About this campground/ rv resort rental
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 high above a cascading mountain creek on 8 1/2 private, heavily forested acres, this is nature immersion at its best.
Tube the Tuckasegee River, paddle pristine Bear Lake and visit the small town charms of nearby Cashiers and Sylva. Plus your stay supports our nonprofit orchard supplying local food banks!
The Bumbleshack Tiny House in Tuckasegee, NC, is a handcrafted tiny house built in 2013 that sits just above a cascading creek that provides soothing, natural white noise year round. Lakes surround us—Bear Lake 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. In the evenings, eat under the trees at your outdoor dining table for two and let the creek do the talking.
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 a Keurig and local coffee pods.
Your stay helps us grow a nonprofit orchard that supplies local food banks—thank you for being part of it!
The space:
Sleep: loft double (full) + double (full) pull-out sofa (must be able to climb a ladder and the loft is small)
Kitchenette: small fridge, cooktop, basic cookware, dishes, Keurig, electric water kettle
Composting toilet: If you have never used one, this might not be the place for you. We have a fancy expensive European composting toilet that we had shipped from overseas, and it is one of the nicest on the market....but it is nonetheless still a composting toilet.
Comfort: heating/air conditioning, Wi-Fi, propane heater in case the power goes out in the fall (we are closed Jan - March due to the outdoor shower)
Outdoors: covered patio with dining area for two, small propane grill, chairs, string lights, HOT outdoor open shower powered by propane and acres to explore behind the tiny house
Extras: small fire pit (wood nearby), guide to our favorite lake put-ins & river floats
Pet-friendly: well-behaved pups welcome!
Guest access:
We live in the main house on the property, but you’ll have the tiny house, patio, the creekside trail and the entire back portion of the property all to yourselves. Kayaks (with paddles & life jackets) and river tubes are available for guest use at no charge and for use at your own risk. Parking is right next to the tiny house. The creek is reached via a short path, and there is a creekside sitting area; it can be slippery so use care. Adventure seekers only!!! This is not your typical vacation rental.
Where you’ll be:
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.

The bumbleshack was the perfect place for us to spend a weekend exploring the local lakes and trails. You could even spend the day roaming the property experiencing the creeks and wildlife. Lisa and Jonathan were the most welcoming hosts and you can tell they have poured their heart and souls into the cool vibes you get at this unique location. We even brought home several pieces of Lisa’s own nature inspired artwork that she has decorated the bumbleshack with. The place was privately secluded( but still has WiFi ) , clean , very cute and so close to so much breathtaking scenery. They really made the most out of this space because it has everything you need. Exceeded expectations in every way possible. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. We will certainly be back!
