THE HERON HAUS EXPERIENCE

Heron Haus is one of the thoughtfully designed tiny homes at Knot Working Tiny Town — a quiet retreat surrounded by conservation land just minutes from Lake Guntersville, hiking, restaurants, and downtown Guntersville.

Guests consistently mention the peaceful atmosphere, spotless spaces, thoughtful touches, and how easy it is to truly relax here.

This isn’t just where you stay.
It’s where you slow down.

Please note that the firepit area and parking area are shared with one neighboring tiny home. Boat parking is limited to small boats/trucks less than 25 feet.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Hedgecock

Host profile image
I was born on the East Coast, grew up in the Midwest and have lived all over the world. After my husband retired as a helicopter pilot from the Army several years ago, work brought us back to North Alabama after having lived here on and off for the last 20 years.

As an experienced traveler and under the Knot Working brand, my husband and I strive to bring our travel experiences to our guests, providing the needed amenities for a comfortable stay. We love North Alabama and want to share it with the world!

We are hands off hosts and give everyone their space but don't mind hearing from you should any issues arise during your stay.
