About this property

Destination Location! Farm Animals, Tours, Beaches

🏡 Meet Fonzie the fuzzy alpaca, Charlotte the red-haired pig, a trio of miniature goats, and watch the parading turkeys and many more animals that call the ranch home. When entering the space, you will instantly notice the attention to detail, soft comfortable linens, and a whimsical vibe allowing you to unwind naturally. This 240-square-foot tiny house is well-curated and has everything you'll need for a short stay. It's one of the rare tiny houses with first-floor sleeping so you won't need to climb any ladders making it easily accessible and has a small bathtub and shower. The tiny house is our most secluded rental option at Cowtown Cabins with its private walkway back to the house. It's cleverly tucked away allowing our guests maximum peace and serenity. Don't forget Cowtown Cabins is just minutes from north Ocean City, MD, and Delaware beaches so bring your beach towel! 🌊

This full bathroom is well thought out and proudly eco-friendly with a “sink positive” type sink for hand washing. Also known as a Japanese sink 🎎, these sinks are popular in Asia for their ability to use fresh clean water for hand washing and then recycle into the toilet. Water is used twice; space is saved and this method of water usage is super green for the earth. We think it’s genius, but make sure you like it too! The dual-functioning bathtub/ shower is the perfect size for younger children to enjoy a bubble bath and adults can enjoy the shower. If you're staying for more than a couple of days, bring your extra bath towels and supplies. There is also a laundromat nearby. 🫧

EXPERIENCE BARNYARD ANIMALS 🐑🐓🐐🐖🦙🦃

Bring the baby carrots, strawberries, and green beans if you want animal best friends! At this hideaway tiny house, you’ll have adorable miniature goats and Fonzie the fluffy alpaca inside your barnyard. Don't forget the pair of parading turkeys and be sure to say hello to "Charlotte" our mini, red-haired pig! Also nearby is Herbie the hairy Scottish Highland bull who loves apples thrown over the fence to him! 🍎

Don’t be fooled though….

🌊 While you rock away on your country porch, you’re only minutes away from popular area attractions such as the Ocean City boardwalk, Fenwick Island, and Bethany Beach. Tax-free outlet shopping at Rehoboth Beach, wild ponies on Assateague Island, hiking and biking are at James Farm along with tons of eateries that surround the farm. All you could want will be at your fingertips and very close by. I also include a two-page suggestion list inside the tiny house with my local favorite eateries and activities to explore.

🤔 FAQ's

1. This is a curated ranch stay. Overnight guests are required to choose one ranch activity when booking. Please let Shelley know in your message which activity you are choosing.

2. What should I bring? While the tiny house is well stocked, Shelley suggests bringing drinking water, a heavy blanket for each guest for fall/winter stays, baby carrots, and a bag of green beans to feed the goats, alpaca, turkeys, and pig. Herbie the bull loves for you to "baby talk" him while you toss whole apples over the fence to him! If you cooking indoors, bring your hot plate, instant pot, or crockpot. Nearby, there are various eateries like McD's, Dunkin, Pizza, Seafood, and Italian restaurants. If doing "Chores N' Tour with Shelley, bring closed-toe shoes like sneakers or boots. No flip-flops or sandals are allowed on animal experiences. Keep in mind this home sleeps 2 guests with an option to message Shelley to add a 3rd guest. We do not allow more than three (3) guests due to fire code.

3. Are pets allowed/ service animals? No, we do not allow any pets and are "service animal-exempt" due to safety issues with on-site livestock guardians. Thank you for leaving your animals at home while enjoying all 20+ of ours!

4. Can I wander around the ranch, unattended? Keep in mind we are a small ranch and while 1/2 of our property is open, the other 1/2 is livestock pastures and other Airbnb's. You cannot access the entire property due to safety reasons and our livestock habitats. You can however walk to the glampground, play at corn hole area or the new horseshoe pit.

5. Can I access the all animals? The tiny house has its own, barnyard of animals that consists of miniature goats in the front yard, a fuzzy alpaca, a red-haired pig, and a parading pair of turkeys in the side yard. To access the animal rescue part of the farm, opt for Chores N' Tour. Feed 20+ farm animals while learning about the history of the ranch. As a bonus, Shelley also tours any of the unoccupied rentals so you can plan your next stay!

6. What other Airbnbs are at the ranch? There is a tiny house, two bell tent yurts, mini-huts, and an entire Old West glampground at the ranch. YES! You can have friends and family rent the other units and make this a group experience. You can see all of our listings if you click our name (logo.)

7. What's the history of the ranch? The property was a horse rescue for two decades. Some students take horse lessons here and the public books guided educational tours and paint parties. The ranch also produces a small amount of alpaca fiber and sheep wool sold yearly.

8. Can friends and family visit me while I'm at the ranch? No. The only people permitted to enter the property are registered guests. The public cannot access the property and we have a coded entrance gate. As a guest, you can expect to see other guests but not unknown people off the street.

9. Can I catch a UBER or LYFT? Yes! You can easily catch a ride to Ocean City, Maryland, or beyond. You'll need to be picked up at the entrance gate, not at the tiny house. How about food delivery? Yes! Order Doordash or pizza delivery just plan to meet your driver at the entrance gate, not the tiny house.

10. Is there an option for early check-ins and late check-outs? No. Because this property has multiple rentals, we do not allow early check-ins or late check-outs. All cleans are performed on time, keeping us on schedule for the next guest.

11. Are activities for children a different price than adults? All of our on-site activities are the same price for everyone. We also have two FREE activities

12. Can I bring my pet or service animals? No. We do not allow any guest animals or pets to stay with us due to regulations and safety issues. We are also service animal exempt due to safety issues with nearby guardian livestock.

The Swedish Cowboy space is located inside a barn and smoking of any kind is strictly prohibited while inside the barn house or directly outside.
