Cool little community. One thing to be aware of is parking if you drive a large truck can be difficult.

Thanks and I agree, Marshall, such a cool community with amazingly friendly people.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Newton
Hi, I’m Michelle — a California native turned Tennessee tiny-home adventurer!
A global soul at heart, I spent summers in Spain throughout my youth, which sparked a lifelong love for travel, culture, and a career in international sales and marketing. After a shoulder injury (and two surgeries) reshaped my priorities — and a little nudge from the Covid reset — I decided to shake things up. I rented out my Orange County home, bought a tiny home in Tennessee, and hit the road with my two Chihuahua mixes, Rex & Remi.
Six cross-country road trips later (thank you, Tesla FSD), I’ve fallen in love with the simplicity of tiny-home living, the creativity of Airbnb hosting, and the freedom to explore new ventures on my own terms.
When I’m not welcoming guests, you’ll find me crocheting, gardening, on my motorcyle or expanding my LEGO Botanical Collection — proof that small spaces can still have big personality. I’m obsessed with travel, tech, design, and of course, my dogs — who have yet to complain about my playlists.
A proud Pepperdine MBA alum, I’ve built a life that blends creativity, business, and adventure — and I’m so glad you’re part of it.
Whether you’re here to unwind, recharge, or experience a taste of tiny living, welcome! I hope you feel right at home
