About this property
Tiny Home-Mary Ida's Place - walkable location
Mary Ida's Place is near Old Fort's up and coming downtown, featuring two breweries, a winery, restaurants & shops within a few blocks. Hiking and cycling trails in Pisgah National Forest are close too. Although tiny, it has a spacious layout inside and an outdoor, covered porch to enjoy the seasons. Designed for two, four can be accommodated using the sofa bed. She's stocked with all the amenities you'll need to enjoy your stay and maybe a few extras, including coffee from a local roaster, teas and homemade bread.

About the host
Hosted by David and Margaret
We've lived and worked in the area for almost 30 years. We're not natives, but love the area and can't wait to share our tiny home and all the area offers with our guests!
Why they chose this property
We already have a successful Vrbo rental just outside town - Railway Rest - and wanted to add an in-town location, giving guests a cozy home with a walkable location. Our home honors Mary (Granny) Ida who lived on this property for years, raised her children here and was welcoming to so many.
What makes this property unique
Although tiny, our home has a spacious feel and is equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay, whether it's a few days or a few weeks. Walk or bike to restaurants, shops and the many trails the area has to offer.
