The meticulously designed 130 square-foot Tiny Geopod uses every inch and lacks for nothing.
With the small interior footprint, most of the space is dedicated to three truly magical outdoor areas. The outdoor main deck has a breakfast bar area, gas fire pit, and seating area to relax and enjoy nature. The second outdoor space brings you even further among the trees, accentuating the winter views of the mountains. Read a good book, take a nap, enjoy the view of the trees while relaxing on the outdoor patio furniture, or relax in the hot tub after a nice day of hiking. The third space is a unique outdoor kitchen and bathroom (partially used during winter). Cook delicious meals on the cute small gas stove top or grill to your heart’s content on the stainless 3-burner gas grill. You can expect to see birds, deer, and other wildlife while you enjoy the outdoors.
The Tiny Geopod was built with all the essentials and packaged into a cozy, comfortable, and retreat-like space. With an emphasis on sustainability, the Geopod is powered by the nearby community solar garden, and guests can reduce waste by recycling and composting on the property. A well-equipped kitchen (please note: kitchen sink will be closed during winter and only disposable plates/cups cutlery provided during this time; the grill will still be available for cooking; water is available from the bathroom sink inside the insulated/heated bathroom), unique high-end bathroom, convertible working/dining area, and comfy sleeping space with cozy sheets are a few of the features. Use high-speed Wi-Fi to watch a movie on your laptop or tablet while relaxing after a day of exploring. A coffee and tea bar, along with shampoos/soaps, are just a few other amenities.
