The experience starts the moment you start driving up the mountain. We were lucky enjoy to spot a family of black bears coming down the mountain. Once we arrived we knew where to unload and park because Kim was great about communicating in advance. This place is beautiful from the outside (the tiny house matches the modern style of the main house). As some other reviews have noted, the main house is adjacent to the rental but IMO it’s oriented in such a way that you have complete privacy except whenever the owners may possibly enter/exit the driveway but you can close the blinds. The view is amazing on both the first and second floor of this not so tiny, tiny home. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed to cook some nice meals, the water got nice and hot, the bed and couch was comfy.
A few dings,
- No instructions for how to use the hot plate (a quick YouTube search helped me with that)
- Every time I showered I needed to put a towel on the floor because the water would end up outside the shower
- Unique windows, we had some trouble opening them because of the instructions mechanisms
Tips,
- If you visit in winter and like to sleep in colder temperatures, turn the heater off well in advance of going to bed. It gets pretty toasty upstairs.
- Read the instructions left by Kim they aren’t long but helpful
- The coffee table has a lifting mechanism so you can raise it for eating.
- Walk the neighborhood a little to see more of the dt Asheville view.
- If you see someone, say Hi! Whether that’s Kim or a neighbor everyone was friendly.
