Valentines weekend

Was a very pretty and comfortable cabin! It’s small size adds to its charm making it feel homey. Despite its appearance, it doesn’t feel cramped and the kitchen and bathroom are very spacious!! Would really recommend this as a perfect spot for a getaway weekend!! The hosts were very accommodating and inviting as well!

Just perfect!

The tiny home was adorable! The owners have thought of everything. There’s a beautiful view of the valley across the road. It’s in a wonderful location to explore Highlands, Dillard, Cashiers, and Clayton. Can’t wait to return!!

Relaxing, cozy getaway

My husband and I had such a relaxing stay for a long weekend at the tiny home cabin. It was beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. Comfortable bed. It was centrally located between Dillard and The Highlands (which we visited several times). It was in a quiet neighborhood, and we would definitely stay again.
