Comfortable beds and warm hot tub. Really beautiful when the smoke rolls in. Everything is well thought out and the kitchen and bathroom is well stocked with anything you need. Out of town but just far enough to get away. Easy to get into the park. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Little Dipper! So cute and incredibly clean and comfortable. This was our first time staying in a tiny home and it was more room than expected! Nick was a great host, checking on us periodically to see if we needed anything. Best part was the hot tub in the evening. Definitely hope to be able to return!

Quiet Hideaway
Super cute tiny house in Walland, TN. Easy driving distance to the Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding fly fishing areas. The tiny house is nicely stocked and a nice deck to watch the stars and sunrises!
