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.

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!!
