The space

This cabin is perfect for you if you like to feel like you are camping, but don't want to set up the tent and haul in all the stuff. We like to camp comfortably too, so we fixed it all up for you to enjoy. The cabin/tiny house is off-grid-- no electric or running water. A queen bed and all the bedding and bath linens are provided. The shower stall in the bathroom has a hook for a camp shower (a bag-style camp shower is provided). The toilet is a composting toilet- not a stinky outhouse! It is very easy to use. Just follow the directions that will be laying on the toilet lid. There ...

Guest access

You will have access to the entire cabin as well as the yard area around it.

Other things to note:

This area is remote and has little to no mobile phone service, so plan accordingly. Yokum's Store in Seneca Rocks does have WiFi. If you want to have a campfire while you are here, we have firewood bundles for sale ($6 dollars per bundle; $12 for 3 bundles). We throw in newspaper, kindling, and a lighter for you to use to start campfires.

the location

testimonial

This place and experience both exceeded our expectations. We stayed for four nights in this tiny home and loved every minute of it. Off- grid, relaxing and enlightening. Peaceful and beautiful. The hosts though through every situation you might face, and the they prepped the tiny house with any amenities needed to make it work. Again, we LOVED this tiny house, our experience, and every moment we had at it!

The stay in this tiny house was exactly what i was looking for: scenic, isolated, and comfortably "off the grid". The hosts definitely prepared for any needs with the place stocked with all manner of utilities (dish soap in case it was forgotten, bug repellent candles and the like). The summer nights were spectacular, with a lush country sky and a gorgeous array of fireflies in the wildgrowth. If you're looking to get away from your phone for a bit and just decompress, this house is a great option!

The tiny house is cute and incredibly comfortable (especially the bed, which is so very comfortable!), but the view really steals the show. And the location cannot be beat. This area of West Virginia is gorgeous, so beautiful it was hard to keep my eyes on the road. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for an easy camping experience, or comfortable access to great hiking, or just wants to get away for a few days. Be aware that there will be zero cell service, and that you will have to walk about 30 yards away from the tiny house to get close enough to the wi-fi signal from the hosts' house.

Absolutely wonderful! Extremely clean and cozy tiny home and spectacular views. Kent and Marissa are very friendly and are great hosts, but still respect your privacy. Can't recommend this place enough!

I visited during the fall and enjoyed the beautiful views around the cabin and also hiking Seneca Rocks. Be ready to be off-the-grid and in a little of camping mode. I work as IT and technology surrounds me every day and could get overwhelming at times, being off the grid was the perfect break I needed. I had not rested like that in years!! The Tiny House has everything you need to make you feel very comfortable. It is very clean and well maintained. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Let them know if something is missing at the cabin or if you need help with anything. They are great people. Will visit again.

From check-in to check-out, this was the PERFECT tiny house for our first vacation in about a year! We stayed 6 nights. The hosts are friendly, kind and very hospitable. They checked in with us when we got back from a day trip to ensure we still had enough linens and everything we needed about halfway through the stay (which we did!). The daytime views from the front porch were breathtaking, the night sky was a huge blanket of stars with a couple of planets, the house had everything we needed, and the location was close to everything we wanted to see (Seneca Rocks, Seneca Caverns, Smoke Hole Caverns, Blackwater Falls State Park, Dolly Sods, to name a few). We loved using the camp stove and the fire ring regularly. The shower and toilet were easy to figure out and use (they also provided instructions). We took 8 candles with us but probably only needed 4. Four were also provided in addition to strategically placed battery operated lights. The house also had an ~8” pan for cooking, a spatula, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. We loved walking on the trail around their property for even more views of the mountains and fall foliage. The hosts’ home is just over the hill, far enough that you don’t feel as if you’re invading each other’s privacy. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and with our hosts and will be recommending their house to our friends and family. We hope to return one day soon to either this tiny house or one of their other cabins/glamping tent. You won’t be disappointed with your stay here!

We immediately felt at home once arriving at the cabin. We’ve stayed at many rural Airbnbs and this was by far our favorite. The mountains mixed with the rolling farmland are so charming, not to mention the tiny house itself. Sometimes the first night in a rural Airbnb can feel a little scary if you’re not used to it, but we did not have that feeling at all here. We immediately felt comfortable. The family that hosts it is so kind and friendly! You completely have your own privacy too, which is nice since it’s on the same lot as their home. The tiny house is on the other side of a hill on that lot. This was probably our favorite Airbnb experience yet!

There are several convenience stores in Seneca Rocks. Besides that, you would need to drive 35-45 minutes to Shop and Save in either Petersburg or Davis.

To ensure the experience will be amazing, we only allow two guests. The composting toilet may not handle more than two people very well.

Bring clothes suited for any weather condition and any dishes, pots, and pans you will need. Paperware is recommended since dishwashing facilities are limited.
