I loved staying in the Tiny House! It takes some organization to fit into 140 sq. ft. but it’s so sweet and quiet. The kitchen is outside, about 10 feet away. It is entirely set up for you: toaster, burner, pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Cooking outside preserves the cedar aroma inside the completely wood-lined house. There is a small refrigerator inside for cheese and yogurt and also an electric kettle for tea or coffee.

The bathroom complex is also outside and includes a lovely paneled outhouse that has no outhouse smell and a solar shower. I can’t vouch for the solar shower since I stayed during the cloudiest, wettest spring on record. Anne graciously allowed me to shower inside the main house.

The sleeping loft is reached via a staircase with wide runners that also served as shelves for my books and various treasures. The bed is a foam mattress which was a bit too firm for me. I used my therma-rest on top of it to add a little extra softness. I slept better than I have in a long time there. There’s a window in the loft where you can look out into the tree tops and watch the seagulls flying, or see the moon and stars.

It is a unique experience, sort of camping in luxury. Elk Lake is a short stroll out the back gate and provides a 10K path to run or walk on, cedar trees and beaches all along it. There is wi-fi in the cabin and the hosts are the nicest people in the world. I highly recommend the Tiny House!
