Escape to a private and secluded 160 acre permaculture homestead, just steps from the majestic Alvord Desert. Our unique tiny cabin offers a one of a kind off grid experience with breathtaking views of Steens Mountain.
The space
This thoughtfully designed tiny cabin features two queen beds. One queen is nestled in a cozy loft, accessible by ladder perfect for an adventurous spirit! You'll be surrounded by custom woodworking, including a stunning knotty pine ceiling and a beautiful juniper wood counter. For your comfort, a propane heater is available for cooler seasons and a ceiling fan for warmer days. Fully off the grid.
Our one of a kind tiny cabin is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, offering you unparalleled privacy and a front row seat to the desert's breathtaking magic. Step outside and directly onto the Alvord Playa, where vast public lands stretch endlessly under a canopy of brilliant stars. This is your chance to truly disconnect and immerse yourself in nature's embrace.
Whether you're exploring the playa, rockhounding for hidden treasures, or soaking in nearby desert hot springs, every moment here is an adventure. After a day of exploration, return to your private oasis to rest, rejuvenate, and rediscover your connection to the wild. The quiet magic of the desert, abundant wildlife, and the sheer vastness of the landscape will leave you feeling completely restored.
