A great stop for an overnight in the Rockland area. Close to downtown and the ferry terminal if heading to the islands. The tiny house was well laid out, very clean and comfortable for the two of us.

Nice find

This tiny house is very sweet and clean, and well worth what you get. It’s out of downtown but an easy short drive in. The bed was very comfortable. Rockland is a nice resort town to visit.

Exactly as described, clean and easy entry. Super close to a park which was great for my little one before heading to the ferry. Great host communication and quick responses. Also helped us find and recover our kiddo's blanky that we left behind!

Simplicity Review

Very nice. Super clean and very inexpensive. A tiny house will have its quirks, but our only issue was with the lack of privacy in the bathroom (only a curtain).

Small space

Overall a nice place. Being older and a "plus size" person, the shower was a bit of a challenge, as was the bed( it sits against the wall)

If you are interested in trying out Tiny House living, this is perfect. Beautiful neighborhood and a brand new Tiny House all to yourself. It is a VERY nice house - excellent first experience for us. Short drive to town and restaurants. Highly recommended if you want a small, bright, new place to stay.

Rockland cottage

Nice property, great location, very complete kitchen. Probably better suited for single guest as bed small, up against wall is hard to get into/out of. No privacy with bathroom arrangement.

This was a great fit for us, plus it gave us a wonderful tiny house experience. Our host Elaine, has put a lot of thought and effort into setting up and stocking the space. Elaine was a great host!!! The tiny house was built in 2023 if I remember correctly. We stayed two nights.

Cute, cozy, comfortable, clean

I live locally but needed a place in town for the night and next morning. This worked out really beautifully for me. The space is cozy, and all the details were considered. I appreciated that after a long, hot day at work, the room was cooled by the heat pump for me when I arrived. Everything was super clean. It's a tiny home space, and everything was organized and easy to find. The one thing someone might want to be aware of is that the shower is very small which is to be expected in a tiny home. I was just surprised that there could be a shower that small. Not a deal breaker for me, but just something to be aware of if you like a more indulgent wash.
