In the listing it doesn’t say any anything about the power might short out as it’s plugged into a switch up at the other house above the tiny home u can’t have more then one appliance on while hot tub is on or it shorts out

Charteris Bay

A very enjoyable stay in a quiet spot with view- just what I like. Attentive host.One thing I need to give feedback on is that the online description included "kitchen", so I took food that could be cooked on a stove top. There wasn't one- please clarify/ specify this for future possible users.Thanks,Sharyn

We did not stay here as we lost our way and where such a long way from where we to stay we just went home. We where really looking forward to it . We are also disappointed we could not get our money back at least some would be appreciated

A lovely little getaway but a bit on the pricey side.

We really enjoyed our time here. The mattress is amazing and the views and the birdsong really make this place special. We didn't think the build quality was that great and it's a little bit expensive for what you get. The whole tiny house shakes when someone walks to the bathroom for example.The communication was excellent though and Marty checked in via text to make sure all was well. The car park wasn't an issue in the end, but another unit shares the space and we got locked in (lucky we weren't in any hurry to leave!). Many thanks.
