About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Lily Pad

The Lily Pad is located on a 34 acre homestead/farm. This sweet tiny home is surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife. The well lit space is perfect for almost any occasion. A quick getaway, a peaceful space to practice your art form, or a lovely place to unwind and recharge.
This thoughtful space has two lofted bedrooms (not totally private from the rest of the tiny house). A cook friendly kitchen and a bathroom with a washer/dryer.
The space
This tiny house is on a 34 acre start up farm/homestead. We have been working hard since July of 2020 and are so excited to list our first space. The tiny house is not so tiny with 385 square feet, the Lily Pad has two "bedrooms" with queen beds, a fully stocked kitchen, and a nice little couch, tv, and dining area all with a view of a cute little pond (visibility varies with season)! With windows everywhere, you can really be a part of nature!
Guest access
You will have access to your tiny house yard as well as the rest of your property:) There are trails all over the property and some of the best sunset watching from your own private deck.

A great little spot!

It is exactly as described. What a great escape- so sweet! If you choose to go, definitely do check out the driving directions for landmarks as google maps is iffy on the location.

Very cute place

Loved the vibe. Very cute and cozy. Would not recommend to tall people though unless you want to bend in the shower lol I’m 5’10 and the shower head was probably 3 inches shorter than me. Other than that very nice stay.

The best thing I can say is that if you are looking for a place to completely decompress yourself from the stress of the hustle and bustle this is the place for you. Stars at night when it’s a clear sky and the sounds of nature instead of horns and sirens made this little getaway the most attractive of all.

LilyPad

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the little hidden jewel! It was our first time in a tiny house and wasn’t bad at all. Suggest this if your not a “camper/tent” person like myself. We came to town for a BroncoJeep event and really enjoyed our time here.

Cute, simple, and a perfect getaway

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway from the city. The communication with the host was superb, they were extremely accommodating, and the property was absolutely beautiful. There is a little trail into the woods from the tiny home that is very fun to explore. Loved the fire chiminea for when the weather got cooler at night! Easily one of my best VRBO experiences.

The Lily Pad

We loved the Lily Pad! Everything was appointed perfectly; each detail aesthetically and functionally placed with the care and welfare of the guest utmost in mind. And the quiet, country setting with the small, beautiful lake in view in the backyard was exquisite. All this brought us simple comfort and joy. Thank you for this gift.

Weekend getaway to atv park

We decided to visit a local atv park and found this cute rental. The host was very responsive to questions and requests, We arrived in the middle of the night and checked in easily. There were 4 adults and the tiny house accommodated us comfortably. We awoke to the many extra touches our host had left for us. Fresh eggs, coffee beans with a grinder and fresh cream. The property was so peaceful and beautiful. The tiny house over looks a pond and it was nice to sit and enjoy coffee on the deck. Highly recommend this rental.

Very accommodating host, adorable tiny home.

We were in town for a funeral and stayed at this tiny home as an experiment. It was a good experience with the host and the home. I highly recommend if you find yourself near Franklinton. There were farm fresh eggs in the kitchen and everything you could want for an evening stay. It can be hit or miss on short term house rentals, this was a home run.

Picture perfect

My husband and I had a quick overnight in the area and the Lilypad was just what we needed to help us relax and unwind! The place is tucked away from city noises, but only a ten minute drive from the town! The property was beautiful and exactly what you see in the pictures! We could not have asked for a better little get away! Can't wait to book again!!
