Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Tiny Home with full kitchen on a peaceful 13 acres in a small town. Owner lives on site, but the tiny home is away from the main house so it is private. Ideal for 2 guests, but there is a pull-out sofa which could be comfortable for one more adult or a couple kids.

Room for more than one car or a trailer.

(Not suitable for 4-legged travelers due to free ranging ducks, peacocks and close proximity to horses and miniature donkeys)

(If your dates are unavailable, search Mira Bella South)

The space
Our property is protected from the roadway by a massive hedge, which blocks all viewing of our property from the street.

When you come in the driveway, the Tiny Home is on the right. The pond with a flock of ducks is on one side, and a meadow on the other. The views are great on both sides.

We have a horse, a mini-horse, and three mini-donkeys which come to the fence wanting treats (which are provided) from guests. Ducks roam freely and also come around wanting treats. There are also chickens (and roosters) on the property as well as some free-ranging white peacocks.

(The Tiny Home is two individual tiny homes connected by a 20' porch. The homes are very well-insulated, ensuring privacy for each unit.)

Guest access
Treats are provided for the meadow residents and the ducks and they will come around expecting those treats.

There is parking next to the tiny home.

Walking around the property is okay - my dogs will bark from inside the house but you are welcome to wander and explore. Just do not enter gated areas.

No swimming. You wouldn't want to. It's like...eew.

Catch & release fishing is allowed.

Other things to note
HURRICANE SEASON
I don't know what Airbnb's actual policy for cancellation due to hurricanes - but with me I can say if you cancel due to a hurricane I will refund you all of what Airbnb pays out to me for your stay. I don't know what they charge you on top of that, but I will at least refund you what I have received if you cancel due to hurricane. I mean. Come on. Who wants to come vacation in a hurricane? Or, I don't know, maybe some people would? But for those of you who aren't excited about falling trees, flooding, flying projectiles, no water, no electricity, no internet, excessive amounts of humidity and mosquitoes without air conditioning - I will refund you.

Neighborhood highlights

Lake Helen is awesome. It's called "The Gem of Florida" and it really is a gem. It's unlike most towns/cities around. Lake Helen has no red light, and horses have the right-of-way on the streets.

Where I went to school: Octorara HS in Atglen, PA
My work: It's complicated
Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom of 8. The oldest ones have moved on but I still have a few younger ones hanging around. I enjoy time around my home and spend a lot of time caring for the yard and my mini-zoo. I've got horses, mini-donkeys, geese, chickens, ducks, a pair of peacocks. I like to do sports photography, mainly volleyball. And when I have time I also like to write, and have self-published a few books on Amazon. I lived in Guatemala for 10 years and so yo hablo Español un poco. :)
