The tiny home was surprisingly cozy and spacious; I couldn't believe how much room we had! It had everything we needed, plus an impressive outdoor shower. It rained all night, and watching the downpour through the big window felt like a movie. It was such a romantic, cozy escape for my husband and me.

This place has so much potential for lots of fun on the weekends, but during the week and for sole travelers, I would steer clear since there are no nearby restaurants or places to go except the pool.

Cute spot. More of a glorified trailer park then we though it would be. Bars are only open on weekends and lobby closes early so if you need provisions bring them with you.

We travel a lot and we travel to some of the best destinations you can imagine. I have not been so surprise in a good way in quite some time. The level of organic hospitality, natural beauty, amenities and intentionality was on a level of its own. Bravo to the hosts and crew that made ours stay such a win for our anniversary.
