The Farmstead is a unique tiny home community in Mill Spring, North Carolina, near the South Carolina border.
Guests have eight different homes to choose from spread across five acres.
Despite their small size, the homes have great amenities like a kitchenette, a washer/dryer, and a bathroom.
The smallest property on the site, Tiny Barn, sleeps only two in one double bed.

But other homes make use of futon beds to accommodate extra guests.
The nightly rate starts at just $99, although it can be higher depending on the season.
Bear in mind that towels and linens are considered extras, with charges of $25 for each set. Plus, there’s a cleaning fee.
But what makes The Farmstead stand out is its access to numerous outdoor activities like biking, boating, fishing, and hiking.
