FAQ's...
EARLY CHECK-IN & LATE CHECKOUT OPTIONS
We are at the mercy of the calendar! The only way to guarantee early check-in is by booking the night before. If you want to take a gamble, you can wait until 24 hours before check-in to see if our schedule allows for it. If a guest is checking out the day of your arrival or if we have scheduled maintenance, early check-in may not be possible.
Late checkout will depend on the number of hours requested and if there is another guest coming that afternoon.

About the host
Hosted by Seth and Emmye Wilson

Hi there!
Seth and Emmye are hosts for local tiny home VRBO's atop Lookout Mountain Georgia and Alabama. In 2018, we went on an adventure to scope out where we will plant our roots for our first stages of life. We stayed in a tiny home in the area and it made us fall in love with this area, community, and a new concept of living.
Have a peachy day (:

Why they chose this property
Where the Little River Runs is the perfect spot to disconnect from your busy everyday life and reconnect with the nature around you. This is a very private and peaceful location. You'll be surrounded by trees and will have access to the river directly from the property. Enjoy the river views while you sit at our fire pit area that is directly next to it.
What makes this property unique
The quaint mountain town of Mentone, Alabama is just 6 miles away. In town you can visit unique artisanal shops and eat local foods including the famous Wildflower Cafe, voted Best Cafe in all of Alabama. Only 10 miles away is De Soto Falls, home to a 107 ft picturesque waterfall where you can go swimming. Drive 12 miles from the tiny home and you'll get to the Little River Canyon National Preserve. For those looking for full-day adventures outside of town, head 47 miles north to Chatanooga, Tennessee.
