Tiny Home-Mary Ida's Place - walkable location

I was there during a very difficult time. The hurricane Helene had devastated the area. After helping and working during the day, it was wonderful to return to a lovely place.

What a jewel Mary Ida’s Tiny Home is! It’s a perfect little get away spot that is relaxed, comfortable and welcoming. Both the exterior and interior of the home are great. Although it’s called a tiny home, the space is used exceptionally well, allowing all the amenities you need. What a delight it was to be welcomed with fresh baked banana nut bread, fresh eggs, butter, local ground coffee, coffee creamer, selection of teas. We had a wonderful breakfast for two mornings. We enjoyed a dinner at Hillman which is an easy stroll from the house. The location is very convenient to getting on interstate 40 and going up to Black Mountain, Asheville or any nearby spots. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved it. So cute,clean,great price, and great host. The only thing that would be helpful is a grab bar for the shower.

Our needs were anticipated before we even knew we had one....friendly, helpful, for two people or one person it is perfect !

I love Mary Ida’s! It’s the best host are super friendly and quick to respond! Also they have the cleanest nicest VRBO I’ve stayed in!! Definitely will be back!!

Excellent place to stay host respond immediately

Best little place perfect size for one person and perfect little area!! Best hostess as well!!

Every thing was very nice and clean

My family and I called it our Home Away from Home. It felt so good after a long day to just come back to our tiny home and relax. We really enjoyed the ability to cook our own food in the kitchen and do laundry when we needed too. It was perfect. We will most likely stay again sometime in the future. Thank you for such great communication ever since before I booked our trip. You were so kind and helpful when seeking things to do in the area. We recommend going to Asheville and Catawba Falls.

Mary Ida's was the cutest tiny home get away for my husband and me. Margaret and David were the most gracious hosts, there to answer any questions and provide the best recommendations for local restaurants. I would absolutely recommend staying here for anyone who needs some downtime, away from the hustle and bustle of busy city life. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

The home was very clean & had a fresh, clean smell upon arrival. Very spacious for the 2 of us. We also had a nice snack basket with homemade bread, fresh eggs & water in the fridge. The home was walkable to a homemade cinnamon roll bakery & a grocery store. You could also walk a little farther into town but we chose to drive. Great location to black mountain & Catawba Falls!

A very cute and cozy stay!

Loved it

great place, but tub was hard to get in and out

We loved our stay! It was one of the highlights of our trip was sitting on the porch! We felt very welcomed and taken care of by the hosts. Could not have enjoyed it more.

So nice, locals were so welcoming. Completely enjoyed it.

This was an absolutely amazing place for a restful getaway. David And Margaret the pictures doesn’t do this comfortably little cottage justice. If we were ever in this area again this would definitely be our go to place to stay. I absolutely loved cooking in the well equipped kitchen and the tub was perfect. Everything was sooooo clean!!! Thank you guys for providing a perfect place for a much needed rest

The home is simply adorable and comfy. The hosts are wonderful and make you feel very welcome. Close to so many wonderful things to do and great little shops. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy everything there was in and around Old Fort.

Property was cute, clean, and just what we needed for our short stay in Old Fort. It was also very convenient to downtown and Catawba Falls. The homemade bread, fresh farm eggs, and coffee were an added special touch that we appreciated very much.

Wonderful little house right on main street close to everything, it was perfect for the race... will definitely stay again!

Fantastic stay in a fantastic place. Thoughtful touches throughout including homeade banana bread, fresh eggs and coffee! Loved walking to Hillman's, Gogo's and Seeker Coffee. Perfect location for visiting Asheville and Black Mountain as well. Thank you!

I have nothing to day but good things about the home and the hosts. I knew this was going to be a great stay when they sent me a message saying there was some treats and fresh eggs for me upon arrival, put a smile on my face. I needed it as this trip was going wrong for me, so much that I had to add two extra dates and they welcomely did it with ease. The place was immaculate, I mean not one spot of dirt, hair or stains, felt like home. Food options were limited but there is a grocery in quick walking distance so opted to make meals instead which was nice and saved me a lot of money. Morning coffees on the porch were excellent tool. Finally, communication was top notch, almost instant and their over all demeanor was kind as can be. Book it, you won't be disappointed!

Such a cozy, clean spot for a relaxing stay! The host was so kind and very easy to communicate with. They left homemade bread, farm fresh eggs, coffee and creamer. I’ve never had such a generous host. If traveling to old fort definitely give this one consideration. I believe they have another property as well and I’m guessing it’s just as perfect!

Even though we live in a neighboring community the hosts welcomed us to their beautiful and efficient tiny home as we remained without power and water following Helene. Both communities were ravaged but as they had water and power they opened this home to us.

Extremely nice host and wonderful venue - I loved it! Highly recommended!

I was amazed when I first walked in. This little house is so warm and cozy. The host had left homemade peach pecan bread, two small bags of pretzels, six fresh eggs, I have a stick of butter and a small carton of half-and-half. There were plenty of different types of tea that you could choose from and everything you need it for your Coffee. If you’re looking for a cozy little one room home to stay at, this would be the place to stay. It’s not too far from Black Mountain and plenty of other activities are nearby. It definitely was the perfect place for our little getaway.

Great little house that feels so spacious! Clean, well appointed, excellent host.

Clean and comfortable place to stay in old fort! Everything needed for a great weekend!
