The tiny house and property was beautiful. The house is decorated so nicely. The fire pit and lake views were great and relaxing. I wish the house had a TV, but we went and bought one for our weekend stay and had a great time. Lots of great hiking trails around. A very nice community.

Peaceful Getaway
It was spring break for us and we enjoyed hiking at the state parks during the day and then relaxing by the fire pit at night watching the sun set over the lake. The screened in porch was a plus to enjoy our morning coffee. We will recommend to our friends.
My husband would say, this tiny home wasn’t so tiny! We enjoyed staying here on a cool weather weekend - stayed plenty warm in the living space with the like-a-fire feature and heat plenty warm (with a window open in the loft!)
