The tiny house was perfect for our stay. The bed is super comfy. I accidentally locked the keys in the house so I messaged our host and he replied quickly and made sure we could get back in right away. It had all of the amenities that we needed and our dog was able to stay with us as well which was great.

4th of July Escape

The tiny house was so cute and had everything you could need. It was located close to places to eat, shops and the marina/lake. The chickens and beautiful farm lands were an extra bonus. It was just the peaceful escape we needed. Thanks so much Charles. We will be back

My granddaughter and I stayed one night recently when we came to see Laura Ignalls birthplace. The tiny Alden house was perfect for us. It was clean, bed was comfortable and what I always like it had a ceiling fan.Chuck,Elan, Oscar and the chickens were great hosts. Chuck and Elan were very kind in leaving a gift for my granddaughter. Thank you for our nice stay at your tiny house .

What a great little spot tucked away in Pepin! It was perfect for our needs. Nice space, spacious bed, full bath, and really nice kitchen. Chuck is a great host, and we got a free dessert on him when we went to Harbor View! Will stay again and will be telling our friends.
