Welcome to our charming earthbound retreat nestled in the foothills of Virginia’s mountains! Before booking, please carefully review the full house description and rules. By confirming your reservation, you acknowledge and accept the property and its features as they are. Please note, our solar panels may sometimes be unreliable, especially with high energy usage. The backup generator is there for that reason, and we do not offer discounts if it is needed during your stay. 🌿 Nature immersion Located in a peaceful rural setting, our house offers a truly immersive experience in nature. Enjoy the rustic charm of the handcrafted round door, but be mindful that bugs may enter more easily due to the design. 🌞 Off‑grid living We want your stay to be enjoyable and memorable, so please come prepared for a natural, off‑grid experience. Refunds will not be provided if the generator needs to be used. 🏡 Unique design Step into an enchanting world of imagination with a stay in our cozy house, featured on Building Off the Grid (Season 13, Episode 3: Virginia Underground Home). The tiny house includes a Murphy desk hideaway bed (queen size), a dining nook, and a charming bathroom with a large copper soaking tub. Our dining area is a cozy, minimalist space designed for simple meals. We do not have a mini‑refrigerator at this time, so please bring a cooler if needed. While we do provide a stovetop, please note that it may occasionally cause slight fluctuations in the electricity. We recommend treating this as a camping‑style experience by bringing non‑perishable items or exploring the delicious takeout options available in nearby Scottsville. Every corner is filled with whimsical touches. 🌎 Eco‑friendly escape Completely off the grid, our eco‑friendly home runs on solar power and a well septic system. We encourage guests to disconnect from the outside world—there’s no TV or Wi‑Fi—so you can fully embrace the natural surroundings. The property spans nearly 24 acres, with some hiking trails started and future plans for gardens and archery targets. ⛺ Extra options If you are interested in a stay at the underground home but have a larger family or group of friends, we are permitted to allow tent camping, including dry campers, on the property as well.

It gives me much satisfaction in working to clean up this land. I appreciate your support by staying here, and I look forward to the opportunity to offer memories that can be remembered with fondness. While staying here, you may use my bathroom in my house if you need. I recommend bringing all the things you would bring if you were camping in the woods far from society. However, I do have a tent for two, including mattress pads and sleeping bags you may use. Otherwise, this is a relatively primative site (for now 😉).
