About the host
Hosted by Alice Lumbard
We're Doug and Alice, originally from IL. We missed our creek property and slower lifestyle so we made our tiny vacation house into our permanent home. Our creek is pretty special and if you're wanting to get away from urban life and drive to the backwoods; we'd love for you to be our guest in our glamping cabin!
Why they chose this property
We built this separate glamping structure to host our family and friends. It's attached to our back deck and we offer you as much privacy as desired (we live here). Our boulder filled wild brook trout stream and the peace of the stream set in the woods is something special to experience.
Want to stay longer? We also rent out “The Junction" (#1493247) - a 400 square foot tiny house with full kitchen that sleeps 2, overlooking the same creek, downstream.

What makes this property unique
You just can't beat our creek! The rushing water, the solitude of the forest, and no distractions creates a wonderful night stay! The highest compliment is when guests say they don't want to leave! We welcome you to come experience small living and see why less is more!
