"This tiny house was a novelty but I don't think it was worth it for the price. The host was very nice but I'm glad we only stayed here one night because the wind was so strong it sounded like the house was going to be blown to bits in the middle of the night. My husband couldn't stand up in the shower and the water turned freezing cold very fast. The bed was also hard and we could feel the springs in the mattress. Again it was fun for a night, but it was our least restful night of the whole week...
