Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to see a sectioned off area at the front of the house, decorated with string lights, where the hot tub is located. We were thrilled by the thought and attention to detail the hosts put into creating this introduction to their property. Parking was in the rear of the tiny house. As we entered the space, we noticed the hosts kindly left some ambient lighting on for us. We had never stayed in a tiny house before and were impressed by the design and cleanliness.
We love the pull down table! You can tell everything in the tiny house was made with love and care, especially the pull down table, that in its upright position is a central piece of art for the house. The lofted beds added a lot of character and so did the lighting. It was giving us a glamping vibe. The bathroom was comfortably sized and so was the shower. It takes a little bit for the water to heat up and we never felt like it got super hot but the whole point of the stay was not to spent all day in the shower anyway. The toilet was cool! No other words or opinions on that! The space was cool do to an air conditioning unit. Lots of towels, appliances, and dishes (if you are cooking).
Some room for improvement:
we could not find any flatware in the house so I was left stirring my coffee with a paring knife.
On the front door, it would be nice to have a curtain or something to cover the fully glass front door for privacy, as changing in the main entrance left us exposed to anyone passing by on the street.
This is a little more of a picky thought but the curtains in the center windows are too short to cover the whole window, so it is very bright in the morning.
Lastly, I don’t quite understand why the cleaning fee is so much when the host had sent us a message to wipe down the counters and bag up inside/outside garbages. I can understand the general picking up after oneself when leaving but this this seemed to ask a lot when there was already a $60 cleani fee. This combined with a 10am checkout, left us rushing to do what the host asked and get ready for the day. If possible, we might suggest a more common check out time of 11am.
Overall, the stay was excellent. The hosts thought of everything and that hot tub was the highlight of the stay. We went in both nights and are even considering purchasing a similarly sized hot tub for our own yard. There was coffee and tea provided, the bed was comfortable, there was ample space, and lastly it was one of the coolest places we’ve stayed in. We 100% recommend this space to anyone. The hosts also offer a couple other unique stays on their property, which I believe most, if not all, have that glorious hot tub! Thank you for this amazing stay in North Carolina!
