As you step into Deer View Cottage, you're immediately welcomed by soft natural light and warm country decor. The living room offers a cozy retreat with a queen-size pull-out sofa bed—ideal for lounging with a good book, sharing conversation over coffee, or hosting a guest or two.
Smart TVs in both the living area and bedroom provide streaming access for those evenings when you want to unwind indoors.
The compact kitchen is fully stocked for home-cooked meals, morning coffee, or a quick snack before heading out to explore. You’ll find all the cookware you need, plus thoughtful touches like complimentary coffee, tea, sugar, and creamer—a small gesture that makes mornings that much sweeter.
Tucked in the back of the cottage, the private bedroom features a plush king-size bed, making this tiny home feel more like a boutique hotel suite than a rustic retreat. It's the kind of bed you don’t want to leave—but when you do, it’ll likely be to sip your morning coffee on the porch while watching for deer or hummingbirds. There is a small closet to store your belongings in the room as well.
What makes Deer View Cottage truly special isn’t just what’s inside—it’s the land that surrounds it. Situated on a 16-acre rural property, this home invites guests to roam open pastures, stroll through wooded areas, and sit quietly beside the stocked private pond to fish (or just enjoy the view). Bring your own poles and bait—bass and bream await, though nature doesn’t promise a catch every time, especially in colder months.
You might spot deer grazing at dusk, see woodpeckers or blue jays flitting through the trees, or even catch the hoot of an owl at night. There’s a quiet richness to this land, especially for those who take the time to pause and look.
For guests looking to play or practice, the on-site disc golf basket in the field offers a fun way to pass the time. Got a kite or drone? The wide open spaces here are perfect for flying, free of noise and crowds.
While it may feel like you’re miles away from it all, Deer View Cottage is just a short drive to modern conveniences: a Super Kroger, Walmart, Panera, LongHorn Steakhouse, Five Guys, and more are nearby—so you can enjoy countryside living without sacrificing access to good food or essentials.
The owners live just a few hundred yards away in the main house and manage all three cottages on the property personally. Their hands-on care ensures a clean, comfortable stay—and their proximity means help is never far if you need anything.
Built by Burgh Construction, this tiny cottage offers the best of both worlds: peaceful, private living on open land, with the comfort of a fully-equipped tiny home. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend away, a solo writer’s retreat, or a family stay with space to roam, Deer View Cottage is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.
