Discover the simple beauty and tranquility of Living (Teeny!) Tiny while surrounded by soft, green hills. Sip a cup of coffee while gazing at greenery from the living room or deck. Lounge in a hammock, meditate, write, do yoga, cook in the outdoor kitchen, explore the land, or relax by the fire pit. Enjoy an ideal view of the gorgeous sunset. Marvel at the dazzling stars through the skylight as you drift off to sleep. Let this mystical oasis remind you of the beauty in simplicity and in nature.
The space
This unique (teeny!) tiny cabin was custom designed for extreme minimalist living! The atmosphere gives a cozy, woodland, and mystical feel; a large outdoor living space makes this a unique combination of outdoor/indoor living. Come to reflect, relax, enjoy the views and sounds of nature, and discover the unmatched delight of cozying up in a teeny tiny house in a vast outdoor space!
**Heights: The ceiling height of the kitchen is 6'4". The ceiling height inside the shower is 6'0.
**If you suffer from claustrophobia, even though the huge windows make the interior seem airy and open, consider whether this is the house for you; if you'd like a Tiny House experience but struggle with small spaces, you may feel more comfortable in one of the other Tinies, as they have a larger feel and look.
Please ask about an early check-in! It's very likely we will be able to accommodate you.
The footprint of the house is only 8x12 (96 sq ft—the size of a bedroom, but with tall ceilings!) and the porch is collectively 288 sq. ft. This house, despite its small size, has everything you need to live; I lived in it for 2 years, and it really had everything I needed. It has a 31”x 36”shower, composting toilet, a lofted "RV short full" or "RV 3/4 full" mattress (48” wide, 74" long), and a futon/couch (which folds down into a short twin bed).
The kitchen includes: a 19”-diameter galvanized steel sink (originally a flower pot) , 2 portable induction cook-top burners, pull-out drawers for storage, storage shelves for cans, spices storage on the ceiling, mini fridge (4.5 cu ft), combination microwave/convection oven, one 2 qt. saucepan, 2 frying pans (1 large, 1 medium), and collapsible food containers. It also has a foldable and stow-away custom-made counter-top that folds out to create a total of 8 feet of counter space (also can be used as a bar to eat at).
This house has a ladder (with wide steps) that folds up to the wall when you want more room downstairs. Heated floors on the bottom floor are a luxurious addition. Other sources of heat are: an electric wall heater, a mini-split AC/heat unit, and a propane fireplace for ambiance and supplemental heat. A hammock chair is stored on the wall and can be pulled down in seconds to provide alternative seating/views out the window (you can also sleep in it!).
A huge deck (3x the footprint of the house!) is the cherry on top, that adds lots of outdoor living to the space. And in the summer time, cooking exclusively in the outdoor kitchen is a must! There is a grill and a Blackstone griddle there. The Blackstone also has an Air fryer for your use. Cooking out there is the best! Come experience this minimalist paradise with amazing views!
Projector/TV: For those rainy days when you may not be able to access the outdoor amenities, this teeny tiny house has a Smart Projector (instead of a standard Smart TV) with a 65" wide pull-down projector screen. This Smart Projector functions using Roku, so you can sign into any of your normal streaming services. Whether rain or shine, you're sure to have a wonderful stay!
Guest access
The entire tiny house/surrounding outdoor area/deck/fire pit is yours during your stay! For food: You have access to all kitchenware, myriad spices, etc. Ground coffee and sugar are provided.
I LOVE coffee, and I want my coffee-loving guests to have a great coffee experience here! A french press and pour-over coffee maker/kettle are provided for those who prefer a richer coffee experience--though a normal drip coffee maker and creamer are also provided. Being Minimalist does not mean minimizing on life's pleasures!
The grocery store and local pizza joint are an 8-minute drive east, there's a yummy burger dive (Bob's Bar) 5 miles south, and a large variety of restaurants is a 30-minute drive East. If you're staying for three days or more, and enjoy cooking new meals at home (like I do!), I can also arrange to have Blue Apron deliver meals for you to make. More details about that below.
You'll also have access to the entire property: 80 acres! Feel free to go exploring--except the space with the cows. Don't go there. But overall, just let loose and be free! Hike the big hill by my house; the view is truly unparalleled. Or you may just prefer to sit on the back deck and take in the lovely views from there, or walk the trail circling two acres of the property.
You may see other people around the property, as the tiny houses about 150 and 200 feet north of the teeny tiny house are also rented as short-term rentals (this is included in a few pictures). Both other tiny houses are screened from view with privacy fence sections.
During the late Fall and Winter months, this will be a peaceful oasis, with nobody around. During the temperate months of the year, other guests may be outside, taking a walk around the grounds, etc. Additionally, this is a working farm, so we may be working on the grounds; the farmer that rents the land East of the tiny houses may also check on his cattle from time to time.
1.5 miles from my tiny house is Powder Creek Lake--which is great for fishing or kayaking/canoeing. And I do have a canoe on the property for your use! You will need to have a vehicle with a hitch (1 7/8” ball ) to transport the canoe on my utility trailer to and from the lake. But just let me know in advance and I will get it set up for you! Also, I don’t know if you can ice-fish on it in the winter; I would assume so!
If you prefer a real wood fire, free to use the fire-pit next to my house with chairs and wine-glass holders to relax.
Transportation to the property:
It’s a good idea to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle, as the 4-mile-long gravel road out to my place can get tricky to drive on if it’s raining or during the winter if it snows and plows have not come through yet. If it snows, I do have someone come out and plow my driveway; yet, once in the past when the snow was extremely deep and city plows hadn’t yet come through to clear the main road, my plow guy couldn’t make it out to my property with his bobcat until the next day. This has only happened once in the last four years. But just be aware that there is a chance of being snowed in during your stay, and be okay with that before you book in the winter time! Having said that, if you have a 4-wheel-drive, high clearance vehicle (I.e. a truck or SUV), you shouldn’t have any problems. I have a Jeep Cherokee and it has been perfect in the snow!
**There is another lone Tiny House about 1/4 mile north of the Teeny Tiny House that is under construction. It is gray, white, cedar, and has blue doors. Do not turn there; that tiny house a new project, and not ready for visitors. If you keep going for another 1/4 mile, you'll see the Teeny Tiny house, where you'll stay! If there's any confusion, please call :)
Other things to note
-There may or may not be other people renting out the tiny houses 150 and 300 feet away from the tiny house. However, these are generally shielded from view by a privacy fence.
During the late Fall and Winter months, this will be a peaceful oasis, with nobody around. During the temperate months of the year, other guests may be outside, taking a walk around the grounds, etc. Additionally, this is a working farm, so we may be working on the grounds; the farmer that rents the land East of the tiny houses may also check on his cattle from time to time.
-A deep-cleaning of the entire tiny house is done between each and every guest stay. That means:
-Fresh, clean linens are always used
-The futon is sanitized and cleaned
-All touched surfaces throughout the house are cleaned (basically every surface but the walls)
-If you are staying for at least three days, I do have a subscription to a fresh meal delivery service called Blue Apron so you can cook your own dinner without needing to shop or bring groceries beforehand. If requested, I would be happy to order a few fresh food delivery meals for you to cook and enjoy during your stay. Blue Apron offers two meals for two people for $53, three for around $70 (plus up-charges for substitutions and additions), and four meals for $85. Blue Apron also offers meals for 4 people for an additional cost. We can schedule the meals to be delivered on almost any day you'd like--just not Sunday or Monday. I personally have really enjoyed trying new recipes and discovering delicious new meals! It's also wonderful not to have to go grocery shopping. If you book a few weeks in advance and would like to try this option, let me know. I will send you the meal options for that week and we will work out the order details!
