It's a chill property with a creek nearby. There's also a couple of lakes if you want to rent a boat, but just kicking back in the yard is great! I always love outdoor baths and showers as well. ##### Chad Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian S.

Enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit. Would recommend. ##### Brian S. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zarka P. Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet retreat We went for a long weekend in autumn with our three elderly dogs. This was the ideal location to take them away from other people and animals. We only saw wild turkeys and my sister and one dog enjoyed dipping in the creek. Lots of flat areas to walk if you have mobility issues (our dogs did); a hammock; games; small kitchen; gorgeous outdoor tub and shower (as well as an indoor shower that we did not use); composting toilets; seating areas; outdoor grill (we didn't use); and, outdoor lights. This property looks like it will be developed to house a number of sites in the future so go while you can still enjoy it by yourself! ##### Zarka P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas L. Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tiny but not The setting, steps away from Deer Creek, was just what the Dr. ordered. The tiny house was quaint, clean, stocked with nice touches and secluded. The outdoor tub and shower was amazing to have on this, hottest weekend of the year. They had a gas grill, frisbee golf, tire swing and board games to keep you busy. The creek was cool and running fast, perfect for sitting in and cooling off. The AC unit was a beast and keep the tiny house cold, actually had to sleep with covers on! It's the perfect spot for 1 or 2 to "get away" from the city and crowds but not too far from necessities. There is no wifi however they do have a cell booster for those that like to keep in touch with social media posting pics and chatting. Overall it met my expectations and what made it more was the great communication from the owners and their openess. ##### Thomas L. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauline U. Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway for 2 pups Great tiny house on lots n lots of property. We hiked to the creek which in April was very active and if you travel further into the property, there are wonderful views and swimming holes (5 mins. drive with our Bronco). The turkeys visited daily even with our pups. The only sounds are the creek, crickets, and frogs. Awesomeness! We BBQ-ed (gas grill) and played dominos AND talked to each other. I learned to use a French press coffee maker which turned out my husband loves. Lots of off grid choices for this property. Totally recommend! ##### Pauline U.
