Tina's Tiny Home

I love staying here and it great for those who are coming back to their old hometowns for a visit. The house was just the right size for me and was neat and clean when I got there. I had no issues getting in touch with the owner when I needed something. The only thing that may cause some issues with some customers would be the train that goes by bit to be honest, I never noticed it and it never woke me up at night. I would definitely look into renting out this home again in the future when I head back to my hometown again.

Tiny but comfy and convenient!

I've never understood the tiny house movement. After staying here, I'm convinced it'd be a terrible way to live. But, it's perfect for transient lodging. What's uncomfortably small for a dwelling, makes for a spacious hotel room. Renee is a fantastic host. She's set up the property for maximum comfort and efficiency. She even has a laminated printout with detailed information on the amenities as well as stickers and labels so you can find things quickly and easily. Something prospective lodgers should be aware of: there's no internet access at the house. There is a access point for Xfinity customers, but the signal is fairly weak in the house - I couldn't get a solid connection for streaming, but the connection would be good enough for simple email etc. Verizon has a strong signal there though, and I had no trouble using a hot spot. This will be my preferred stay next time in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Renee Sommer

Why they chose this property

Tina's Tiny House, was a one chair barber shop when originally built in the 1950s. By 2010 Tina's Family Cuts was only a part time beauty shop. In 2017 as the craze for tiny homes started sweeping TV and the country, the beauty shop was transformed into a tiny home. Approximately the size of a typical motel room, the entire house is just at 300 SF. If you need to be in the area for business, pleasure, family, passing thru, or just curious if you could successfully downsize, try this tiny house on for size.
