About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This one of a kind 420 square ft tiny house is truly a rural Minnesota sanctuary! Nestled away in the quiet little town of Hewitt (pop 252), this artistically designed home and large fenced in yard will make you never want to return to big city life. With plenty of natural light, a spacious kitchen with large fridge/freezer, full sized electric stove, reverse osmosis drinking water fountain, high speed wired internet, queen size zero gravity bed, pullout full sized hide-a-bed, gas fireplace and washer and dryer; you have the necessary amenities to spend one cozy night or settle in for an entire week or more!

Yes this funky house is adorable, but what about the enormous yard including unique gardens, hammock, bee hives and fire pit! You, your family and pet(s) are able to roam free without a leash in your bare feet and depending on the season may be able to enjoy some of nature's bounty from the organic gardens and fruit trees. Bicycles and cross country skis are available for use on the trail located directly across the street and don't forget to bring your fishing pole to catch trout from the mighty Wing River that runs through town!

Quick getaway

We stayed in Hewitt because it was near Eagle Bend where we attended a wedding. This house was perfect. Not only was it close, it was all we needed. House is very charming and clean. Bed was comfortable. Owner communication is great. Thank you Michael for everything. If we come back to the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Rough start, ended up just fine

Easy to find. Street parking was fine. Although I had confirmation of booking and a traded a couple messages with the host, I was unable to unlock the door when I arrived. Called the host who walked right over. He said he didn’t know I was coming, but the place was ready and he gave me a new code to access the property. Due to not preparing for my arrival, AC was not on but after a few hours the indoor temp was fine. Place was quiet and clean.

A Sweet Cozy Cottage

This was my second stay at the Hollyhock House in Hewitt. Both times I was very comfortable, as were my family with me. The little house has a personality of its own, welcoming and interesting. I will be sure to come back again when visiting family in the area.

Rural, quiet and cozy

We were in town for a wedding and decided to extend our stay. It’s a great option for a single person or a couple who wants to relax and reconnect/decompress since there is no TV or WiFi. We used the Ethernet cord with our iPad as needed and that worked well. Our dogs loved the huge yard which had a privacy fence. We enjoyed the hammock a bit but I would suggest bringing your own lawn chairs. The town is very small with only a bar/restaurant but there are several towns within 10 minutes that are a bit larger. Well taken care of and had all the basic necessities. Yard is shared with owner but when we used it we were the only ones out there. Definitely recommend.

We loved our stay here SO MUCH!!!! There is nothing we needed and didn’t have! It’s so cute and clean. My dog Frank and his dog friend Rupert were so happy in the big yard. Michael is so friendly and I felt very safe. This was such a great experience!

Truly relaxing

Michael made our stay wonderful. There were so many thoughtful gestures, such a bowl of water ready for the dog and cucumbers from his garden. The house is charming and filled with art and a really inviting ambience. We had everything we needed at hand, and the check-in/check-out process was seamless. We definitely want to return, hopefully soon!

A little bit of home...on the road

This is a beautiful respite for wandering travelers. Very purposefully setup cottage which is not merely functional and practical it is also a real peaceful stop. Our host was warm and welcoming. Thank you. The setting was quiet and comfortable. Thank you. The beautiful region of farmland and small towns, each with their proprietor's own twist on coffee shops were just great. Thank you. Center of nowhere with so much of everything near or close by. Thank you.

Do it in Hewitt

Michael is an amazing host. The Hollyhock Hewitt place is charming, super clean, a little quirky and quiet. There is a super comfortable adjustable bed. We did bring our own premium sheets. Michael invited us to a sound meditation with Tibetan bowls. The class is above his residence next door. We where very fortunate this was going on during our stay. Michael is very responsive and still maintains your privacy during your stay. Michael is an avid gardener and shared the gift of sweet grass plants for us to take home. Thanks Michael for hosting us.

Peaceful break from our road trip

This is our second time staying at Michael’s and it was as nice as the first. The yard space was a great place for us and our dogs to relax after a 14 hour drive and we got a great night sleep. Can’t wait to use the honey Michael left us!

Great place for us and our dog

We love that this place has a big fenced in yard for our dog. It's also close to two state parks- close enough to get away for the day. Michael was great about checking in with us so that he didn't spook our very anxious dog while outside. We would stay here again.

Just what was needed in an area lacking good options

We were heading to Wadena, MN to visit family, and have always struggled with where to stay. There never seems to be any decent accommodations available within a 45 minute drive if Wadena, and that would just be a pain to have to drive so much at the start and end of each day of our stay. This year though, we stumbled upon this little cottage, it was just what we needed, a nice quiet and clean place to spend the nights and was only about a 15 minute drive from our family. In addition, Michael who runs the property was very responsive and helpful to a few questions and requests we had during our stay. I was very glad to have found this property and will definitely look for it the next time we come out to visit family again. Thanks Michael! :)
