Built for one of my sons and his sweet love to escape his mother's hearing range.... It was built to be inviting to snuggle up in and enjoy. The cottage is comfortable and charming with a newly added bathroom and kitchen area. The back deck faces the morning sun, where you can sit and drink your morning, coffee . Walking distance to shops and restaurants in Middletown. All folks, races, LGBT friendly. This is my charming get away cabin with a loft and deck facing the morning sun. It’s in a private spot with a 6’ tall wooden privacy fence between it and the main house. You will be right in Middletown just a five minute walk to the brewery, La Parilla Mexican and delicious BudhaThai restaurant. Three miles to Harbin! Access to 24/7 WiFi, Which I recently upgraded so it is working better than ever. For all of you who stayed here previously, last summer I moved the Goats and Chickens, and built a covered back deck to keep it cooler in the summer and give you an awesome place to sit outside on the deck in the shade! Sadly the animals are now behind my house instead of the Love Shack. But you can still see birds and an occasional fox in the riverbed. The downstairs mattress is a new, memory foam queen-size bed. Upstairs is a loft with a twin size memory foam mattress for a third person. I do request that if you have a third person with you, you validated they are agile and secure with climbing to the loft. We welcome fun and funky people, LGBT, gay, straight, quiet, meditative folks, yoga practitioners, construction workers, far out hippies, college students, and people of all genres however unique or mainstream. I live next door and can offer suggestions for activities in the area. Harbin is available to book massages and watsu through. If you are wanting to bring a pet of any kind, please make sure you have gotten my written approval. I generally only approve small, non shedding, well trained dogs that will never be left alone for this place. I have another listing, called the "Well House", which is next door, fenced, and more suitable for bigger dogs. Amenities: Sweetness Covered outdoor dining area outdoor table and chairs Queen Size Bed Extra memory foam mattress in loft Hot water boiler full size refrigerator WiFi TV for streaming Hot Shower Desk electric fireplace mini split Heater/ air conditioner 5 Min walk from everything in Middletown, (that tells you how big Middletown is!) 20 Min scenic drive to Calistoga (depending how you take those curves!) 10 Min. to the start of the Palisades trail or Robert Louis Stevenson trail at the top of Mt. St. Helena Love and good energy Private entrance Guests have the whole space, plus deck facing the morning sun, to themselves. Nice and private, (except for Juniper, my goat, who may say hi if you go out on the deck). You can have total privacy here, or I am available to help you if you like. Middletown is a small but thriving community. We embrace, the Harbin New Agers, old back to the earth "hippies", migrant farm workers, ranchers, the Tribe and casino, artists, and many spiritual communities close by. The Valley Fire in 2015 has brought us together in ways we could not have imagined. It is a pleasure to live here and feel the community grow together. Walk to the brewery, Thai restaurant, Middletown Art Center, Library, Senior center, two Mexican restaurants, and two morning breakfast cafes. Calistoga with all it's restaurants, mud-baths, hot springs, cryotherapy and stores is 20 minutes away. Amazing hiking is 10 minutes away at Robert Louis Stevenson park, or Anderson Marsh. Biking and hiking up at Boggs Forest. And, the ineffable, Harbin Hot Springs is three miles away. Please make sure, if you want to bring a pet with you, that you have written to me and gotten my permission before booking. Please check out my listing, The Well House, if you have anything but a small well trained dog. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114820000/114812100/114812066/1fe729c3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Garden house with gas fireplace Middletown - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review £175 includes taxes & fees 5 Oct - 6 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=114812066&PinnedHotelID=114812066&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114820000/114812100/114812074/b24dc66c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tangerine Cottage spacious home Middletown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning £228 includes taxes & fees 5 Oct - 6 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=114812074&PinnedHotelID=114812074&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95830000/95820900/95820845/41c12044.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cobb Mountain Chalet King Size Suite Cobb - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 23 reviews £109 includes taxes & fees 1 Oct - 2 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=95820845&PinnedHotelID=95820845&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114820000/114812100/114812058/3c128e2c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Emerald Lodge quiet efficiency Middletown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review £196 includes taxes & fees 1 Oct - 2 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=114812058&PinnedHotelID=114812058&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Meeting facility](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32920000/32911400/32911370/6ce55127.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mandala Springs Wellness Retreat Center Kelseyville - Pool - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.6 Excellent 27 reviews £188 includes taxes & fees 1 Oct - 2 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=32911370&PinnedHotelID=32911370&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107290000/107288000/107287916/0ebf0d97.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Fainting Couch Boutique Hotel Cobb - Pool - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 34 reviews £119 includes taxes & fees 27 Oct - 28 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=107287916&PinnedHotelID=107287916&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74130000/74125500/74125433/be309b22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Mountain Getaway with amazing views Loch Lomond - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=74125433&PinnedHotelID=74125433&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118100000/118094300/118094247/1782dfa7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Well House with outdoor seating and loft!
