Super great hosts with an amazing property! Great for a secluded weekend, which is what we were looking for. The hot tub was the perfect thing for winding down. The container was the perfect amount of room for three people and our doggo. The bathroom was nice and clean, but a bit of a walk from the container. Still, it turned out to be the perfect location and the perfect weekend. We would definitely book this stay again.

Very clean tiny house. Worked well for our family. Private bathroom is nice, but is a short walk from house. Very easy check-in. Great communication from owner.

Awesome house, beautiful surroundings!! The owners were very accommodating kind and generous. Can’t wait to build a container house after staying here!!

Site was pretty great. As far as glamping goes. Hot tub was amazing. Property was very clean. We could not find the cows to save our own lives. Message. The host was zero response but it wasn’t emergency. We just wanted to see the cows. but we didn’t get a response.
