We were excited to stay and experience a "tiny house" and we were really surpised of how open it felt, not cramped at all! The loft is a bit challenging for adults because the ceiling is low, but it was fine. It had all the conveniences of home and worked well for our little group of 3. We did purchase drinking water because we did not care for the well water, but well water is natural for rural settings. Larry was wonderful to work with and has a nice little bnb area right along the highway. We did not hear anything, but you would if windows were open, of course. We will definitely plan to stay there again if future plans bring us back to that area.
