The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### simon c. 10 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My first Tiny Away I was interested to experience the Tiny Away model. Essentially a very well equipped small mobile home set up by Tiny Away on a hosts property. It means you get isolation and rural locations that would otherwise not be possible.The concept is absolutely great for a short stay and perfect if you, as I was, are looking for somewhere to stop for a night or two on a road trip.The fact that the “host” is both Tiny away and the local property owner is a bit confusing and listing details failed to spell out that there is no internet at the unit. However, in general, it is an experience I would repeat in the right circumstances. ##### simon c.
