Awesome and relaxing place to stay!

It's a chill property with a creek nearby. There's also a couple of lakes if you want to rent a boat, but just kicking back in the yard is great! I always love outdoor baths and showers as well.

Cozy little tiny house in a quiet little valley. Very private. Short walk to the creek. Enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit. Would recommend.

Had a great stay! Hard to find anything as quiet and remote as this. We were completely alone on 135 acres and it was so relaxing. Know before you go that this place is off grid and primitive and you should be the type of person who knows how to flip a circuit breaker and trouble shoot minor issues. Also it’s not a hot tub, it’s a bathtub and it gets cold pretty fast so that part was disappointing as I was looking forward to a soak. Oh well. Saw a great thunderstorm so that made it all amazing.
Deer creek was high!
Sooo many amazing mushrooms!!

It is a large property on which to spend time alone, feels like a square mile. With three days to enjoy a stay, I found that the place is a rare opportunity to witness nature on its terms. The oak/pine woodlands with resident wild turkeys and deer, and a kestrel flying, greeted me along the steep driveway after leaving the main road. At a creekside meadow find a tiny home set close to its outdoor living areas. Once out of the car notice the sound of rushing water that pervades.The host has included accessories indoors and out to support your enjoyment with board games and a disc golf course. The tiny home offers the basic comforts to the traveler, much expanded by the outdoor shower and tub patio, a hot tub, outdoor seating and cooking spots. These comforts and the scale of the outdoor space and creek frontage remind you to do more living outside.Back at home, I continue to dwell on Deer Creek Ranch. What would I do there next time? Bring a guest, binoculars, a flashlight, and make use of the outdoor fire pit!

Quiet retreat

We went for a long weekend in autumn with our three elderly dogs. This was the ideal location to take them away from other people and animals. We only saw wild turkeys and my sister and one dog enjoyed dipping in the creek. Lots of flat areas to walk if you have mobility issues (our dogs did); a hammock; games; small kitchen; gorgeous outdoor tub and shower (as well as an indoor shower that we did not use); composting toilets; seating areas; outdoor grill (we didn't use); and, outdoor lights. This property looks like it will be developed to house a number of sites in the future so go while you can still enjoy it by yourself!

Perfect getaway for 2 pups

Great tiny house on lots n lots of property. We hiked to the creek which in April was very active and if you travel further into the property, there are wonderful views and swimming holes (5 mins. drive with our Bronco). The turkeys visited daily even with our pups. The only sounds are the creek, crickets, and frogs. Awesomeness! We BBQ-ed (gas grill) and played dominos AND talked to each other. I learned to use a French press coffee maker which turned out my husband loves. Lots of off grid choices for this property. Totally recommend!

Tiny but not

The setting, steps away from Deer Creek, was just what the Dr. ordered. The tiny house was quaint, clean, stocked with nice touches and secluded. The outdoor tub and shower was amazing to have on this, hottest weekend of the year. They had a gas grill, frisbee golf, tire swing and board games to keep you busy. The creek was cool and running fast, perfect for sitting in and cooling off. The AC unit was a beast and keep the tiny house cold, actually had to sleep with covers on! It's the perfect spot for 1 or 2 to "get away" from the city and crowds but not too far from necessities. There is no wifi however they do have a cell booster for those that like to keep in touch with social media posting pics and chatting. Overall it met my expectations and what made it more was the great communication from the owners and their openess.
