Ever wanted to feel like a gerbil or a hamster chillin’ in the retro 70s on an outdoor nature retreat? Likely not, but here’s your chance!! Encased in freshly milled cedar harvested right from our farm, this epically cute tiny house sits on 170 acres. With basic electricity, AC, heat, kitchenette & outdoor gas grill, all of your basic needs are both met and exceeded - leaving you free to go explore, hike the trails, swim in the pond, and thank your lucky stars. No wifi. PLEASE NOTE: NO HOT WATER
Located 2 miles from the rural and tiny town of historic Hartsburg, your tiny cedar house has its own private driveway and sits at the base of our hilly and majestic family farm under a giant Sycamore tree.
Park your car and take the wooden path to your front door, located just off your private front porch. (Or if you're coming by Bike on the Katy trail, ride the flat 1.6 miles from the Hartsburg access to our farm and park your bike!)
Inside you’ll find a cozy queen bed with soft linens and extra pillows along with cool, retro bedside lamps (we love interesting lighting, and hope you will, too). Find some fun books to read, too, and some games to help you pass the time.
A cozy kitchenette is complete with mini fridge for food storage, hot water kettle, and French press for making coffee or loose leaf tea. We provide the coffee!
COOKING
For cooking, we have an outdoor gas grill. We supply utensils for grilling as well as mugs, plates, and silverware so that you’re a definite step up from camping while enjoying your indoor/outdoor kitchen experience. The outdoor gas grill is your stove — unless you prefer to cook on an open fire, in which case we’ve got a fire pit nearby — with firewood available to purchase if you can’t bring your own or need more to keep the evening flames going! ;)
The living room has seating for two. Dining seating for two. Games for fun!
BATHROOM
There is a very clean porto potty nearby for bathroom. There is also a spigot nearby for clean drinking and cooking water.
OUTDOOR COLD SHOWER
We just built an outdoor shower for your convenience. NOTE: COLD WATER ONLY. It's not glamorous by any means, but it works! You can also swim in the pond or nearby beautiful Hart Creek to cool down or rinse off. We provide towels! (PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The shower is not available during the winter due to freezing temperatures that make the shower inoperable.)
PETS
Dog friendly - please inquire for pet policy.
SWIMMING POND
We have a swimming pond nearby with a little beach. You might also enjoy using our paddle board on the pond!
FISHING
We also invite you to fish in our pond. You are welcome to keep and eat any fish that you like, with the exception of all bass under 12 inches. Please be sure to release these until they get to breeding age in order to help us ensure the healthiness of our pond. Anything larger than 13 inches is all yours!
Guests have the tiny cedar house as well as front porch all to themselves!
We also have an off-grid cabin up the hill. You may see us or other guests (and/or their dogs) on the property grounds, but the grounds are so spacious you’re more likely than not to feel like you’ve got the whole place to yourself.
Hart Creek Conservation Trailhead just down the road is a lovely hike to the Missouri River Overlook.
Katy Trail Access at Hartsburg is an easy bike along Hart Creek (1.6 miles away).
PET FEE: Well-behaved pets are welcome with a $25 fee (per pet) per stay. Please inquire about our pet policy.
