About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Doohickey - A Tiny Apartment in the Woods

We have bugs, spiders, ducks, and other outdoor critters. We have a shared Pavilion, shared showers and toilets, a fire pit, and other community gathering places.

The outdoor bathrooms, while dutifully maintained during your visit, may be shared with other guests, depending on the number of visitors during your stay.

The facility has a capacity of 8 guests served by 2 toilets and 2 showers.

Description continued:

Inside, the thoughtfully designed space strikes a balance between comfort and practicality. The fully equipped kitchen features a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, and dual induction cooktop—ideal for preparing simple, tasty meals. A small dinette for two offers a perfect spot for breakfast or a cup of coffee.

The living area includes a Roku TV, Wi-Fi, and a double sleeper sofa downstairs.

Upstairs, a cozy sleeping loft with a queen-sized bed provides extra sleeping space for guests.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a sleeping loft with a 4 1/2-foot ceiling.

The bathrooms and showers (PLEASE NOTE: Rustic - no heat or AC) are located across the gravel drive, approximately 180 ft away. This would be about the distance of a bathhouse from most campsites in a state park. Please note that they may be shared depending on the number of guests staying with us during your visit. If they are shared, they are maintained throughout your visit for utmost cleanliness.

Step outside to the pavilion—perfect for enjoying morning coffee while listening to bird songs, relaxing with family, dining at picnic tables, grilling, or hanging out beneath the open sky.

Gather around the fire pit in the evening for cozy conversations or spend the day fishing at the pond, stocked with bass and bream.

Explore the scenic walking trail that winds through the woods, offering solitude and adventure just steps from your doorstep. You might even stop to observe or interact with grazing cows in the neighboring field.

Expect wildlife, insects, and dirt—part of the authentic outdoor experience.

For outdoor enthusiasts, additional campsites are available for boondocking, making this an ideal base for weekend trips or extended adventures.

Larger groups can also book additional facilities, such as a smaller sleep shed or a camper, but these are available separately and subject to availability.

Located conveniently near Interstates 77 and 20, this secluded retreat provides easy access to regional attractions while offering a peaceful, natural haven for relaxation and exploration.

Whether you seek a restful escape or an outdoor playground, this tiny woodland apartment combines rustic charm, comfort, and natural beauty for an unforgettable stay!
