The Nest will give it to you. From the outside, it looks like a chicken coop. But it’s only a third for birds; the other two-thirds can house humans.
“It’s been fun. It’s been a riot,” Amundsen said.
He and a few others built both Airbnbs themselves from the ground up. The Nest is a small, bare house. It is powered by a few solar panels and a lithium battery. Customers bring their own bedding. But it does offer an up-close “peek” into life on the farm.
“I think there’s a deficit for people. There’s this idea that I just go to the store and grab something. Well, there’s not. The food has to come from somewhere “, said Amundsen. “And I think seeing it and doing it, you appreciate how much work it is, but more than that, how sensitive you are to Mother Nature.”
When you stay, you can get as involved as you want with Locally Laid and Farm LoLa. There are options to collect eggs, tend birds, tend berry fields, or just hang out and play.
Amundsen said it was a great opportunity for people interested in agriculture to get a taste.
“It’s an opportunity for you to say, ‘Yeah, that’s for me,’ or what we call birth control on the farm, like, ‘No, I’ve had enough. I will not try. No thank you,'” he said.
If your style includes a little poultry parting, there’s The Perch.
“There’s electricity, there’s a freezer, a fridge,” Amundsen said. “We have water. You can do some basic cooking here.”
It also includes a dining area, sofa and a loft bedroom with views of the 14 acres of berry plants.
“I think people are going to have a really positive experience here,” Amundsen said.
The Nest is around $60 per night and a stay at The Perch is around $160.
