The Bumbleshack tiny house is available for booking! The Bumbleshack Tiny House in Tuckasegee, NC, is a handcrafted tiny house built in 2013 that sits on 8 acres just above a cascading creek that provides soothing, natural white noise year round. Lakes surround us—Lake Glenville is the closest—and we keep kayaks and paddles ready for guest use. On warmer days, grab our river tubes and float the gentle Tuckasegee River and get out at East LaPorte Park to have a picnic. In the evenings, eat under the trees at your outdoor dining table for two and let the creek do the talking. Hike our creekside trail that encircles the property. With 11 windows in a tiny space, this is nature immersion at its best. Inside, the space is thoughtfully outfitted for easy comfort: a double (full) bed in the cozy loft, plus a sofa that opens into another double (full) bed, heat/AC, and a compact kitchenette with both Keurig and drip coffee options using local beans. Tuckasegee, North Carolina: a peaceful mountain valley wrapped in forests, lakes, and the Tuckasegee River—perfect for paddling, fishing, swimming, and leaf-peeping. Lake Glenville—the closest lake—offers scenic coves, waterfalls and calm water. Sylva (nearby): a classic Appalachian small town with a walkable Main Street, indie shops and bookstores, coffee spots, local breweries, and laid-back eateries. It’s your easy stop for groceries, farm-to-table bites, live music and weekend buzz. Cashiers and Highlands are right up NC-107 about 30 minutes away, and the fun of Asheville is just one hour away. Outdoors: covered patio with dining area for two, small propane grill, chairs, string lights, fire pit, creekside trail to explore, creekside sitting area, guide to our favorite hikes, lake put-ins & river floats Pet-friendly: well-behaved pups welcome! Your stay helps us grow a nonprofit orchard that supplies local food banks—thank you for being part of it!Now you can book a stay in the Bumbleshack tiny house, a pioneer of the modern tiny house movement! Parked in her retirement spot perched above a cascading mountain creek with big boulders on 8 1/2 private, heavily forested acres, this is nature immersion at its best. Tube the Tuckasegee River, paddle pristine Lake Glenville and visit the small town charms of nearby Cashiers and Sylva. Plus your stay supports our nonprofit orchard supplying local food banks! Sleep: double (full) loft bed + double (full) pull-out sofa; two people only despite the two beds, and y'all should be real friendly with each other! Kitchenette: mini-fridge, 4 burner cooktop, basic cookware and essentials like oil, vinegar and spices, dishes, Keurig & drip pot with local coffee Comfort: heating/air conditioning, Wi-Fi, television with access to your favorite entertainment apps, NO cell phone service in this area-we use Wi-Fi for communication and that can be spotty at times Outdoors: covered patio with dining area for two, small propane grill, chairs, string lights and your own personal trail that encircles the property along the cascading creek Extras: fire pit with wood, guide to our favorite lake put-ins & river floats and use of our kayaks and river tubes with a signed waiver Pet-friendly: well-behaved pups welcome, must remain on leash on with you at all times due to wildlife activity (bears)
