The location was great. We enjoyed the tiny house. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside by the fire. There was three of us and that is about all I would put in there. It is in a RV park. The park was very clean and the bath house was also very clean.

Ants
We rented this tiny house for our son's wedding weekend and were extremely disappointed.While there were several maintenance and cleanliness issues such as spider webs, dusty light fixtures, poor water pressure, barely warm water, and worn furnishings, the main problem was an active ant issue throughout the cabin.Ants were on the countertops, around the microwave, on our food containers, on the refrigerator, and even on my toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom. There were so many ants that we ultimately packed up and left rather than continue staying there.When I contacted management after the wedding weekend, I was informed that the cleaning crew had already noticed ants before our arrival but did not believe it was an infestation. Despite this, no refund, discount, or meaningful apology was offered. Instead, I was told that because I did not interrupt my son's wedding day to report the problem immediately, nothing would be done.As a cancer survivor, repeatedly spraying pesticides in such a small space was not an acceptable solution for me. Even if someone had come out to spray, I would not have felt comfortable remaining there afterward.The photos show ants on food containers, kitchen surfaces, bathroom items, and refrigerator areas, as well as spider webs and dust accumulation. For the price charged, I expected a clean, sanitary, and properly maintained rental.Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this property.
