Tiny House of Paul was an idea sparked when Paul and Bonnie were having coffee one morning in the main house. Bonnie commented on how much time they spent in front of that window with it's beautiful view. Paul got out his design book and the rest, as they say, is history.

You're welcome to store food in the freezer at the main house. We also have a large fridge/freezer at the back of the woodshop.
Our Shops: Bonnie owns Cobden Village Shops in downtown Cobden, where you'll find Equal Exchange coffee, dark chocolate, teas, cashews, almonds, olive oil & dried mangoes. The shops carry local honey, soap, handmade cloths, & coffee, plus laundry strips, produce bags(great for morels) & other zero waste items. Local art & artisan wares, vintage items(including clothes), antiques, gently used or almost new plus upcycled and refurbished items.

Cobden has several good places to eat including:
Iron Whisk -an almost famous place for breakfast or lunch. Open 8am - 2pm Thurs-Sun
Taqueria Pequena - a famous traditional taco stand. Open 11 - 3pm everyday except Sunday. They just celebrated 20 years in 2024.

Fish Fry on Fridays in the spring Catholic church in Cobden. Peach Festival is the second weekend in August. Christmas Village is the first Saturday in December. There are several good places to eat nearby including Fork & Vine, Owl Creek Vineyard, Peachbarn Cafe and more in the area. Most wineries & breweries have food with some having full-service. I recommend Kiki's Cafe in Anna for locally roasted coffee and yummy simple food options. Other restaurants/caterers, food trucks, special dinners & music events with food are plentiful in the Southernmost Illinois area. Carbondale is about a 20-25 minute drive and offers a nice selection of restaurants as well.
