Tiny House on the lake, also called cabin #4

The tiny house is on the edge of a 4 acre pond. The full bed is a mattress in a loft, stairs and a handrail to get up, it's a bit over 5 feet for headroom, please note, as a loft bed is not for everyone. Cabin is in the woods with bugs, poison ivy, and animals. I often see a water snake swimming in the pond below, along w/ fish and turtles. Catch and release. If you want to be in a kind of raw nature setting without landscaping, tom, your host, will guide you in this experience.
