Tiny Houses

We have four whimsical tiny homes
that will make all your peeps smile!
You can choose a charming tiny 40's farmhouse, a jazzy New Orleans-style bungalow, a Fisherman's rustic modern cottage, or even a Red-woofed dog house that is sure to make your tail wag.  All are fully equipped with linens, kitchenette, a nighttime toilet and fun!

Glamping Tents & Campsites

Want to camp in style and barely lift a finger? Try any (or all) of our three fully-outfitted Glamping Tents. We have a colorful Bohemian yurt, a spell-binding Harry Potter tent and a romantic Glamour-of-the-50's tent (for a different kind of magic!) Traditional platform tent sites are also available.

Unique Stays

Forget normal vacation rentals! Park your adventurous family inside a 40 ft. school bus that is an ode to our National Parks. How about a shipping container that is a stealth hideaway for DC heroes ?  Or for twosomes, try our vintage retro camper -- cute as a bug! Each are fully outfitted so that you'll never forget these quaint and cozy rentals!
