About this property
Country Quaint near Mississinewa Lake
This home is nestled in a quaint valley where the deer and squirrels visit often. Enjoy time to unwind, or make a short trip into town to enjoy local shops, eateries, or even the Circus! Located 10 minutes from Mississinewa reservoir, conveniently located off of 31, and plenty of room in the drive for a boat or trailer. Kick back on the deck, enjoy the stars, and spend a little time soaking in well earned relaxation. Be sure to check the guidebook for local favorites and recommendations!
This little home sits in a one acre valley just off of one of the main roads into Peru. While the road is not a highway, it does have more traffic than your typical back country road. The heaviest traffic flows will be around drop off and pick up times for the nearby school. There are a few houses in the area, but far enough away to still enjoy the privacy that comes with getting out of town.
We have a circle drive with plenty of parking space, making it a great spot if you are pulling a trailer, boat, or large vehicle. We are only 10 minutes from Mississinewa Lake, Bunker Hill Drag-strip, and Rock Hollow Golf Course.
The house is newly built, with an open concept. It has one bedroom and one bath room. There is no additional sleeping space outside of the queen bed in the bedroom.
The entire unit is available for the guests enjoyment. There is one locked storage closet that guests will not have access too unless guest is staying 7 nights or more.
There is a washer and dryer available for guest access located in the small shed on the property. Please let us know if you plan on using the laundry machines during your stay so we can be sure we have needed supplies available. Please do not leave laundry unattended for long periods of time, as other guests or housekeeping may need to use the machines.
There will always be someone available in close vicinity to the home in case of any issues. We do our best to respond to any questions quickly and encourage communication from our guest. If there should be an emergency or an unmet need through the night, it is best to call instead of message/text.
Peru is a friendly town and you’re likely to find yourself in conversation with the locals. We have a low crime rate in our area, and people are generally friendly and inviting. There are many unique and quaint shops on the main strips (Broadway and Main Streets) of town. A short drive to Converse is always a good option if you want to explore.
Traffic is usually light in Peru as compared to large cities. Most local businesses have a parking lot or street parking. There are no parking meters or paid parking in Peru, though some areas have time restrictions especially around the courthouse. Most of the time you can park on the street within a block of your destination. There is no public transportation so please plan accordingly.
There is an additional rental home on the property. The drive way and yard are open to guests in either home, but all indoor and patio spaces are private for each guest.
The light up buttons on the mirror display above the sink do turn off if you find the lights to be too bright. Just press and hold the power button for a couple of seconds until they shut off. Each time the mirror lights are used the button lights will have to be turned off again.
Forgot something? We may have you covered! We do our best to keep some personal hygene essentials stocked in case you forgot to pack something. In the bathroom vanity you can find some spare items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup wipes, deoderant etc. We ask that you not intentionally rely on these amenities so that we can continue to provide them to guest in case a need arrises.
Fire wood on site for your enjoyment!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Heather Sites

Hello, we are Kayla and Heather, and we are delighted to share our tiny home with you. In 2023 we began the adventure of turning a dream of hosting into a reality. We affectionately call this family owned property Opossum Hollow in honor of grandma, where the name originated. Though the property is abundant in wildlife, we have yet to actually see a opossum. We have truly enjoyed the process of becoming hosts, and our hope is that you will feel like one of the family as you cross the threshold of our home.
Why they chose this property
This property is repeatedly described as peaceful. Sitting on just over an acre it is common to enjoy the company of deer, rabbits, squirrels, birds, and the occasional raccoon. A serene little valley is where you will find this home. Located only 5 minutes from Peru, you can enjoy a country setting with all the perks of town living just around the bend.
What makes this property unique
Not only is the home unique in its size and origin, it was thoughtfully designed with you in mind. With cool tones and a calming interior we think you’ll find yourself at peace both inside and out. We have worked hard to provide a place where you can genuinely feel at home while away. We aim to provide all the right little touches so you can simply relax and enjoy.
