This is a magical stay that we're certain you'll love! THE SPACE Here's your chance to experience tiny house living with the bonus of having your very own barnyard animals! Meet our fuzzy alpaca, a red-haired pig, miniature goats, and a pair of parading turkeys that call the ranch home. When entering the space, you will instantly notice the attention to detail, soft comfortable linens, and a whimsical vibe allowing you to unwind naturally. This 240-square-foot tiny house has everything you'll need in addition to complimentary coffee and hot tea. It is also one of the rare tiny houses with first-floor sleeping so you won't need to climb any ladders making it easily accessible for everyone. The Garden Hideaway is tucked away on our peaceful ranch just minutes from north Ocean City, MD and Delaware beaches so bring your beach towel!

Relax in a comfy chair, pull up your desk, and get things done with reliable internet. FULL BATHROOM INCLUDES This full bathroom is well thought out and proudly eco-friendly with a “sink positive” type sink for hand washing. Also known as a Japanese sink, these sinks are popular in Asia for their ability to use fresh clean water for hand washing and then recycle into the toilet. Water is used twice; space is saved and this method of water usage is super green for the earth. We think it’s genius, but make sure you like it too! The dual-functioning bathtub/ shower is the perfect size for younger children to enjoy a bubble bath and adults can enjoy the shower. BARNYARD ANIMALS Bring the baby carrots, strawberries and green beans if you want animal best friends!

This was one of my favorite hipcamps! While yes the site is close to the house, it still feels secluded with lots of tree cover. Be prepared for sand! There's a dog that runs around but she is very friendly and got along great with my dog. Bathroom is in a camper, and there's even a shower. This place is a gem for sure!

Weekend Trip to Emily's place
Our trio had such a good time at Emily’s place. The site is as pictured / described and Ron is extremely friendly and helpful. The site is caddy-corner to their home, but very cozy and private with a privacy fence on one side and an open field on the other. The site is very well-appointed with lots of chairs, BBQ implements, fire circle, plenty of shady trees, and a variety of tables. The camper offered a sink, toilet, and shower, which basically made this glamping for us! Luxurious. While the site is close to many beach activities, we decided to hang out, enjoy the breeze and sun, and read / cook food / etc. The provided parking spot is located alongside Ron’s projects and yard (he restores campers, among other things), but absolutely none of this was in the way whatsoever and in fact we could not even see it once in the site. We would definitely come back to this campsite and think you too will enjoy Ron and Little Girl (the doggie).
