Pool is OPEN! Mountain views, hiking, biking, 25 minutes to AVL

Escape to our delightful tiny home nestled in the serene, adventure-filled mountains of Western North Carolina. This cozy retreat offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway, whether you're here to unwind, work, or explore. Our town of Old Fort was recently named one of Outdoor Magazine's top 24 places to visit. Come mountain bike, hike, fly fish, paddle, or just relax with a cup of coffee and take in the views. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath tiny home will keep you comfy!

The Perch is located on our 2.5-acre property, directly behind our home, overlooking an old golf course turned nature preserve with year-round mountain views. The home includes a full kitchen, living room with a queen-sized pullout sleeper couch, dining area, work area, and laundry room. The entire space is about 700 sq. feet. There are two porches—one overlooking the pool and mountains and another facing the fire pit and nearly 500 acres of undeveloped forest.

Each room has a 32-inch TV with Hulu LiveTV, Disney+, and ESPN.

In addition to the firepit, we offer a charcoal grill, a tandem kayak, a single kayak, a canoe and the pool is available for use in the on-season. We do rent out our pool out by the hour to the community via an app called Swimply, so we just ask that we stay in communication about when you wish to swim and we'll communicate when it is reserved. We will give you privacy at the pool and we welcome our guests to swim with us - so it's not off limits when we're there! Even during the off-season our pool bar, which features a fridge, TV, grill, music system and outdoor bathroom is an awesome spot to hangout.
