The rental is exactly as described and equipped with everything we'd need for a short stay including dish soap, coffee filters, and make-up wipes. I highly recommend this rental for a trip to the NC mountains.

Tiny house

Well kept space. But small spaces should be optimized for practically, not decor. There was no way to hang clothing and the loft bed was positioned so one had to climb over the other to get out, which was not an easy feat with a 2ft ceiling clearance. A sleeper sofa would be a good addition.

This was my first stay in a tiny home and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I arrived after dark so my navigation and lack of light made my arrival an adventure in itself. I highly advise renters to read the directions carefully and thoroughly. The directions are great so don't skim over them. The living area is spacious and the bathroom was surprisingly big. I was not prepared for the low ceiling height for the sleeping loft but it wasn't a turn-off. I didn't know what to expect anyway. The whole home was spotless and the bed was soooo comfortable. Everything was just as described - hot tub, firepit, stove/oven, amenities. I didn't get to use the hot tub because it rained constantly during my stay. The washer/dryer is a combo unit. It took me a minute to realize that but I think it's a pretty cool perk. The air worked great and, early morning, the electric fireplace worked great, too. Water temp was perfect, toilet worked great and mini fridge did its intended job. Roku TV and the wifi worked great. I want to stay there again - next time when I don't have to be away all day at a conference. I have no complaints at all! Highly recommend! I didn't want to leave!
