About this property

Shiny Tiny -Lake Neely Henry Access

This one of a kind vacation property is a former Vintage Portable Dental Trailer converted by the builder/owner to a 460 sf Shiny Tiny Cottage, located between Ashville and Rainbow City, AL, at the end of a country road. Launch your boat at the Canoe Creek Boat Launch, 1.5 miles away and spend your days fishing or boating on beautiful Lake Neely Henry! There is plenty of boat parking on the property and this is a great home base for fishing tournaments. The Shiny Tiny is the owner's guesthouse, 200' from the main home, and shares a driveway, pier and yard with them - privacy, but nearby assistance should you need it!

The Shiny Tiny features a Master Bedroom on the main level with quality linens and comfy memory foam queen bed. A convenient fold down computer desk, perfect for remote work or learning, is located in the bedroom, away from the living area. Dedicated Wireless internet is available throughout the home. The bedroom also has a 32' smart tv, under bed storage drawers, a ceiling fan, fold down luggage rack & small closet & dresser. A cute full Bath with European shower, vanity & toilet is just off the bedroom. The Full Kitchen & cozy Living Room have a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan & french doors to the private screened porch. The yellow ottoman in the living room unfolds to a 72" twin for extra sleeping options. The Kitchen has built-in 24" oven, microwave, 4 burner induction cooktop, large sink, Keurig, toaster, refrigerator/freezer, granite & wood counters & eating bar with seating for 4. The Living room has a small comfortable sectional couch. Play games, converse, watch a movie, read or relax, with an electric fireplace, 60" smart TV & ceiling fan. The screened porch overlooks the pastural yard & has a ceiling fan, comfortable furnishings & dining table for two. There is a loft with two twin beds, 4' ceiling and is accessible by a moveable ship's ladder - cozy for kids! The loft has an additional portable air conditioner to keep it cool & comfortable even during the hottest months. The Shiny Tiny is pet friendly with huge yard where friendly, obedient pups are welcome to play off lead. New in 2023 - a fenced dog yard with 32" high fencing, accessible by pups via ramp from the screened porch (suitable for small - medium pups.)

Stroll down to the lake for a swim off the dock, kayaking (ask us to borrow ours!) or boating (byoboat!) - gaze at a night sky hosting a million stars - not visible with city lights! Sit by the cozy firepit (firewood provided) and enjoy the partyights, hoot owls & crickets...Located near wineries, Lake Neely Henry, Canoe Creek Boat Launch, Noccalulla Falls, Cherokee Rock Village, Chief Ladiga Trail, Jacksonville State University, Alabama International Dragway, Talladega Motor Speedway, Horsepens 40, Tigers for Tomorrow, antiquing & other adventures, the Shiny Tiny is a great getaway or home away from home for fishing tournaments, weddings or events.

Linens, towels, paper products, coffees & teas, pantry items, shower products, bottled waters, snacks, wireless internet & Smart TVs are provided. We are rural, with one internet provider to choose from & signal can, on occasion, be spotty. If the internet or television is your #1 priority during your visit, just understand this. There is a small washer/dryer that will accomate most needs. Bulky items, like bedding, we will launder at the main house. Please remember, though comfortable, this is a true Tiny home. Everything is smaller than in big homes & in the spirit of minimalism we ask that you conserve wherever possible. The water heating system consists of a 20 gallon tank, so quicker showers may be necessary. The Shiny Tiny is newly remodeled, pet-friendly, clean, well planned, cute, safe, very quiet & private. The street is level and great for walking, biking or scooters. A unique property in the Alabama countryside awaits you!

Best Stay Ever!!

This place was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. It's the cutest tiny home with all the accommodations you can think of! The owner even left a thank you card with banana nut bread for us! There was everything you need including coffee, drinks, food, spices, etc. The porch is screened in, has lights for nighttime, and a ceiling fan. It was raining a lot the day we stayed so this was perfect for us! Also we wanted to fish and the owner let us use the boat dock, its a little hike down but was great! We highly recommend this stay, the owner was very sweet and helpful with any questions we had.

Peaceful Getaway

The Tiny Shiny is out in the country. It is peaceful and cozy. You would be hard pressed to find a better host than Shannon. She makes sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay. I loved the little screen porch for morning coffee.

Shiny Tiny is a gem

We had a fabulous stay at The Shiny Tiny - although tiny, the accommodation is mighty! It has EVERYTHING you could need. Shannon left the most delicious banana bread for us! She let our dogs run free in the front yard and they got along great with her dogs. She was very responsive to any inquiry. Will definitely stay here again when we're back in the area. And one of the most comfortable VRBO beds I've slept in!

Awesome!

This was the best stocked VRBO I’ve ever been to. They thought of everything. Snacks for the kids, drinks in the fridge, coffee and the best homemade banana bread I’ve ever had! The house was a super cute tiny house. The kids loved the loft and the puppy loved the porch and fenced in area. We had an amazing time hiking at Noccalula Falls.

Cozy Stay

This tiny home was super well stocked, and very cozy with its furnishings, fireplace, and screened porch. Wifi internet didn’t work the first night, maybe due to the cold weather but worked well after that. I had a problem with the main door latching, so she promptly moved me to another rental she had which I would also give 5 stars for! She has the best stocked places I’ve ever stayed in and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.

This is our second visit to the Shiny Tiny. We like the fact that it has a large yard and private road to walk on as well as a small fenced area as we travel with our dog. Shannon is very responsive when needed. It is a small space, that well stocked with everything that we needed.

Shiny may beTiny, but Very Well Appointed!

Shannon was an excellent host! She responded very quickly which wasn't often as anything you would need was in the house. We had our pet with us and we took her just down the road to Greensport Campground for walks. We enjoyed the screened in porch to eat meals or sit and read in the evenings. We would definitely stay here or at one of Shannon's other properties as she is such a host! greathost!host!host!wedefhere.

A good value

This rental is indeed very tiny, so be prepared. It is thoughtfully stocked with almost anything you might need during your stay. Unfortunately the path leading to the lake is not usable for older individuals like myself. The lake is at least 100' down a steep incline and I knew there was no way I could go up or down with no rail to hold onto. The rental is in a secluded area and the stars are brilliant!

Five stars - relaxing stay with beautiful scenery.

My wife, our senior dog, and myself had the pleasure of staying here in late June. We loved it! It was so relaxing. They provide tons of little extra amenities - delicious homemade banana bread, coffees, creamers, snacks, candy, band aids, etc. In the mornings, we sat on the porch with coffees while our dog let herself out of the doggy door, down the ramp, to play in the pen. So Convenient! We spent an afternoon on the dock, floating on peaceful lake Henry Neely. Music playing, soaking up the sun shine. There were plenty of floats to choose from, all in good shape. I brought my fishing poles & picked up some minnows from the gas station/liquor store up the street. While we were floating, I also had a few lines in the water. My wife had all the luck. She caught 6 catfish vs. my 2. All swam away healthy. This place is perfect for weekend getaways or longer if you want more time to explore. I can’t wait to come back with my boat! There are ramps everywhere and it’s a nice quiet dock to tie up to.
