Experience surprising comfort at the Butterfly House. Our 37acre property is bordered on the Southern property line by the Buffalo National River Park land, 2 miles from the river, & 8 miles from the Pruitt access point. This area is known for beautiful hiking, wildlife, & floating nearby. Branson is 55 minutes North if live entertainment, shopping, or a day in the city is your thing. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventures or peace & tranquility, the Butterfly House won’t disappoint. This 8’X40’ shipping container has been converted into a 320 square foot tiny home. The covered deck provides 400 square feet of additional outdoor living space and is a perfect place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest.

Our property currently has two converted shipping containers along the driveway, The Butterfly House and The Love Shack. This listing is for the Butterfly House and is perfect for one couple. If you need another container, check out our second listing.

You’ll have everything needed to prepare a proper meal. The large apron front sink, apartment size refrigerator with freezer, two burner hot plate, crockpot, and an airfryer/toaster oven combination make meal prep a breeze. The grill on the deck has a prep table, side burner, cookware, and grilling utensils. Feel free to use the complimentary spices and seasoning as needed.

The bathroom is anything but tiny with a full size shower/bath combination, toilet with bidet, live edge vanity with oversized vessel sink, toiletries, hair dryer, towels and wash cloths, as well as many commonly forgotten items.

With only 320 square feet of interior space, we committed most of the area to the necessities. Additionally, we included a small laundry room with a clothes rod for a few hanging items. Cleaning supplies are available as well as washing detergent to be used if you need to run a load of wash in our small capacity washer/dryer combination unit.

We saved just enough space for a 50” wall mounted smart TV and a small seating area with two chairs, although we anticipate most guests will prefer the views from the deck over the TV. It’s just dreamy out there.

This is Newton County. You may see deer, elk, turkeys, bobcats, snakes, or even a bear during your stay. Be mindful of nature, because you will be staying in the wilderness.

The shipping containers are treated for spiders and pests for your comfort. The best way to keep the outside out is to keep doors and windows closed. It’s advisable to use insect spray when hiking, stay on paths or clear areas where you can see where you’re stepping.

The Butterfly House has been lovingly created with charming decor, original artwork, and plentiful amenities. We’ve maximized every inch to provide our guests with a comfortable and enjoyable stay. If experiencing a shipping container is appealing to you, you’re in for a treat.
