Perfect Little Place

I stayed here while in town for a conference and my only regret is not booking another night so that I could stay longer! Everything was clean and well organized. Clear communication from the host and easy access to downtown. Will definitely consider this property again!

Great Location and Amenities

Clean, attractive place with extremely comfortable bed and great kitchen and bathroom amenities (coffee pods and supplies, shampoo/body wash, hair dryer, dishes, and soaps) located conveniently near downtown near good food and bars. The seasons are changing, so there were some ants and small flies, but it was a small inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again!

Tiny House = Great Experience

The best Tiny House in Town lives up to its name! This home is tucked into the wonderful Mordecai neighborhood in Raleigh. Great area to take walks, grab coffee, visit shops. The bed was very comfortable and the tiny kitchen had everything you might need for a stay. I really liked the strung lights on the little patio. Had it been warmer temps, I know I would have enjoyed sitting outdoors.

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay in the tiny house so much!! First off, Ellen was so, so great about answering questions for us while planning our trip since we were coming from out of town. The house had everything you needed, was so clean, and the location was top notch. So close to everything. If you enjoy walking we highly recommend staying here!

Great little tiny house!

My 18 yr old daughter and I came to Raleigh for a concert at the Red Hat Amphitheater. We made it a 3 night trip to be able to experience Raleigh. The tiny house was perfect for our needs. We shared the bed which was super comfy. There was a tiny kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and keurig. A nice bathroom and a small table were all we needed. Ellen, the owner, put together a terrific little book about places to eat and things to do, a great resource that we used several times. We had a little trouble with the door lock the first night (not because there was a problem with it, we just couldn’t figure it out) and Ellen responded immediately, in like 2 minutes! Fantastic communication! All in all we had a fantastic time and a great stay. If we come back to Raleigh we will definitely book the tiny house again!

Business trip - perfect tiny house

I loved everything about this tiny home! Upon arrival jazz was playing and instantly made me want to stay again but with my hubby next time and not a work trip! The room was better than described, perfectly adorned and so cozy! The best part aside from location and cleanliness were the little details. It started to rain as I was heading out to meet some work friends for cocktails and I had just done my hair :(. I look down and there was an umbrella! Perfect!!!

Perfect Tiny House

We were in Raleigh just for the weekend to attend a wedding and rented the Tiny House. It was perfect for us. Immaculate and just as described. Nice quiet neighborhood and very close to the venue. Our relatives stayed at a nearby hotel, paid twice as much, and were bothered by the noise at night. I would definitely stay there again.

Clean, peaceful, great location

This property was perfect! It was super clean, quiet and not far from where we needed to go. If it wasn’t so hot, we would have walked everywhere! When we walked in we felt so welcome with soft music playing and dim lights. Such a nice touch. The tiny kitchen was well equipped. We could not have asked them to supply anything more. Messages/questions were answered in minutes each and every time! Sometimes not even minutes!! We loved our stay and would definitely recommend the Tiny House to anyone!

Perfect little spot

The tiny home was all we needed for just the pair of us. It is in close walking distance (<10 minutes) of several small shops and restaurants, and we were still able to walk downtown (although that’s a bit longer). A warning that if the bus system runs at all to the nearby stops, it is not regular. We gave up on that idea after waiting for a while one afternoon.

Perfect location

It was a perfect location, within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and museums. Nice neighborhood. It was the perfect size for my husband and I. It easily could have fit a crib or blow-up for a child. It was nice to have the kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, coffee, and sink. Also, had a cute little patio, which we didn’t end up using as we were out most evenings, but would have otherwise.

Wonderful spot!

The tiny house was so perfect! The location was so close to uptown where my conference was. The house itself was so clean and comfy. The view out the windows was beautiful. I watched squirrels play in the yard. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea. The bathroom was roomy. And the outside porch is absolutely perfect to sit and relax at the end of your day.

About the host

Hosted by Darla Brown

I love creating interesting spaces. This comfortable back yard retreat was previously a utility shed in it's former life. I raised the ceiling up to the roof to give the room a vertical, open feeling. Raw industrial materials like metal and plywood were used for the fixtures, floor and furniture. The space was influenced by modern design and inspired by the blue city in Morocco, Chefchaouen. I hope you will find the Best Tiny House in Town to be a serene resting place in the heart of the city.
