Irving's Gnome Dome Mushroom Sculpture Tiny House

This listing is for those who like to get off the beaten path. You'll walk a 500 ft trail from your parking space to this unique mushroom dome that's been taken over by gnomes. Enjoy the sounds of nature on the trail past our garden and through the woods. Enter the playground of the gnomes. Find the green door to the tiny mushroom house in the big trees. Available summers May 1 to September 30. Other months it maybe available without running water by special request depending on the weather.

The dome has an rv toilet. A complete depression of the foot pedal drops the waste to the holding tank. This should be done quickly to minimize the odor getting into to dome. Then you slightly depress the foot pedal to have some water in the bowl which creates a good odor free seal.

The space
The property has no record of agricultural use other than pasture. It is a remnant of tall grass prairie transitioning to forest. We believe good management includes all our plant species and find great pleasure in helping so many diverse plant species and animals in our habitat. There are two small streams cutting through the southern part providing wonderful natural habitat with trails cleared most years. It's great for sitting in nature, walking or birdwatching.

Every Relaxing! Extremely Peaceful! You will need to love the great out doors to enjoy your stay snd the sweet sounds of Nature. The walk to your venue is a journey so be sure you are in shape to do so. The lighting at night is dim. You may need a flashlight. Sue the home owner is a wonderful lady
