Perfect Getaway with Private Creek
We loved the tiny home! It had everything we needed for cooking and sleeping and was comfortable and cute inside. The area around the tiny home is also nice, with a hammock, chairs, outhouse, and outdoor bathtub and shower. The creek was awesome for swimming with lots of little waterfalls and pools and striking big rocks. An excellent weekend :) thanks for having us!!

Private camping with creek
Very private, awesome location with a big creek to enjoy. The tiny house had everything you would need, the property is well thought out with the outdoor tub and shower, outhouse, tables and chairs, swing, disc golf baskets etc. We had it completely to ourselves and the creek was an amazing spot.

Amazing secluded vacation
Love this gem! My son and I had a great time. If it weren't for the AC I'm not sure we would have lasted the entire time during the heat spike the week we camped. So that was a great added addition in which we appreciated. The creek was great to have. That's what kept us cool. I would suggest the second pathway to creek as the best. Swimming hole was much too slippery to swim in and covered in moss and yuckies and you know little kids...lol. So we just put our 2 chairs right in middle of creek and sat there most the days lol. Second pathway had deepest area to do that and enjoy. No ticks on our trip, and my dog was safe. My son and I both felt safe. The compost toilet was nice to have, but I would recommend using outhouse for a #2 to decrease the smell within the tiny home while sleeping at night. I didn't need to pack as nearly as much as I did as Joe kindly provided most of it for coming and so forth. I left extra my paper towels and toilet paper I had brought as a thank you 😊. We were definitely secluded and private and it was so great! I didn't have to worry about my dog being free (who doesn't get along with other dogs nor most men). My son loved the outdoor shower. This land is a blessing and I feel grateful it is being shared. I can see the potential in which I know Joe is probably working towards. Good luck Joe and thank you!

Ode to Confluence Ranch
We had the most glorious stay at Confluence Ranch! The tiny house was perfectly suited to our needs, with plenty of thoughtful additions to make the stay even better. The AC was heaven-sent for afternoon naps in the intense heat this time of year. The hammock was perfect for napping. The outdoor bath gazing at the stars at night was otherworldly. Make sure to explore all the different creek paths AND take the longer walk to the swimming hole! Bring some shade if you have it and a chair as it’s hot and sunny and the “beach” is rocky. But it’s absolutely worth the gorgeous setting and magical waters. The small waterfall was an amazing shoulder massage. We didn’t run into ticks, but plenty of mosquitoes around sunset. So bring protection. And the composting toilets were easy to use. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing how the property evolves!
