We had a lovely stay at the Tiny House! Conveniently located, but still plenty of privacy and quiet! It was SO nice to have a place we could bring our small dog. The space is compact but well-designed, and we had all that we needed throughout our stay. Though we didn’t have a chance to use it much, the fire pit and outdoor area was very nice. Will definitely return next time we’re in town!

Andrea was very responsive and friendly. The place was lovely, and I had a wonderful, restful writer vacation! The space is welcoming and cozy. One suggestion... if advertising as the Tiny Tarheel (which I love!), it could be a nice touch to offer a sports channel so guests can watch the Tarheel game of the season. I highly recommend this place!

Great spot outside of town!!

The tiny home was a lovely spot for my husband, myself and our big dog! It's just off 15-501 so while there isn't a sidewalk right there, you can scoot on down to Poplar for a nice saunter with your pup. The property was beautiful and clean and everything we needed. - a small kitchenette, a lovely shower/bathroom and plenty of room to move around. Admittedly we live in the mountains so it was a bit too wark for us to sit outside but the front area is so cute with a few chairs and a cozy hammock. Can't wait to return here in the future!
