    What an amazing property and tiny house! The tiny has was easy to find and get into thanks to clear communication from the host. The freshly baked banana bread was an awesome touch(: Kaila went above and beyond helping us find the place and recommending things around town. The house had everything you could need with its tiny kitchen, smart TV, and organized bathroom. I’d absolutely recommend staying here again!

    Quaint Cabin

    Very cute tiny cabin. Perfect for a one night stay. Includes all of the conveniences, even air conditioning, which was a pleasant surprise, since it was nearly 90 degrees & humid.

    Finding the spot

    There should be an address on the road to assist in finding it. Cool little place. 37 year anniversary. We got some great bonding time in. Would recommend it to others.

    Disliked: Communication
    Loved the tiny cabin. Was clean and comfortable (the AC was a blessing). The only drawback was that we couldn't have a fire due to no firestarter in the cabin. Also, the phone number listed in the guest book for the host, is not correct so we had ZERO communication with the host.

    Terrible experience

    I drove 3.5 hours to get to this (cabin.) The host said she would send me the door code by the time I checked in.

    We had some technical difficulties with poor service up north which resulted in a 2 hour delay getting Dan the check in information.
