The space
This Charming Tiny House sits on the edge of a three-acre pond, surrounded by nature. A cozy full-sized bed welcomes you to sleep easy or sleep late, because there's no need to rush and nowhere to be, unless you want --

With just a few nearby houses you'll feel secluded enough, but enjoy the option for quick access (23 minutes) to downtown Des Moines, (17 minutes) to shopping at Jordan Creek Mall, (6 Minutes) to Middlebrook, Iowa's first agri-hood, The Merchantile, and soon, Wilson's Orchard.

Bring your bikes and hop on the Great Western Biking Trail, just a 2 minute drive down the road. On two wheels you can explore ecclectic places to grab a bite to eat, a drink or coffee, and live music in the summer. Don't worry about planning, we'll give you the route and all the details to make a full day of riding one to remember!

Prefer to stay close? Get cozied up with a book and a coffee, watch the sunset over the pond, or walk through the trees on our property. Start or end your day with a one-of-a-kind sauna experience in our traditional wood-fire sauna, perfect for rejuvenation, improved sleep, and warming up in the winter months.

The tiny house is 98 sq ft with a micro-dining table for two, a two-burner propane stove, Keurig and fridge for your use. There is a window a/c and radiant heater to make sure you're comfortable no matter the outside temps.
