Good to know

NOTE: Dogs are generally welcome at The Big Tiny House. We love dogs and realize it's a PITA to find dog-friendly AirBnB rentals. Our cleaning company assesses a fee of $45 per pup if we know in advance; $100 if we don't know in advance :( Now to the good stuff: SP Wintergreen Resort gate 3 Flying Fox Vineyards 1.6 Hill Top Winery 2.1 Three Notch'd Brewery 3.6 Silverback Distillery 3.7 Brewing Tree Brewery 3.9 Bold Rock Cider 5 Devil’s Backbone Brewery 6.2 Blue Toad Cider 6.2 Cardinal Point Winery 6.2 Blue Mountain Brewery 7.1 Valley Road Vineyard 7.6 Veritas Vineyard 7.9 Afton Mountain Vineyard 8.1 Pollack Vineyards 9.9 VA Distillery Co. 11 Tucked away less than a mile from VA's Brew Ridge Trail, The Big Tiny House is a brand-new, never been lived in, self-contained luxury tiny home hand built by the only RIVA-certified tiny home builder in the nation. Although less than 400sqft, the plethora of windows and natural light creates a sense of sleeping outdoors. An immaculate, brand-new luxury tiny home hand-crafted by premier builder Escape Homes. While staying at The Big Tiny House, you'll be surprised at the precise attention to detail in the design and the sheer amount of amenities packed into this cool little spot. Enjoy!

Other Details to Note

Although separate, The Big Tiny House shares a property with the well-known AirBnB property Boogie Nights Manor as well as fellow listing Rusty's Retreat. Parking and access points are separate for the listings, but it's possible that sounds may travel between the respective outdoors spaces :) The house also has a great firepit that looks straight out of an episode of The Flintstones. As we can't guarantee the availability of large deliveries of firewood locally, we recommend you pick up a couple bundles at your local hardware or grocery store. The IGA grocery store (10 mins away in Nellysford) generally has bundles that sell in the $6-7 range.

Guest access

When you enter the driveway and pass the large pine trees, feel free to park in the grassy area off to the left . On the wall to the left of the garage door is a lockbox with a key, as well as a light switch to illuminate the path to The Big Tiny House (and also to the adjacent Rusty's Retreat). Follow the path to your left between the garage and the large white propane tank (looks like a submarine). Walk approximately 20ft and you'll see a large pine tree with a sign for The Big Tiny House. Open the wooden gate to your right and you'll see the tiny house ahead :) You'll have full use of the tiny home as well as the outdoor space that surrounds it.

My partner and I very much enjoyed this tiny home for our short stay to visit Shenandoah. We specifically chose this place because it had a fire pit—which we loved coming back to each night, and because it was close to a bunch of breweries/wineries! It was the perfect amount of space for us. We loved having all of the natural light as well. A true gem—we’ll hopefully be visiting again.

We stayed at the "Big Tiny Home" for 3 nights to explore and enjoy the fall up in the mountains. We loved that it was clean, the bed was comfortable, that there was a TV in the bedroom as well as the living room, and that there was a large fridge so we were able to save some $ and bring perishable items from home. The stone fire pit was also a highlight and being able to bring our dog is always a big plus! The only thing I think is worth mentioning, not as a negative but just as a "learn from our lesson" - while the listing does not mention a clothes washer as an amenity, the listing does have one in the bathroom. However, it doesn't work efficiently and will leave you with wet clothes after you think it's a good idea to wash your camp fire clothes :) There was no notice that it did not work, so we found out the hard way. Again though, the listing was accurate with not listing it as a provided amenity! We would definitely stay here again & recommend to a single person / couple & dog!

Great place to stay in the Rockfish Valley. In the middle of the breweries, wineries, and Wintergreen Resort. Just far enough off the road for quiet privacy, but still close enough to get to everything within minutes. For the place itself, it was clean with plenty of amenities. The fire pit was perfect to relax around in the evening and the indoor fireplace kept it cozy at night. I highly recommend the Big Tiny House and we personally look forward to another visit in the future.

What a beautiful BIG tiny house! It was the perfect size for our weekend getaway. It was clean and spacious, plenty of room for my daughter and I. The outdoor space was nice. Quiet and relaxing. Jeremy was an amazing host. We will definitely visit again!!

Location

Afton/Nellysford is still fairly rural, so you’ll need a vehicle in most cases if you’re visiting breweries and vineyards. UBER can be a bit hit or miss, but there are several taxi/tour that service the local area should you choose to “sample” all the local flavors :). The Nelson County government website maintains a listing of local businesses to include taxi and tour providers. That listing can be found on the county's website.
