This little house was absolutely perfect! It has such a beautiful and peaceful area to sit outside and have coffee in the morning. It was very clean, the kitchen was equipped with everything you could need to prepare a meal, the host provided all the necessary and important information for a remarkable stay, and the check in and check out process was incredibly easy. I would definitely stay at The Water & Woods Tiny Home again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a very relaxing weekend. The extra amenities were much appreciated. The kitchen met all of our needs and the outdoor grill was a plus. This was our first time in a tiny house and we were impressed with the furniture, organization and coziness. Sure hope we get to return soon!

We really enjoyed our stay! The area is very peaceful and quiet. Our accommodations didn’t feel anything like tiny. The home was tidy and thoughtfully supplied with everything that you would expect and more. Loved the movie choices! Thank you for offering up this wonderful place to stay.

A “first time” Tiny Home Experience!
My husband and I are trying out tiny home living in a variety of community settings. The setting and community of this tiny home was lovely as the community was beautiful and well kept. This home was nicely situated on a small cul de sac with the back overlooking the woods. This particular home is well suited for a small family as there are bunk beds; a nice swing out the back; plenty of games, movies for families which was nice. The owners were easy to reach and pleasant to work with when we had a little snag with the outdoor lights. Suggestions for the owners would be to consider a new mattress for the mstr. bedrm., as though it was comfortable it sloped inward (no, we aren’t lrg. people!); suggest a refreshening of the bath towels as a few were well worn (one stained) and also replacing some of the cookware which is worn. An addtl. suggestion is to consider thinning out the cupboards/closets to allow for more accommodation of guests’ items. Thanks for opening your home for others to enjoy and experience tiny home living!

Anniversary stay at Water and Woods
We were looking for a short getaway to celebrate our anniversary without having to drive too far. My husband found this online and it looked perfect. And it really was. It had everything we expected it to have and even more. It was private and well stocked and much attention to detail was given on the host's part. She was responsive to any questions that we had even while there. We had a wonderful time at this charming little getaway and would definitely like to visit again and would highly recommend.

We love the tiny home! It was just the right amount of space for our family of four. Clean and very accommodating. The lake is so pretty, especially at sunset/sunrise. Great little neighborhood, and easy to walk to lake and playground. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Delightful Retreat Near Multiple Waterfall Hikes
Great property in a forested tiny home community near a small lake. We loved how close it was to hikes and using our paddle boards in the lake. We loved the enormous deck, especially the covered one for those rainy days. The laundry also came in handy! We look forward to returning in the future.

Serenity Sanctuary
Cute, tiny home filled with calming personality. I took too many photos of the sunlight dancing through the windows as I was glued to the couch most of the time. With a book in hand and good rainy weather, this was the perfect place to find a little serenity. Highly recommend if you need a quiet place to call home for a bit and refresh!

Clean Cozy Getaway
This is a nice, clean and cozy little place! The only thing I want to add is that the neighbors large windows are directly facing the bedroom windows of this property - probably can see anything anyways but just something to be mindful about if you open the blinds. Community area was very nice, gated and coded entrance - Just be sure to pay attention when close to the entrance, it’s very easy to miss! Overall we had a very pleasant, and comfy stay with my dog who had a small little yard area to run around and enjoy himself
