Perfect for a weekend getaway
Perfect cozy tiny home for a quick trip to the Pawpaw festival.The front porch was perfect for an afternoon break. We enjoyed a fire and stargazing after being at the festival all day. Gwen was quick to respond when asked about the firewood. Looking forward to staying again next year.

Excellent as Always!
I’m a repeat customer/guest. I love how they have managed to put together such a wonderful place. This time I brought my family (two teen daughters and the wifey). We had a wonderful evening under the stars with a fire in the fire pit next to our cabin.
My wifey and I stayed in the Fred cabin, while our daughters had their own cabin and slumber party right next door in the Dorothy cabin (they loved having their own place)!
This is the third time I’ve stayed as a guest with Gwen and I just can’t say enough good things.
