Start your mornings on the covered front porch with a warm cup of coffee or tea, soaking in peaceful woodland views, and wind down each evening around the rock fire pit in cozy Adirondack chairs. Just minutes from waterfalls, scenic parks, charming shops, and local dining, Tiny Cub House blends serene seclusion with easy access to adventure.

There are 4 stairs that lead to the covered front porch. This outdoor seating area is an excellent place to unwind at the end of a day full of adventures or enjoy a cup of coffee or hot tea in the morning.
Stepping inside the front door, you will love all that this peaceful retreat offers guests. With only 200 square feet of indoor living space, Tiny Cub House packs a punch with all of its amenities! To the right, there is a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and comfortable bedding (extra blankets are in the upper cabinet). There is a small electric fireplace to enjoy on cool mornings when you're inside, and there is 43" Roku TV and very fast Wi-Fi for streaming your own channel subscriptions. A desk at the foot of the bed can be used as a remote workspace, and the lamp has a USB charging port. Tiny Cub House has a remote-controlled mini split HVAC system for heating and cooling, small ceiling fan, bathroom ventilation fan, and a dehumidifier in the loft area, so it definitely makes for a very comfortable space and is loved by our Guests.
There is a small fold-down dining table that can be lowered from the wall, and then with the press of two buttons, the hinges will allow it to fold up and give you more floor space. In the kitchenette, you will appreciate the thoughtfulness of the homeowners, as there is a beautiful butcher block countertop all the necessities for your retreat in the woods.

Moving through the main living area, there is a sliding barn-style door beside the refrigerator that leads to a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Through the bathroom, there is a small staircase that lead to the sleeping area.
Up the stairs, there is a full-size loft bed with a 5" memory foam mattress and comfortable bedding. The lamp has a USB charging port.
Back outside and near the covered front porch, there is a rock fire pit with 4 comfortable Adirondack chairs. You are welcomed to use any small pieces of fallen wood on the property that can safely fit inside the fire pit, and firewood bundles are sold at nearby stores. Please only burn firewood, as the homeowners and guests roast food over this fire pit.

It was just as described and the atmosphere was perfect. It was warm and cozy and clean with well stocked necessities and more. Great communication and a wonder stay. I’d come back again. Thank you
A cozy, comfortable, tiny home in a secluded, wooded area, we enjoyed every aspect of this property. We loved the loft, the fire pit, and the overall feel of the tiny home. It was clean, the beds were nice, and it was easy to cool. We would definitely book again.
The tiny club house was very cozy and pet friendly. I will definitely go back. Misti was very sweet and responded back to you quickly for any help you might need.
Clean, neat, very organized, very well stocked with just about everything you need. I had to take very little for my stay. My dog really enjoyed himself as well. Would highly recommend.
The property was great . Very clean . It felt very HOMEY as soon as we opened the door . Misti was THE BEST at communicating with me on any questions I had . We will be returning to stay again . We have already checked out all the properties. So we are stoked about any of them .

Peaceful stay in Tiny Cub
If you need a comfy place to lay your head at night, a place to sit on the porch and drink your morning or evening beverage and enjoy the peace and sounds of nature, Tiny Cub is worth checking out. Spent the weekend with a friend where we solved all the world’s problems (and each others, too) on the front porch. The house is compact with all the essentials you need and within 5 minutes of downtown Mentone to grab a tasty meal.

Tiny Cub House is such a gem!!
The new Tiny Cub House was absolutely perfect for our visit to the Mentone area and we were thrilled to be lucky enough to be its first guests! It’s in a quiet, peaceful, wooded area away from the road where you can enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch and sit around the fire pit at night! The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed with everything you could need. They even provided a goody basket upon our arrival with coffee, teas, and snacks. My daughter, pup, and I enjoyed hiking and exploring but we couldn't wait to get back to this incredible, cozy retreat each day! Misti was fabulous to work with on our stay. I Highly reccommend the charming Tiny Cub House. It exceeded our expectations in every way!!
