On-site horse trailer: In addition to the tiny house, Carol's horse trailer can sometimes be used by guests. The trailer is very small, with a 4 foot short wall, and will sleep one or two people in the double bed in the gooseneck. Trailer has a small refrigerator, shower, sink, porta potty, USB charger, microwave, and cooking unit (shown). It rents for $50 per night. Contact us in advance.
