Voted Coziest Bed on Our Road Trip!
We were moving a car packed to the gills with belongings from Seattle, WA to the Space Coast, FL. We opted out of typical hotel accommodations for our 7-night road trip deciding to try for more fresh air, dark night skies, and the refreshment of being in country settings during our long trek.
We arrived much, much later than we would have hoped, but Katie and her daughter were as sweet and accommodating as could be, showing us everything we needed to know to be able to make ourselves to home. And what a sweet little home this is. We had lovely cool, clear air and were able to sleep with the windows open and cozy up in the super comfortable bed with the best blanket combination! SUCH great sleep.
We are used to a short walk to separate comfort station facilities and these facilities are SO WELL DONE. It's the equivalent of inside convenience with running sink water, some counter space, a mirror, and the composting toilet (which is actually quite easy to use) on one side and a shower with a small bench changing area with a curtained shower with instant hot water on the other side. There is NOTHING like showering and listening to the chickens and the roosters!
We enjoyed the front porch with an evening beverage as their resident cat gave us some love and a hot morning beverage while the roosters came to check us out. It was lovely to wake up to the views and to have gone to bed after star gazing.
It would have been lovely to stay longer. We would definitely visit again.

This was a wonderful place to stay. A true hidden gem; with a beautiful sunset, clean, safe, and welcoming! I could not have asked for a better host.

Bougie farm stay!
We needed an affordable, comfy option near Sioux Falls as we moved our oldest back to college. Chris and Katie's cottage and farm provided much needed respite and relaxation before the big move in day. We arrived later than we would have liked, 7:30pm. However, the family was so welcoming and showed us everything we needed to know about our stay. The log cabin reminded us of something from the pioneer days, small, quaint but on a bougie level with decor and special touches throughout. We were not bothered by the unattached restroom as it was a short walk down the gravel drive and so nice. The composting toilet and sink space were super clean and the outdoor shower was glorious! The beds were so comfortable and our teens enjoyed the loft space and a little privacy. We enjoyed a little bonfire and visit with the family before bed and we're sad we didn't have a little more time to enjoy the farm. We will definately be back and are so grateful for the excellent experience.

Best short stay yet..! The small farm and orchard setting is superb with surprising amenities.
The outside ‘shower house’ was off the charts & fully-stocked with essentials. I will stay here when returning from the west coast and definitely recommend.
