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—Lake Glenville 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 and get out at East LaPorte Park to have a picnic. In the evenings, eat under the trees at your outdoor dining table for two and let the creek do the talking. With 11 windows in a tiny space, this is nature immersion at its best.
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 both Keurig and drip coffee options using local beans.
Your stay helps us grow a nonprofit orchard that supplies local food banks—thank you for being part of it!

The creek is reached via a short path; it can be slippery so use care. Adventure seekers only!
