ExtrasAvailable at checkout

Pop up shade canopy at quarry poolrental

$40.00

A much needed item if you want to spend some time on pebble beach at quarry pool during a hot day. Eventually we will set up a more permanent shade structure over there, but use this for shade as a nice option.

Tentrental

$30.00

I will set up a 4 person tent near the cabin with a queen sized air mattress or futon.

Pet Feerental

$30.00

Dogs are allowed! but we do require a pet fee because of the extra clean up of mostly hair and occasional dog poops. Thanks

RV parkingrental

$50.00

There is a perfect parking spot for your RV near the tiny home next to a water spigot. With the outdoor eating area, BBQ, outdoor bath, and outdoor eco-toilet all in the same location, its a perfect spot for a group campout.

The land was beautiful, with the sound of the creek always present. Joe is very responsive and helped us trouble shoot the water heater, after which I was able to take a hot bath outside (so luxurious!) We enjoyed having a fire and playing some of the games available in the tiny home, and we slept well in the comfy bed. It was a wonderful escape. Thank you Joe!

This place is absolutely amazing! The tiny home was a little bit smaller than I anticipated but it was comfortable and had heating and A/C, which made it all the more cozy at night! Joe was very responsive and answered all of my questions before and during the stay, which I greatly appreciated! The land is amazing and my dogs loved the freedom to run around and explore. We will definitely be back again!

Peaceful and private retreat

I loved this private getaway! If you’re looking for a peaceful and private retreat this is the one for you! I had the wholeee place to myself, I’m talking trails, the creek, everything! It was perfect. Loved the outdoor shower too. The bed was comfy and there was all the basic necessities needed.

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

With pets

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.
