If you are planning a visit to Prince Edward County and are looking for a unique place to stay, I’ve got the perfect place for you : Tiny Stays. Located just a few minutes outside of the County, Tiny Stays has the cutest and coziest tiny houses for your next getaway. This blog post will tell you everything you need to know before your night(s) with Tiny Stays.
I can’t explain why, but I just love tiny cabins! It might be because they are always so cozy, or because I’m tiny myself (I’m 5’0 feet!), but I just love them. So when Tiny Stays invited me to spend the night at one of their cabins in Prince Edward County, I immediately said yes. Here is what you need to know for your next tiny cabin stay! The rest is now history… I’ve now stayed in 3 of their 4 tiny houses and it would be absolutely impossible for me to pick a favorite.
So if you love tiny houses just as much as me, here’s what you need to know for your next visit at Tiny Stays!
The Cabins
Tiny Stays as 4 tiny cabins that are all next to each other in a small seasonal camping ground in Tyendinaga (Mohawk Territory), across from Prince Edward County. Each cabin has it’s own unique style and perfectly decorated. The Nest and The Loft are both tiny cabins with full kitchen and bathroom (with a shower), a living space and a loft bedroom. The Nook is a bit different : it’s a small, open space caravan, also with a full kitchen and bathroom. The Nook also has an outside bathtub to pamper yourself after a day of adventures. The Nomad is the newest addition to the Tiny Stay family. Added in May 2024, this 1971 renovated Airstream is a vintage dream!
The Nomad : Airstream Dream
The Nest : The Cozy Retreat
The Nook : The Tinyest and the Cutest
The outside
Outside of each cabin, you’ll find a BBQ, fire pit surrounded by cozy chairs and a hammock! Each cabin also comes with it’s own canoe that you can bring down the road to the river.
Each cabin also comes with it’s own little unique surprise. The Nest has an indoor & outdoor bar top, that can also serve as a desk.The Nook and the Nomad both have their private outdoor soaker tub with a rainfall shower. And the Loft (the only one I have not stayed in yet…) has an outdoor wood pizza oven.
The Inside
On the inside, this cabins are thoughtfully designed, ensuring that every detail is taken care of. Every square inch has been utilized to make sure you have everything you need. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a gaz stove top, a deep sink, a microwave, toaster and a coffee bar.
Warning // Running water gets turned off after Thanksgiving long weekend in October until May long weekend to prevent pipes from freezing. But don’t worry, they leave a 5L jug of water for you to use during this period.
Each cabin also has a full bathroom with a shower. A luxury in such tiny spaces!
It’s also worth nothing that the WIFI connexion is extremely good! So this makes it the perfect place for remote work!
