Off-Grid, But Make It Comfortable

Celestial Haven is powered by solar and supplied with natural spring water directly from the tap. It is an eco-conscious retreat that still feels luxurious, with heating, cooling, hot showers, a proper kitchen, and 240V power outlets.

Guests simply need to be mindful of energy use, such as avoiding running energy-heavy appliances at the same time (for example, a toaster, a portable heater, and a split system together).

It offers the best of both worlds:
🌿 Sustainable, low-impact living
🛏️ Hotel-style comfort in nature

Prefer a ground-floor bedroom and large picture windows? Our sister stay, “Quantum Field,” is located in total privacy just across the property. Same peaceful setting and modern comfort, perfect if you prefer single-level living with forest views from bed.

As an added note, there may be other guests on the property as we also accommodate campers. We'd also like to remind guests that this is a limited solar-powered tiny house, and we highly recommend saving energy for the entire stay.

Guest Access:
Guests have full access to Celestial Haven Tiny House and the surrounding areas. The host’s private residence and shed are located elsewhere on the property and do not impact privacy. Occasionally, campers may be present at a respectful distance.

This accommodation features a mezzanine loft bedroom accessed via steps. For safety reasons, it may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues or young children. Guests accept responsibility for their safety when using the stairs. The host is not liable for any incidents related to stair use.

NOTICE TO ALL: No Need to bring bottled water! Our holiday homes are supplied with fresh mountain water from a natural underground stream. It's safe to drink straight from the tap, and we hope you love it. Feel free to take some with you and help us reduce plastic waste. Thank you!
