    River Love Tiny Adventure is an adorable experience! I’ve been staying in the western NC mountains for 11 years now and this was the most unique place I have visited. Easy to access, yet tucked away and peaceful. Our host, Kangee, has put lots of little details into designing this space and caring for her guests. The river is stunning, firepit perfect. She even left a fire starter for us. Beyond the adorable little space itself, Kangee is by far the kindest most helpful and accommodating host I’ve ever experienced. We got a flat tire on our way in and she voluntarily offered us a late check out to enjoy the property in the morning. So so so kind! Making sure we had every moment we could to savor the peaceful surroundings. Don’t hesitate to stay here. Absolutely recommend

    Unique experience which I enjoyed. It's glamping at its finest. The raging river is just spectacular and very relaxing. Secluded down in the gorge. I loved it. Owner is great with communication even if there were six hours difference between us because she also was on a trip, but made sure to stay up to make sure I got there, and everything was good. Would love to go back with a group of friends to the other property, The barn.

    This property is AMAZING!!! It is private but yet within a short drive to restaurants, shops, and beautiful outdoor waterfalls/rivers. It is very well furnished, well decorated, and the landscaping is beautiful. Such a peaceful and wonderful get away!!!! The owner was so gracious and helpful with booking/check in and any questions. We can't way to come back and stay again!!!!!!!!! Angel L

    We were really looking forward to this stay, but unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. The listing is very misleading in several key ways. The photos are outdated—by several years. The space looks much different now, with a far more cluttered aesthetic. Inside, the tiny house is packed with old decorations and items that feel more like hoarded junk than curated charm. There is almost no usable space—no counter space, nowhere to set anything down, and no real kitchen as described. The one sink is next to the toilet, and the coolers listed are just basic beer coolers—not powered or practical for food storage. The king bed is only accessible by climbing a tall stepstool and pulling yourself up using the bar—completely unsafe for anyone with mobility issues (this really should be stated clearly in the listing). The “outdoor shower and tub” are tucked behind half-dead potted trees with mismatched curtains held up by chip clips—very DIY and not particularly comfortable or private. As for the river access, while it is technically about 150 feet away, it’s not suitable for swimming or exploring. It’s a fast section with no room to move around or enjoy the water. Finally, the place is not secluded—there are multiple houses easily visible from the property, which takes away from the privacy the listing claims. We felt hoodwinked and left a day early, very disappointed. This place needs serious decluttering, a more accurate listing, and updated photos.

    This place is a hidden gem. It was so quiet and comfortable. The river is beautiful and the owner of this property is one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. We got there a little early and she was there making sure everything was perfect for our stay. She’s as genuine as they come. We are already planning to go back as soon as possible. I would give 10 stars if I could. We have definitely found our favorite place to stay in Highlands, NC.

    We found this property by searching for a place that would provide spaces to enjoy the outdoors even in inclement weather. We loved the uniqueness of the listing and booked Tiny! We fell in love with the place upon arrival. The landscaping was beautiful and provided natural privacy. We saw many birds including blue birds, hummingbirds, gold finches, cardinals and more. Kangee not only created a unique place to stay she also provided everything you could possibly want or need. The outdoor shower was so refreshing. Very few things beat relaxing by a noisy and soothing river. The close proximity to Highlands and Franklin was helpful. So many waterfalls nearby! We hated to leave but will definitely return. Do yourself a favor and book one of Kangee’s properties. She is on top of everything!!
