing a dog of our own. While our dogs are friendly, suddenly having another dog run up into the space was quite a shock and could have caused issues.
It has since been updated, but originally the listing said “pets allowed” and when we arrived with 2 dogs they informed us they only allow one and would have to charge us for the extra dog.
All of that being said, it is still a beautiful place and would stay again, just wish we had that additional information beforehand.
