Escape the Ocean City crowds and slow life down at the Garden Hideaway Tiny House...

Curated to both inspire joy and create presence, enjoy a simple morning and sip coffee with Fonzie the alpaca, Charlotte the mini-pig and a front yard of silly goats sure to entertain. This is a magical stay that we're certain you'll love! THE SPACE Here's your chance to experience tiny house living with the bonus of having your very own barnyard animals! Meet our fuzzy alpaca, a red-haired pig, miniature goats, and a pair of parading turkeys that call the ranch home. When entering the space, you will instantly notice the attention to detail, soft comfortable linens, and a whimsical vibe allowing you to unwind naturally. This 240-square-foot tiny house has everything you'll need in addition to complimentary coffee and hot tea. It is also one of the rare tiny houses with first-floor sleeping so you won't need to climb any ladders making it easily accessible for everyone. The Garden Hideaway is tucked away on our peaceful ranch just minutes from north Ocean City, MD and Delaware beaches so bring your beach towel!

Two folding desks can transform the couch into another dining spot, perfect for dinner as you watch the sun go down over the farm field. Have work to do? Relax in a comfy chair, pull up your desk, and get things done with reliable internet. FULL BATHROOM INCLUDES This full bathroom is well thought out and proudly eco-friendly with a “sink positive” type sink for hand washing. Also known as a Japanese sink, these sinks are popular in Asia for their ability to use fresh clean water for hand washing and then recycle into the toilet. Water is used twice; space is saved and this method of water usage is super green for the earth. We think it’s genius, but make sure you like it too! The dual-functioning bathtub/ shower is the perfect size for younger children to enjoy a bubble bath and adults can enjoy the shower. BARNYARD ANIMALS Bring the baby carrots, strawberries and green beans if you want animal best friends! At this hideaway tiny house, you’ll have adorable miniature goats and Fonzie the fluffy alpaca inside the fenced yard. Don't forget the pair of parading turkeys and be sure to say hello to "Charlotte" our mini, red-haired pig! OUTDOOR AREA The tiny house has an outdoor eating area with a rustic picnic table and a beautiful garden chandelier floating above it. Plan to relax by the fire pit/ grill with a soft glow of string lights at night. There's also a small garden nook with a single chair perfect for cracking open your favorite book under the big oak tree. The backyard is an amazing countryside oasis. You may hear songbirds and you will enjoy gorgeous sunsets with whitetail deer hopping through the field nearly every evening. At night expect crickets chirping, see stars twinkling, and enjoy the peacefulness only a rural setting can give. Don’t be fooled though…. While you rock away on your country porch, you’re only minutes away from popular area attractions such as the Ocean City boardwalk, Fenwick Island, and Bethany Beach. Tax-free outlet shopping at Rehoboth Beach, wild ponies on Assateague Island, hiking and biking are at James Farm along with tons of eateries that surround the farm. All you could want will be at your fingertips and very close by. I also included a two-page suggestion list inside the tiny house with my local favorite eateries and activities to explore.

Thank you for leaving your animals at home while enjoying all 20+ of ours. 3. Can I wander around the ranch, unattended? Keep in mind we are a small ranch and while 1/2 of our property is open, the other 1/2 is livestock pastures and other Airbnb's. You cannot access the entire property due to safety reasons and our livestock habitats. You can however walk to the Old West Town, corn hole area, the new horseshoe pit, visit the goats and view the horses and cattle but we ask that you do not open animal gates. 4.
