Yes, there's a way to get the stick. There was much more content to the right of the house (which I unfortunately failed to clarify). Find a tall log right of the house (the house that closes the game if you sleep in the bed as a troll), interact with it with spacebar, and go through the dialogue. It should give you a stick. Sorry for intentionally making the game a bit confusing. I should have made an NPC clarify where to go. Oh yeah, I knew that was a bug right after release, the bed shouldn't give you a stick, and I forgot to patch it. I am so sorry for being such a jerk with my game design. At least I'm helping you out instead of ignoring you or saying you're wrong about the bug.
