My parents stayed in the tiny home which is tucked away from the street and affords some privacy.
Overall, the tiny home was just the right amount of space for a short-term stay (5 days). It was essentially a place to sleep and eat breakfast. It was clean and modern which was nice. The keyless door is always a plus so you don’t have to worry about walking around with the key.
The only two things to consider for change would be to trim down the plants along the walkway to the tiny home. They’re beautiful, but some were so long that you’ll have to dodge them every time you pass by. Also, at night feeling something (i.e. the plants) suddenly rub against you can be kind of unsettling.
The other thing was the house manual highlights fees for breaking any of the house rules, which felt a bit a strict. While the unit is separate from the house, my parents still felt like they had to be “seen and not heard.” I don’t think that that was the intention of the rules, but my parents were hyperaware of their movements coming and going each day so they wouldn’t be charged at the end of the stay. Perhaps the entrance gate could be updated in a way so it doesn’t make noise if it closes accidentally on it’s own. The only time it snapped back was during their move-in, and that was highlighted in a written reminder by the host which made them feel like they had to “tiptoe” around the property so they wouldn’t “break any more rules”.
Communicated rules are important which were provided, but unless there’s a pattern of breaking them, highlighting a minor mistake can sometimes send the wrong message even though I’m sure that wasn’t the intention.
