About the host
Hosted by Christopher Thomas
My wife Kimberly and I have been married for nearly 25 years, and together we're raising our family in Franklin, Tennessee. We love hosting guests at our tiny homes and giving them a cozy space to disconnect and relax.
Why they chose this property
Water's Edge is a super fun lake community. The lake is a short 7-minute walk from our tiny homes. Rent kayaks, go fishing, or just sit on the dock and stare at the glassy water! My wife and I love taking overnight dates at the tiny homes, and we also host friends on "boys golf trips" or "girlfriend getaways."
What makes this property unique
The location of our tiny homes is great. We are very close to the entrance of the community, and we're tucked away on a side street that only has two homes on it, which means cars aren't driving by us all day. It's great!
