I absolutely loved my stay! The space was clean and was the perfect balance of a small space with all the amenities I needed. I loved the small art touches and the pullout was surprisingly comfortable (I'm always weary of them - but this one felt the same as a true bed!). The cottage also has the cutest walkway with little solar lights that turn on at night - with the creek on one side, it feels quite magical :)
I enjoyed making coffee in the morning to see the morning light come up, walking and running on the Ellerbee Creek trail (I love the loops of off the paved trail that go deeper into the forest - highly recommend!) and walking around the neighborhood at night (so many people are about walking, so it feels very safe, I love the houses in the area, and I scored a great book at the little free library!). This is a fantastic spot, and Ty is super helpful and a great host!
#ease #elegance #comfort #practicality #special touches #cleanlinessEverything about my stay allowed smoothness, comfort, ease. Simple things like comfortable chairs, all amenities in working order, cleanliness... allowed me to rest and engage in a weekend of rest and learning (at workshop), easily prepare meals, sleep well. The deck chairs are comfy and fun - they rock! The hosts strike a respectful balance of checking in and offering helping, answering questions, while not at all intrusive. Traveling solo, it was comforting as well as supportive. #biggratitude

From the owner: "Thank you, Aaron! We'd love to have you back anytime."
We stayed in this tiny home while we were in Durham for a friend's wedding and really enjoyed our stay! Our hosts had the home set up for us so that when we finally landed after midnight we had a cozy and comfortable place waiting, and the location is incredibly convenient for exploring the greater Durham area. Would happily spend another weekend here!
From the owner: "It was great having you visit from out of state! Come visit again soon."
We had such a wonderful stay at this cute treehouse studio! We loved being surrounded by big trees and watching the birds every morning. We walked every morning to an amazing paved walking trail steps from the front door. It's location is amazing, close to downtown so we could easily Uber to a Bull's game. Super close to 9th street so I could go to yoga and grab coffee or grocery shop after ( within a few minutes drive from the house). You couldn't ask for a better location for golfing either, my husband went many times down the road to Hillandale course. So many good restaurants close by too. Shelley and Ty were absolutely fabulous hosts, they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The space was well thought out and had everything we needed. The deck was perfect to sit and relax with a cup of coffee and a good book. We didn't want to leave! Highly recommend staying here!
From the owners: "Thanks, Kristi! It was great to have you both. So happy that you used the Tiny Treehouse as a soft landing spot to get you to North Carolina!!!"
