In Wellsville, Utah sits a little hobby farm with gardens, sheep, chickens, pigs, and an orchard. Back among the young trees is this little off-grid Grove Cottage, which you can rent on Airbnb!
It has a covered porch with an idyllic porch swing, and inside you’ll find sleeping for up to 6 between a King-sized bed, queen sleeper sofa, and loft for kids. Keep warm with the wood stove, or roast s’mores over the fire outside. There’s no kitchen or indoor plumbing, but you’ll find a composting toilet, outdoor shower and washing station on the side of the house.
You can also cook up burgers on the grill, and store drinks in the complementary cooler. Enjoy the photo tour of this lovely spot below.

It’s kinda cute but goodness, with just a few changes, it could have been even nicer. First and foremost, putting a small add-on at the back to accommodate having the shower and toilet indoors would make it much more appealing for more of the year. It seems to me that there is a loss of revenue…not to mention comfort…because they didn’t make that investment. I personally think that they could have used some upgraded materials but I also know that budget can put restraints on that. Framing that stone work on the front of the house could go away. Just have the stones with maybe a nice piece of wood across the top and it would look like everyone’s favorite river rock fireplace kind of finish. Make a small patio out of stones or wood for the BBQ and a few chairs for relaxing outside and that would be a huge improvement, too. It sleeps a lot of people for such a small place and holy moly, the view is to die for! If the price is right, it will attract a lot of visitors and with a few improvements and upgrades, even more will come! Make it usable for more seasons and the income it could produce would be greatly enhanced.
Yes those are some great thoughts, Donna.
@Donna Rae – Something to keep in mind, depending where the property is located, is that there are often reasons why people may be inclined to want to avoid putting the kitchen and bathroom in the same structure or put in standard versions…
Normally, if you can build a structure under a certain minimum sq ft of usually 200 Sq Ft or less, again depending on location what that limit will be, then you can usually be exempt from needing building permits, inspections, impact fees, etc. Since, most municipalities, there are rare exceptions, don’t usually enforce regulations on what can generically be considered sheds, regardless of how you’re actually using it, which can significantly keep costs much lower than they otherwise would be…
However, many municipalities have it that is only if the structure doesn’t have any plumbing, or namely a fully functional kitchen and bathroom that are internal parts of the structure.
Some areas can also limit how many kitchens can be on a single property, which could be a issue if there’s a main structure/home and this is the addition, if the property zoning only allows for one… It’s one of the reasons some are trying to get rid of single family zoning, for example… Among other examples of issues people can be facing in what they have to deal with in their location, like triggering the need for permits may also mean dealing with minimum sq ft requirements that may exclude anything this size…
So keep in mind things are sometimes done to get around such issues…
Love this home, it’s inside and out. But does anyone know where I can buy the Hope Chest is from? The hand carving design is beautiful, would love to know where I can buy one. My Son Law is great with wood but I Dont like to bother him to build me one. Beautiful home inside and out. Great job guys, have fun
The link to AirBnB doesn’t work, I get an error.
That appears to be a recurring issue with AirBNB… May clear up later…
