Dad tasked with booking family holiday left howling after booking ‘doll’s house’
A family were left in hysterics after their dad accidentally booked a 'doll's house' for the four of them to stay in while on holiday with their two dogs.
JJ Keefe, his wife Erika, and his two adult children, Aidan and Kylie, were on their way to Canton in New York, US, to drop Aidan off at university and had decided to spend some time in the area.
The dad had found some cheap rental accommodation which slept four people in the Adondiracks, northern New York, and booked it thinking he had found a good deal – but quickly realised his blunder upon their arrival.

Instead of the large property he had pictured, he was met with a tiny blue house, measuring just 114 square feet downstairs with a tiny 96 square foot loft.
The family were left in stitches as they pulled up the 'doll's house', as JJ's daughter Kylie, 25, said: "My dad saw that it slept four and the cheap price and booked it with no second thought.
"We all laughed when we pulled in and saw the size of the home."
Not wanting his family to stay in the cramped rental property, JJ paid for Kylie and her brother to stay in a nearby hotel.
However, he and his wife made use of the small space he had initially booked with their pets.
"My dad and stepmum, Erika Keefe, did stay in the tiny home with the two dogs," Kylie added.
"They said the home was very cramped, but we were all laughing for pretty much our entire trip so it didn't bother them to stay there."

And after the video that Kylie posted on TikTok about the ordeal went viral and garnered over 32million views, several brands stepped up to get involved and help the family out – including Hilton Hotels, Airbnb, and fast food chain Arby's.
Kylie explained: "When I saw the responses from Arby's, Hilton and Airbnb, I was shocked, but thought it was hilarious.
"All of the companies were incredibly generous to me and have made this one of the craziest experiences of my life thus far."
