Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy getaway This was our first stay in a tiny home and it was lovingly appointed! The decor and finishing touches were great, and we especially appreciated the fresh coffee beans/grinder and area guide. Owners were super responsive as well! Would stay again! ##### Megan T. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas M. Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Ice Cream Binge - No Freezer! Turns out the "Kitchen" is more of a kitchenette! My son and I like to cook, so being that it is a tiny home, we opted for steak and a side of preassembled twice baked potatoes. For dessert we picked up Toffee Klondike bars(6pack), knowing that we would see family the next day and pass the rest on. When we arrived, we modified our meal plan to microwave the second baking of potatoes as twice baked mash potatoes, the steak was great using the induction setup, BUT there was no freezer for the Klondike Bars. When a "Kitchen" was advertised, we assumed a freezer had to be included and maybe a toaster oven or air fryer. Dinner plans got reversed as we got right into eating 6 Klondike bars between the 2 of us before they melted! ##### Thomas M.
