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.

The shops carry local honey, soap, lotions, tinctures, balms & oils, handmade cloths, hats, bags, wax wraps, & locally roasted coffee, plus laundry strips, produce bags(great for morels) & other zero waste items.

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.

Kitchen On LaFayette has delicious lunches & dinners on specific days(check their Facebook page). King's Wok is a great local Chinese food restaurant. Several Mexican restaurants in Anna have a variety of options. Other restaurants/caterers, food trucks, special dinners & music events with food are plentiful in the Southernmost Illinois area.
