About this property

The Cattywampus - A Little Crooked, A Lot of Cozy

The Cattywampus | A Little Crooked, A Lot of Cozy


Tucked just off to the side and full of quiet charm, The Cattywampus Cottage is a cozy little stay that feels settled in, comfortable, and just a bit off the beaten path—in all the right ways.

Set on our peaceful farm, this thoughtfully arranged tiny apartment offers a place to slow down, rest easy, and enjoy a simpler pace for a while.

It’s not fancy—but it’s warm, welcoming, and done with care.

Why Guests Love It

* Cozy, thoughtfully designed space with a comfortable, lived-in feel
* Quiet farm setting with room to breathe and unwind
* Access to shared pavilion, fire pit, and outdoor gathering spaces
* A stay that feels personal, peaceful, and unhurried
* A unique alternative to standard hotel accommodations

---

Please Read Before Booking

We want you to have the best possible stay, so it’s important to understand the setting.

This is a shared, outdoor-style farm experience. If you’re not the outdoorsy or social type, we would still love to host you—but our property may not be the best fit.

You can expect:

* Bugs, spiders, ducks, and other woodland critters
* Shared spaces including the pavilion, fire pit, and gathering areas
* Shared bathrooms and showers, depending on guest occupancy

The pavilion facilities serve up to 8 guests total and include:

* 2 toilets
* 2 showers

All facilities are cleaned and maintained regularly throughout your stay.

---

The Space

The Cattywampus Cottage is designed to make the most of a small footprint while still feeling comfortable and easy to settle into.

Inside you’ll find:

* A cozy sleeping area for a restful night
* A comfortable sitting space to unwind
* A simple, functional kitchen setup for light meals
* Thoughtful touches that make the space feel warm and inviting

It’s not large, but it’s laid out with care—and once you’re in it, it feels just right.

---

Bathrooms & Showers

Bathrooms and showers are located just across the gravel drive, approximately 180 feet away—similar to a bathhouse setup at most state parks.

* Rustic setup (no heat or AC)
* May be shared depending on occupancy
* Cleaned regularly for guest comfort

Most guests find the short walk easy and part of the overall experience.

---

Step outside and enjoy everything the property has to offer:

* Shared pavilion with picnic tables and grills
* Coffee bar (available October 1 – May 31)
* Fire pit for relaxed evenings outdoors
* Walking trail through the woods
* Pond access for fishing (bass and bream)

You may also catch sight of cows grazing on the neighboring property.

---

Animals & Nature

This is a true outdoor setting.

You’ll likely encounter:

* Wildlife
* Insects
* Natural terrain and changing conditions

We also have:

* Free-roaming ducks
* Five friendly dogs who may greet you during your stay

Pets are welcome with prior approval, but must be well-socialized due to the animals on the property.

---

What to Expect

This is a farm-style glamping experience, not a hotel.

You’ll experience:

* A quiet, rural environment
* Natural surroundings and outdoor sounds
* A slower, more relaxed pace

WiFi is available, though speeds may vary due to the location.

---

Good Fit For Guests Who

* Enjoy cozy, thoughtfully designed spaces

---

May Not Be Ideal For Guests Who

* Prefer large or traditional accommodations
* Want a fully indoor, hotel-style experience

Location

Conveniently located near Interstates 77 and 20, offering easy access while still feeling tucked away from it all.

Final Note

The Cattywampus Cottage is one of two tiny apartments located near the front of the property by the main garage, with shared facilities just across the drive.
