Bugs & Nature
The Tiny Home is nestled in the heart of nature on a working farm, so you may encounter the occasional ladybug, fly, wasp, or other insect during your stay. While the space is carefully cleaned and we do our best to manage bugs, the home isn’t fully sealed—and some little visitors may make their way in.
Summer Reminder: Mosquito Season
During the warmer months, mosquitoes can be present—especially around the fire pit or barbecue area in the evenings. We recommend bringing bug spray and wearing long sleeves or light layers to stay comfortable while enjoying the outdoors.

This is simply part of the rural experience, and we appreciate your understanding! If you need assistance or have any concerns during your stay, we’re always here to help.
