A Unique “Hotel” in the Woods – A True Back-to-Nature Escape
Tucked away in a lush forest, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a genuine back-to-nature experience, where you’ll feel completely hidden from the outside world.
Your private, locked bathroom, labeled for Alseides, is just a short walk from your accommodations for added comfort and convenience.
You’ll share the peaceful property with free-range animals, so we kindly ask that you:
Keep all gates securely closed
Drive slowly and follow posted speed limits
Please note: pets are not permitted
This is a glamping-style experience — cozy and nature-immersed — so if you plan to cook, be sure to bring your own camp cooking gear.
We look forward to sharing this serene escape with you!

Take a leisurely stroll along our scenic trails and meet our friendly free-range animals—Rikki, Hammy, and the goats are often eager to greet visitors. For your convenience, BBQ utensils are available for use, and bikes are provided for exploring the area. You can also rent crab rings and receive a lesson at the red shed.
Inside, you'll find a selection of items for sale that you might have forgotten during your trip. Engage in friendly competition with games like badminton, cornhole, and ladder ball in the designated game area, or relax by the seasonal pond, where you can spot local wildlife. After a day at the beach, warm up in the hot tub or sauna—perfect for soothing your muscles and unwinding under the stars.
Other things to note
Check-In Policy & Property Guidelines
Because our accommodations are spread out across 40 acres of beautiful, forested land—and we offer so much privacy—we kindly ask that you check in between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM.
This allows us to personally welcome you, ensure you find your site easily, and provide all the information you’ll need for a great stay.
It’s just the two of us running everything here, so we truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this check-in window!
Need a little extra time?
We do offer a late check-in until 9:00 PM for a $25 fee, with advance notice at the time of booking. This charge will be processed through Airbnb for your approval.
Local Attractions
Once you've settled in, you're just a 10-minute drive from the charming town and nearby beaches — perfect for an evening stroll or a bite to eat.
Animal Interaction
While you're welcome to enjoy the presence of our free-range animals, please do not feed them —as this can encourage aggression amongst them.
Trash Policy
We kindly ask that you dispose of your trash in the provided can. If you have excess trash that doesn’t fit, please take it with you when you leave.
