Piccola House is a thoughtfully designed tiny home retreat at 3,543 ft in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. An artful gate opens to a private stretch of wild-pines-lined drive, where the approach feels like part of the experience and the tiny house reveals itself quietly at the top.
Designed as a base camp for both rest and exploration, days here can be spent chasing waterfalls, hiking, fly fishing, kayaking, gem mining, or exploring Cashiers, Highlands, Brevard, and Sylva—then returning to private decks, a fenced dog yard, firepit, and the calm of the surrounding landscape.

A quiet remembrance garden honoring the woman who once called this land home. Planted with peonies she loved, it sits near the heart of the property—just steps from where she lived and worked the land.
The Original Timbercraft Denali
This is the original Timbercraft Denali — the exact home used as a national showcase model and featured in the press as Timbercraft built its reputation in tiny homes. A home that helped define modern tiny living, reimagined with comfort and curated detail.
Our Story
More than 30 years ago, our family discovered a little slice of heaven in the mountains of Western North Carolina and built Belle Viste—a generational home with sweeping views of Lake Glenville, the surrounding peaks, and pastoral wildflower fields.
When the adjacent land became available, we knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share this magical landscape.
What began as a family home has quietly grown into something we’re now able to share.
The Wild Pines Collection at Lake Glenville was born—two tiny homes, each with its own personality: Piccola House and Volare Blue (voh-LAH-reh), with the option to pair with Belle Viste for larger stays coming soon.
Piccola House means tiny house in Italian—a little gem. Volare means to fly, to explore, to soar—and that’s exactly what these spaces inspire: a sense of freedom, lightness, thoughtful surprises, and connection to something bigger.
We hope your time here feels a little different—in the best way.
