Tiny house vacation rentals in McDowell County

Excellent space to check out if you want to get outdoors. The location is by the river as well!

This cottage was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, private, and surrounded by stunning wildflowers and scenery. The bed was super comfortable, and the short distance to Lake James made it even more perfect. We loved cooking in the fully stocked kitchen and enjoyed breakfast outside on the deck patio. The grill was a great bonus for evening meals. Our host was amazing—friendly, responsive, and welcoming. Highly recommend!"

Primitive enough to call it camping, glampy enough to enjoy doing it! Gorgeous views with a sense of privacy. This is my second staying at Above the Fray and I have enjoyed both experiences! Would highly recommend!

I stayed here for five nights on a work trip. was really great. cozy, log cabin atmosphere. looks just like the photos. somewhat private. I heard roosters in the morning and a donkey in the evening. I'll stay here again if I return to the area.

Perfect tiny home for a weekend away! Everything you need for a getaway and a very enjoyable environment, especially on the deck! Pupper enjoyed the time as well.

It was an amazing stay. It was incredibly peaceful and had plenty of river space to spread out. Everything was very clean and organized. Samantha, who did my mani/pedi and hair braiding, is an exquisite human being and her presence made my stay even better! Highly recommend if you enjoy a simple, clean, nature focused vacation! Will be back!!!!

Awesome tiny cabin located on a beautiful creek. Everything you could ask for if you’re wanting to check out for a few days. Plenty of hiking nearby (or right out the door) and close to Old Fort or Black Mountain if you desire to go into town. (Hillman Brewery in Old Fort and The Bush Farmhouse in Black Mountain) We definitely will return. First class operation!!!

The hideout was very clean and cute. The on demand shower made me nervous but worked very well once you realize how it works. The whole experience was a great one. Thanks again guys

Peaceful and relaxing weekend. Host is always avaliable and provided lots of firewood for our stay. We hope to be back again!

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was amazing and peaceful. John and Elsie were very responsive. Everything was top notch from the bedding to the cookware.

We had such a peaceful and cozy stay! The RV was exactly as described; clean, thoughtfully stocked, and full of charm. Waking up to the mountain air and relaxing in such a quiet spot was exactly what we needed. The communication from our hosts was kind and timely, and we appreciated the clear instructions for everything. Definitely a memorable experience! Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Absolutely beautiful space with an immensely calming and restorative vibe. Would absolutely stay here again!

What a wonderful getaway with me and my children. With the river running right in front of the cabin and the community vibe, it was just what we needed!!

Beautiful area, quiet, peaceful, and inviting to be still. House was very clean and cozy. It felt like we were in the “cottage in the woods”. My sister and I enjoyed our stay. She even said why don’t we see if we could stay a few days longer. Planning on returning.

What a cute place to stay. Eric’s bus worked out perfect for me, I would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing location, beautiful views, almost don’t want to share this spot so it stays a hidden treasure :) the place is tiny and cute and has everything you need for glamping. I’m already planning my next trip back!

Came up to stay for a race nearby and we couldn't have asked for anything better! Location, cleanliness, communication - all above & beyond. Will definitely return to this bnb if I am back in the area ☺️

Loved staying at Mac! We adored the privacy of the location and the feeling of being surrounded by nature. We were amazed at the creativity and use of space in the tiny home- every square inch was used for something practical! Carrie left it fully stocked for us with coffee, tea, soaps in the shower, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. She was also super accommodating when we had to shorten our reservation last minute. Would recommend Mac to any couple looking for a comfortable place near Marion or Nebo!

Jo’s cottage was absolutely perfect. The location was amazing. We could walk to the little Switzerland Inn to have a drink or dinner. We were able to walk to the historic church on Sunday morning. The yard was so lovely to spend time with gorgeous flowers and the home was beautifully appointed with everything you needed in the kitchen and bath and lovely paintings by Jo. The bed was super comfortable. We had lots of questions before hand on things to do and got lots of great advice. Thanks for an amazing birthday trip! We hope to come back another time it - was really ideallic!

When we booked the place with Kathryn, we weren’t expecting to go the full route of glamping, but that did not deter us from having such a good time at the property. Even though it was for one night, we cannot wait to come back in the future and do it all over again for an extended timeframe. It felt just like camping as a kid again. Instructions were very clear on how to navigate to the site to using the facilities. Highly recommended.
