Loved it! The only suggestions we have are to get a more comfortable couch and to put grippies on the stairs leading up to the bedroom (they were a little slippery while wearing socks). The whole place was very clean and well equipped. The scenery could not be beat!

Unique stay in a peaceful setting by the river. Hot tub and outdoor space were amazing! The actual tiny house and indoor space left quite a bit to be desired in terms of cleanliness and general wear and tear on things. Definitely the place has been well used in contrast to the pictures shown. Lots of flies and other insects, which is certainly understandable given the time of year and being in nature, but seems like the house might need some better sealing to keep more insects out! As other reviews mentioned, there is a house right next door so keep that in mind (clearly left off from listing pictures). Still a pretty private stay all things considered. Overall, we’d still recommend staying here due to the one-of-a-kind location and relaxing hot tub, but for the price, we had much higher expectations for the tiny house.

The tiny home was nice and easy to get too. It was clean for the most part. There was a lot of dog hair. Beside that little discrepancy my wife and I had a great time!

Just as advertised!

We had a great night away in the tiny house. A couple of tight fits if you’re over 6 feet tall, but if you don’t see that coming with a tiny home, well, that’s on you. Great experience!

Great stay

Lovely tiny house, there was another cabin on the same lot not shown in pictures. No curtains on River side for privacy. Hot tub jets worked on one side only. Very quit and serene. Would definitely stay again!
