It is a practical cabin for someone who understands simple living and wants a place where small can be enough.
Current Rate
$250 per week
or
$900 per month
Terms, deposit, access, expectations, and availability will be discussed before any agreement is made.

Bringing or Building a Cabin
If you are interested in leasing a lot and placing or building a cabin, the cabin must be approved in advance.
Oak Hollow is not open to just any structure being placed anywhere.
Cabins must fit the setting, the lot, and the larger Oak Hollow vision.
Before moving forward, we would need to discuss:
- the size of the cabin
- the type of cabin
- how it would be delivered or built
- where it would be placed
- how it would be powered
- how water would be handled
- how toilet and waste systems would be handled
- how the cabin would look from the road or shared areas
- how the arrangement would fit Oak Hollow’s long-term plan
The goal is not to make the process difficult.
The goal is to protect the quiet, simple character of Oak Hollow for everyone.
Practical Systems
Simple living at Oak Hollow requires realistic expectations.
Depending on the cabin, lot, and specific agreement, daily life may involve systems such as:
- generator use
- battery-first power
- propane heat
- water hauling or shared water access
- composting toilets or other approved toilet systems
- shared support spaces
- careful parking and access arrangements
- maintaining the cabin site
- respecting quiet, privacy, and common areas
Oak Hollow is not designed for people who want every system fully built in and handled for them.
It is designed for people who are willing to participate in a simpler way of living.
Shared Support Spaces
Part of the Oak Hollow idea includes shared practical support.
Depending on the arrangement and availability, shared support spaces may include access to things such as:
- kitchen
- dining space
- bathroom with shower
- laundry
- water access
- charging
- quiet indoor space
Specific Hub access terms will be explained before any rental, lot lease, or other agreement is signed.
The goal is to make simple cabin living more practical while keeping the cabins themselves small, quiet, and affordable.
