IOf our three tiny houses at Bugs in a Jar Farm, Seahorse in the Pines is our most popular. It offers the most seclusion and privacy for those wanting to get away from the crowds. As the name implies, it also offers deep shade most of the hot summer. Relax in the hammock under the pines or on the private screened porch, and enjoy the hilltop breeze. Most dogs are welcome, but please note our STRICT NO PIT BULLS OR CATS ALLOWED, NO EXCEPTIONS! policy.

The space
Please see our YouTube channel, Finger Lakes Please see our YouTube channel, Finger Lakes Tiny Homes For Rent, for videos on this and our other tiny houses we have available. Seahorse in the Pines is the farthest tiny house from the main house, the community kitchen, and the full bathroom, though it is still a short, easy walk to the main house, and there is a driveway that leads most of the way up the hill, with its own private parking space. It is set in a shady grove of white pines, so offers the coolest campsite in the hot summer. We have added a beautiful side screened porch to escape any bugs or rain (not reflected in the photos). There is an outhouse available for those who don't want to make the walk to the community bathroom. Each tiny house comes with its own picnic table, fire ring, and grill. There is a 2000-watt battery powered generator that offers a limited amount of power (charge batteries, lights, fan, coffeepot, etc.).Bugs In a Jar Farm is about 15 miles south of Ithaca, in the beautiful Finger Lakes. It is almost adjacent to the Finger Lakes Hike and Bike Trail. The land consists 14 acres of forest and open space, with a beautiful creek and several small ponds. Pets are welcome at Seahorse, but please note our STRICT NO PIT BULLS, NO EXCEPTIONS! policy.

Guest access
Guests will have the tiny house, the deck, the outhouse, the picnic table, and the firepit to themselves. There is a shared community kitchen and bathroom a short walk away to the main cabin. The creek, ponds, and all the woods behind are available to all. We are within biking distance to the Finger Lakes bike trail and a short walk or drive to the hiking trail trailhead.

Other things to note
Please be advised of the following:
-- There are stairs to climb to get back and forth between the tiny house and the main cabin. There is off-street parking very close to Seahorse.
-- Since Seahorse is the farthest tiny house from the router, wifi and phone reception can be spotty in the pine grove. There is excellent wifi at the main house a short walk away.
-- There is NO HEAT and NO AIR CONDITIONING in the tiny house.
-- Seahorse measures eight by ten feet, but the double bed (54 inches wide) takes up half the inside space. This is a tiny house, NOT a full sized cabin.

-- Pets are welcome, but please note our STRICT NO PIT BULLS, NO EXCEPTIONS! policy.;
