As a single traveler, I felt very safe in the tiny house. It sits in the back yard of a home in a subdivision, and has a deadbolt. Katie gave very detailed instructions concerning arrival, which made everything very smooth. The tiny house experience was great! Katie has thought of tons of little details that make staying here a pleasure; with room at a premium, she provides a hot plate (I cooked my breakfast) and basic dishes. It is perfectly clean, and decorated nicely. She's posted detailed instructions for the shower, compost toilet, and heater. As Katie says, make sure you are capable of climbing a ladder and crawling into the small loft space; the bed is comfortable and is plenty roomy for one person, but you would have to be *very* short in order to sit up. I tend toward claustrophobia, but was determined to give this a try, and was glad for the skylight above the bed! I loved looking out at the sky from the bed. If my travels bring me back this way, I would certainly try to book the tiny house again.
