About this property

Tiny House on Top of a Hill: SPECTACULAR VIEWS!

My place, a custom build from HGTV-featured tiny house builder Randy Jones, is on a ridge with unparalleled, 270-degree views of Grandfather Mountain, all three area ski resorts, and on in to Tennessee and Virginia's Mount Rogers. We're located 20 minutes from Boone and West Jefferson, and closer than that to the Blue Ridge Parkway and New River activities like fishing and tubing. If you've considered downsizing, or you just want to give living tiny a try for a getaway, this is the place!

Please note that the reviews for this tiny house before 2020 are from its old location just down the road in Todd, NC. HomeAway/VRBO required me to start a new listing due to the change in address, though I got to keep the reviews. It's the same great tiny house, now with VIEWS!

The tiny house is in a quiet spot on top of a hill with just four other properties (a second tiny house on wheels and two small, stick-built cabins). Alone, the tiny house is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with a kid or two), and dogs. You can rent the whole mountain top for events. Combined, the four properties can accommodate 16 people.

The tiny house features wifi, a smart TV, a stocked kitchen with a real range and fridge. The spacious bathroom is stocked with toiletries and linens. There is a sleeping loft accessed by steps, no ladder required, and two sofas that convert to beds. The space is cooled and heated efficiently by a mini-split heat pump. There are lots of windows to enjoy your surroundings as well as a deck with a custom bench and table made from reclaimed materials.

In the event of snowfall, four-wheel drive and experience driving in snow is an absolute must to go the last 1/2 mile or so to the house. If snow is forecast for your stay and you do not feel comfortable trying to access the property, you will be offered a full refund. However, if you're feeling adventurous, you could definitely hike the last bit or maybe even catch a ride on a side-by-side ATV.

Wonderful Getaway
This was a great little property to enjoy the mountains. Conveniently located close to multiple cities/towns, yet just far enough away to give you that secluded feeling. Hopefully I'll be back soon!

Fantastic Stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Dave’s place. The property was very clean and the views were amazing! Dave was also very accommodating to adding a couple of nights on to our stay. We highly recommend this property and hope to stay again, the next time we are in the area.

Cute small space
This tiny house was comfortable for my husband and me with all the comforts of a much larger space. We enjoyed the views and hearing the rain falling on the roof. We hope to return to stay here again soon!

The property is beautiful, it overlooks the mountains, and it sits on a tree farm. My 2 grandbabies loved the house and looking out of the top story windows. The neighbor was a delight to talk to and gave us some history of the property. We will stay here again.

Team V's stay in a Tiny Home on top of Fleetwood
Great view! The location of this Tiny Home is excellent. Getting to it may be challenging for some once the paved road ends. Inside is compact, but efficiently built. Water pressure seemed to drop when other nearby units are occupied, but good otherwise. Thank you for the stay.

Tiny house
Everything was really nice. My only issues were the stove was very hard to use. Indicators have been rubbed off. The road was one way and was troublesome to get caught on. One time I had to back up down this mountainous road. It is a one way road. Meeting another vehicle is troublesome. I think a different mattress in the big loft would be better. I absolutely will stay there again. It will be my go to location

Back to Nature
This is a cozy tiny home just right for someone wanting to get away from the bustle of town and enjoy the sights of nature. The loft beds add a touch that most kids will be excited about. Adults, too, should be ready to climb up! But if you choose to stay on the lower level, the futon does make a comfortable bed.

WOW this location is stunning!
We might plan a trip to Boone NC just to stay in this space again! It is about a 20 minute drive from downtown Boone, but a very easy one. The instructions for arriving at this location were perfectly handled and very easy to follow. We felt like we were alone on top of a mountain the entire stay and it was magical waking up to. The space was meticulously cleaned and smelled amazing. More than enough was provided for our stay and there is plenty of space inside and outside of the home. There are three other tiny homes on this hill but no one was present the entire stay and I could not find that any of these spaces were listed on VRBO or elsewhere. It would be a fantastic spot for a group of ppl if you were interested in occupying the entire hill, but having it to ourselves seemed so special!

Amazing place for a little getaway. No negative things to say at all. Very cute, very clean. Awesome views. Host contacted me a few times just to check in and always responded super quickly!

Great Little House!
Check-in was seamless, house was clean, all appliances worked well....would recommend. This house is located off the beaten path and has amazing views. My son and I were riding the Blue Ridge Parkway on our motorcycles and chose this as a stopping point. We bought a few groceries at a nearby Food Lion and cooked burgers on the grill while enjoying a crazy cool sunset. The views from the deck of this house are simply stunning. Quick note for full transparency: Some of the pictures on VRBO *could* lead one to believe that this house is by itself, but there are 3 more tiny houses on the same property very close to this one. Wasn't a problem for us at all but I could see it being an issue if you happen to have unruly neighbors renting the other houses. We absolutely loved our stay at this tiny house and would definitely do it again!

Excellent mountain tiny house!
The view is amazing! You do have to take a tiny mountainous gravel road to get there. It is one of 4 tiny houses on the overlook (and it has the best view!). The house is clean. It has everything you need. It’s great to sit out on the porch and look at the mountains. We visited Boone and Grandfather Mountain during our 2 day visit. Highly recommended.

Exactly what I was hoping for
I had been curious about seeing a Tiny House and this didnt disappoint. Everything we needed was included and well organized and the location felt remote yet was only a 20 min drive to Boone which is a lively town. The view was spectacular and the property was shared with only a couple of other rentals. I was also surprised to have decent cellular service as well as wi-fi available. I would definitely recommend.
