Perfect in between to camping or full lodging!!

We had a wonderful stay! The pictures made it look a little bigger than it actually was, but it ended up being the perfect alternative to us camping. Everyone in our group, ranging from ages 9 to 40, absolutely loved how quaint and cozy it was. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable getaway. We would definitely stay again!

Great weekend getaway! Would recommend.

This ‘tiny cabin’ was beautiful, private, and more than accommodating. Very clean and well designed/ decorated to make it seem more spacious. The owners definitely have an eye for detail. Perfect location with a view and lots of hiking trails nearby. We had a great stay!

Thank you Hannah so much. Thanks for taking care of the cabin and we hope you come back! You are right about the views and being close to trails and it is awesome that you noticed the time and details we put in trying to make a affordable comfortable private place but close to amenities and nature. We enjoy letting people see the beauty of the farm and the Buffalo river area. Sincerely, Clark Shaver

Great Place!

This tiny home was exactly what we were looking for! It was secluded but close enough for the trails and the river. We ate every meal at the tiny home the kitchen was well stocked. We loved the fire pit and was able to see every star! It was an amazing trip and we will definitely be back!
