A 200 sq. ft. tiny house cabin with a cozy living area with plenty of seating, a small table for dining, a sink with hot and cold water, a small counter for fixing coffee or a small meal. Also an outdoor enclosed shower with hot and cold water. Cozy in the cool weather with a direct vent propane heater. In the winter because of freezing pipes, the shower becomes a camp shower and the sink, if the pipes freeze, water is provided. There is a private deck for relaxing and reading. The full bed is in a quiet loft. The toilet area (half bath) is separate from the tiny house; 4-5 yds from the front steps. It is well lit and heated. There is also a mirror and a blow dryer.
SLEEPING:
Full bed in a loft; ladder to access.
COOKING:
A small counter with kitchen tools for fixing coffee/tea and simple meals. There is a butane burner for heating water or meals in a pan. A cooler is provided with cold blocks that will keep food cold for 5 days.
CELL SERVICE/ INTERNET:
The property has fast, strong cell service but no Internet service.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITY
The private patio off the apartment is spacious with outdoor seating for lounging and eating. There is also an outdoor fire pit. Wood is available.
You have access to the "Secret Garden" at the top of the property (signs will guide you). This is a tiered garden that my parents created before "green" was even thought of. They reused materials from the house and also tires to create walls, paths and special places for sitting peacefully or meditating or just reading. You will not be able to tell you are in a small town but feel like you are in a forest.
SURROUNDING AREAS
Downtown Canton, a 15 minute walk, has a relaxing brewery on the river, a great used bookstore on main street with comfy couches along with Papertown Coffee right down the street. Jros and Grateful Table on the same street have great food.
20 Minutes to the east is Asheville, and 15 minutes to the west in Waynesville, you’ll find dining, coffee, music, and nightlife. The Blue Ridge Parkway has hiking trails, 20 minutes away, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just an hour away.
Lots of mountain biking in Asheville or a new park opening up right outside Canton (Chestnut Mountain).
No smoking or vaping anywhere on property.
We love animals but cannot accommodate pets at this time. The owner is allergic to pet hair and is the main person to clean tiny house.
Only those who have rented can be on property; no guests unless pre-approved with owner.
No events.
Guest access
You have your own parking spot. You will have private access to the deck. The "Secret Garden" is shared with the owner or guests at the "Secret Garden" apartment on property.
The neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown Canton. You can walk or drive to a coffee shop, a few restaurants, hair salons and a local bath products store.
