Unique Stay: The Tiny House On A Farm In Winston-Salem, North Carolina

April 5, 2021 1

When we came across the Tiny House Farm on Airbnb, we immediately knew where our next road trip was going to take us. Winston-Salem, North Carolina, here we come! This is a fun way to plan a trip, if you’ve got the flexibility. Find a unique stay, and then plan where you’re going around that, rather than vice versa. And since we’d never stayed in a tiny house before, this was a no-brainer.

Where Is This Tiny House On A Farm?

Once a dairy-farm, the location is the business site of tiny house builders Perch & Nest. Two of their tinys and an amazing, big ol’ barn (for you “glampers”) are on site – all available as Airbnb rentals.

We stayed in “Roost20,” the smaller of the two houses. This little farmhouse on wheels is both beautiful and extremely well-designed. A spacious living area greets you upon entry, with a sizeable comfy sofa surrounded by ceiling-high windows. The ample natural light and high ceiling make you forget what a small space you’re in right off the bat.

A light and bright, fully-appointed kitchen provides you with everything you’ll need for your stay. We were extra excited about the pour over coffee accoutrements. Cuz, coffee! The bathroom is equally as impressive, spacious, and fully-appointed. The shower is designed with gorgeous, recycled glass tile and a rain shower head. There is also plenty of wardrobe storage and a flushing toilet. 

A queen-sized sleeping loft awaits you upstairs. With windows on either side of the comfy bed, you’ll get plenty of light and an awesome cross breeze. And if you prefer it darker than the farm already is at night, simply draw the shades and you’ve got yourself a tiny cave. 

Tiny House, Big Comfort

All in all, this tiny house is extremely comfortable. So much so, that for the first time in ages, we slept for eleven hours! The next morning as we enjoyed our pour overs and prepped for check-out, a couple of the resident chickens paid a visit to our doorstep! And we couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up our wonderful stay in this tiny house on a farm.

Our Latest Vlog:
Today we explore the Amazon jungle by night. Our flashlights reveal plenty of creepy crawlies, including unusual insects, cute frogs, a variety of spiders – including a bizarre one that looked like a robot, and Andie got her wish when we saw not one, but two tarantulas! Stephen was relieved to not run into any snakes, but later that night he was jolted awake by an an uninvited “guest” in our bed!

Only 2% of the #Amazon Jungle is in Ecuador, and part of that is in the #Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, which is where we visited during our Ecuador trip. It was our first visit to the world's largest rainforest, and we already can't wait to go back and see more!

This is the sixth video in our first-ever international series! Quito, Ecuador was the first international trip we took together back in 2011. Eleven years later, it’s where we filmed our first international series and first drone footage for our channel! 

We spent two weeks in Ecuador this time, including Quito, day-trips to Mindo and Cotopaxi National Park, the Amazon, and one of our top-3 bucket list destinations: the Galápagos Islands!

Hot tip from Hot Springs – bring a tea bag. ☕️ 

We visited Hot Springs, Arkansas for an afternoon, and though we didn’t have enough time to bathe in the thermal waters, we did find one of several *hot* water fountains that are located around downtown and Hot Springs National Park. Next time, we’ll be sure to bring a tea bag and mug, and explore the park.
