We had a blast. The community was great and there was so much to do around the area! It was a pleasant surprise. It was super helpful having the resource which showed us all the different things that were close. Simply the best. This place was like a little diamond in the rough. We would and are definitely planning on coming back again! ##### Stan P. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris L. 18 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super cute Everything was as advertised. We did have some minor issues with the heating unit but we figured it out eventually. Also, the dishwasher did not work but we only needed it at the end of our stay. I'm sure it'll get fixed. ##### Chris L. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah C. 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy tiny house with potential but some drawbacks My daughter and I stayed at this tiny house for a girls' getaway and hiking weekend. The space itself was small and minimalist, which we expected and enjoyed for the most part. The records and board games were a thoughtful touch, adding a bit of charm and entertainment to our stay. The community was charming, and I could see it being very bustling in the summer. However, there were a few issues that took away from the experience. The chairs in the house were quite uncomfortable, leaving no real place to sit and relax besides lying on the bed, which fortunately was comfortable. The shower also had a very slow drain, and when we arrived, the place felt a bit dusty, making it seem like it hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly before our visit. There were also many beetles and stink bugs inside the house that my daughter relocated to the outside. Additionally, the front step is angled so steeply that it felt a bit unsafe. Overall, this tiny house has a lot of potential, but a few improvements in cleanliness, furniture, and maintenance would make it much more enjoyable. ##### Deborah C.
