Retreat into nature for a night or two – or more – at a secluded rural getaway in a tiny house. It’s a terrific way to get out of the city or just shake up your regular routine in one of the most scenic parts of the state.
This tiny house is located on a permaculture farm in scenic northeastern Nebraska. It's not far from Ponca State Park, so if you're planning a visit, this could be the ideal home base for your adventures.
One of the first things you'll notice is the sense of tranquility in this rural setting. If your goal is to get away from the city and enjoy a quiet night or two with no disruptions, this is the place for you.
It's not the type of place you could call luxurious, but that's part of its charm. The only heat available here is a wood-burning stove, and the electrical system isn't set up for portable heaters.
And to make it truly rustic, the tiny house doesn't have hot water, either. But there's running cold water and a kettle to warm it up in. You won't be able to luxuriate in a steamy shower, but you can clean up a bit before heading out for the day.
The kitchenette features a mini-fridge and some cooking utensils. You can cook indoors on the hot plate, but it's more fun to take your meal out to the firepit and cook it out there. You'll feel like you're camping!
If you're put off by any of these "inconveniences," you'll forget all about them when you see just how magnificent the surroundings are. While lying in bed, you can watch splendid sunrises and gaze at the star-filled night sky.
No matter what time of year you visit, make some time to go exploring the miles of walking trails. Whether you're walking solo or take a companion along, you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of these outdoor places.
The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular out here. There's a particular hill that you can climb for a 360-degree view of the surrounding countryside. It's one of the most beautiful sights in the state.
Your hosts are eager to be as social or as invisible as you like. They're happy to let you watch the farm chores being done, and they'll even answer all of your questions about the unique permaculture farm.
