About This Space Have it both ways with the Tiny Geopod - a retreat in nature AND a 5 minute walk to historic downtown Todd or a 15 to 20 min. drive to downtown Boone and W.Jefferson. Enjoy the well appointed Tiny Pod and three unique outdoor spaces, with private access to a hot tub, fire table, gazebo and comfy outdoor furniture. Cook meals in the Pod's outdoor kitchen (partially functional during winter) or outdoor grilling area. Relax and refresh while experiencing the joy of tiny living! The Space The Tiny Geopod was designed and built with the vision for simple yet comfortable living that supports a deep connection with nature and a smaller footprint on the planet. The meticulously designed 130 square foot Tiny Geopod with additional 145 sq ft bath/kitchen&nbsp;makes use of every inch and lacks for nothing. With the small interior footprint, the majority of the space is dedicated to three truly magical outdoor areas. The outdoor main deck is equipped with a breakfast bar area, gas fire pit, and seating area to relax and enjoy nature in. 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, or 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 (partially functional during winter - see details below) and bathroom space. 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 about while you enjoy the outdoors. The Tiny Geopod itself 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 from the nearby community solar garden and guests can reduce waste by recycling and composting on the property. A well equipped kitchen [Please note: the kitchen sink will be closed during winter and only disposable plates/cups cutlery (no pots or pans) will be provided during winter months.
