Why Kids Love it
Children will love the opportunity to stay in a ‘tiny home’! The loft bedroom is suitable for children over the age of 6. It is a super fun space for children, and with views of the outside through 2 windows, you get the feeling that you are sleeping in the trees. With 9 acres of land around it including a beautiful forest to explore plus a brook to splash, play and swim in, there is endless hours of fun to be had. There are wonderful local farmers markets to enjoy and nearby towns to visit. Local farms offer apple picking and apple cider doughnuts.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. Note the ladder to the loft can be removed; we suggest the loft is best for those aged 6+. There is a stream on the property some 400ft away in the woods - children may need to be supervised around it. There is room for a pack'n'play. The owners have a 45 lb dog named Milo roaming freely on their property (which has an electric fence around it); he may bark but is friendly. Please let the hosts know if you are uncomfortable with dogs. Tap water at the property is excellent. No smoking please.
