About this property

Modern Private Tiny Home in the Forest

Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. The Pocket Getaway is a new listing in the Slocan Valley and can be your home away from home, providing all the comforts you need for a vacation or work-retreat. This beautiful tiny house has a large private yard with fabulous views of the surrounding forest and hills. It is located at Big Calm, an emerging tiny homesteads community, mid-way between Winlaw and Slocan. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore tiny living!

The space

This home has a fully stocked modern galley kitchen, a queen bedroom loft (accessible by stairs) with storage cabinets, a small work desk/eating area, a spa inspired bathroom with large shower, and a full-sized couch which pulls out to become a double bed. The 10 windows allow for lots of natural sunlight and make this 215sq’ home feel large and open. This space is ideal for one or two people but can accommodate up to four people when the sofa-bed is utilized. There are multiple cupboards, closets, and shelves for you to store your personal items during your stay.

Guest access

The tiny home property has a large yard with a patio set and a fire pit that are available for guests (fires are not permitted during local fire-ban). Guests are welcome to explore the 30-acre property and enjoy the nature trails throughout the forest.
Other things to note
It is not uncommon for there to be bears and other wildlife on the property. Be sure to educate yourself on how to act safely in bear country before visiting the Pocket Getaway.

Big Calm Tiny Homestead is currently in the building phase and the Pocket Getaway is the first tiny home available as a guest rental on the property. There are two other tiny homes on the 30 acre property, as well as a converted barn-loft that serves as our hosts' home.

There is no cell service in the immediate area, however our property has Starlink satellite providing high-speed wifi.

The driveway to the property is a winding, uphill drive for approximately 900 meters and is bumpy and muddy at times. Most vehicles are fine, however low-clearance cars may not be ideal (we have had a visitor drive a Smart Car without a problem).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
