Founded in 2018, the St Pete Micro Farm (SPMF) is an ambitious project located in Saint Petersburg Florida. Resting on just 1/10th of an acre, this 1957 mid-century modern home hosts over 80 different species of fruiting tree and shrub. With the goal of blending natural beauty and innovative design, it's an ever-evolving space that is both inviting and surprising. During your stay, we invite you to enjoy an open-air yet tastefully private outdoor shower, or relax back into the big enough for two garden tub. A large outdoor kitchen area with a gas burner will also be available for your use. On chillier evenings, you can toast marshmallows by the fire pit, or just star gaze and let time trickle by. During the day, you'll be free to get online and catch up with the work world, or walk the garden and discover one of the many hideaways scattered around the property. You never know what will be in season, but with the guidance of one of your hosts, you can try a variety of fruits, greens, and berries if they're ready for harvest. A rich variety of wild birds visit regularly, recognizing it as a safe haven for wildlife. And though we can't guarantee you'll see a rare one, we can guarantee you'll see CHICKENS! Six of them in fact, Salty, Sleepy, Jet, Little Comb, Tapatio, and Dutchess. These friendly, curious, and fearless little marauders are guaranteed to make your acquaintance, and if you're not looking, invite themselves to share your breakfast. They free roam the yard during daylight hours, so please help us keep all gates shut to prevent them from going on an unscheduled field trip. They will also leave "landmines" on the pathways, so be sure to watch your step. We do our best to keep everything clean and tidy, but chickens abhor tidiness. And will go out of their way to unleash chaos at every turn. Still, we love the little bird brains and they are an entertaining addition to the grounds. They're also the reason we ask that all pets, and children under 12, be left at home. We thank you for your understanding and help in preserving the safety of our flock, and as thanks, please help yourself to any fresh eggs in the chicken coop. This is only a brief description, there's so much more to see on-site, but you'll also want to make your way out into the city (15 minute drive) for some of the unique flair St Pete is known for. Check out the Salvadore Dali museum and see his famous surrealist paintings. Visit some of the best beaches in the country, like St Pete Beach (15 minutes drive due West). Wander the Fort Desoto historical park area. Or Stop by the Morean Arts Center and see live glass blowing demonstrations, or just walk along Central Ave to soak up the cool vibe and rich city art scene. Complete with murals, sculptures, and a pier scene that's not to be missed.The Residency at St. Pete Micro Farm is a private, detached tiny room tucked into a one-of-a-kind urban food forest in St. Petersburg, Florida. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable full-size bed, Smart TV, mini-split A/C, refrigerator, microwave, and your own private toilet and sink. Your primary shower is an enclosed outdoor shower, with an optional two-person garden tub available for a relaxing soak. Step outside and you’re surrounded by the gardens, fruit trees, chickens, and the ever-changing activity of the Micro Farm. Guests are welcome to enjoy the shared outdoor spaces, including the outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and garden areas. This isn’t a traditional hotel or resort. It’s a small, creative, living property designed to give you a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience something a little different. Come stay at The Residency—and see what happens when a little piece of St. Petersburg is turned into an urban food forest.

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    The St. Pete Micro Farm is a peaceful oasis that brings tranquility to an urban setting. Reviewers loved the cozy and well-designed tiny house, which offered comfort without feeling cramped. The presence of chickens and a variety of exotic plants added to the charm, making each day a new discovery. The hosts' hospitality and thoughtful touches made visitors feel right at home, and the proximity to downtown St. Pete ensured easy access to local attractions.

    My stay at the St. Pete Micro Farm residence was peaceful, relaxing, and I will definitely be booking this place again! The hosts were responsive, helpful, and it was so obvious how much love and care they put into the tiny house; it was extremely clean, well-stocked with the necessary overnight goodies, and smelled very fresh. Their garden was beautiful and offered more tranquility than I could have ever expected to experience in an urban setting. Every night I fell asleep to the soft sounds of locusts and birds, and awoke to the rustling leaves as they moved in the warm breeze. I left the micro-farm feeling so rejuvenated, I will be visiting St. Pete again just to stay here!!

    Everything I hoped for in a micro-farm stay—and more! The tiny house is incredibly well laid out and had everything I needed. It feels cozy and thoughtfully designed without feeling cramped at all. I had such a good night’s sleep in the super cozy bed! The property itself is beautiful and clearly has so much thought and care put into it. I especially loved learning about the micro farm and watching the chickens—it’s such a peaceful little oasis. The location is also the perfect balance: tucked into a quiet neighborhood close to parks and walking trails, but only about 10 minutes from downtown St. Pete. You get the feeling of being surrounded by nature while still having easy access to everything in town. I would absolutely stay again!
