As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Pining to get away? Well, we’ve got just the spot – Longleaf Piney Resort! A tiny house resort, it’s comprised of several small abodes and a vintage Airstream. And while the accommodations are amazing, the locale is nothing to scoff at. It’s located along the Longleaf Trace, a 41-mile rail trail! Take a look:
South Mississippi’s premier glampground, Longleaf Piney Resort is located on the 9th mile of the Longleaf Trace in Hattiesburg.
Despite being located in one of Mississippi’s largest cities, you’ll feel as if you’re a million miles away when visiting, which likely has something to do with the towering pines and hardwoods that surround the resort.
Even though all of the abodes are outfitted with the comforts of home and a private campfire area, they’re not exactly alike. Each boasts some sort of unique feature, which includes everything from a transparent garage door opening to an attached deck.
Regardless of which lodging option you choose, you’re sure to be surprised at how spacious it is (for a tiny house, that is). Speaking of space, all of the abodes sleep four comfortably, except for The Fais Do Do, which sleeps two.
Make sure to bring your bike! A top-ranked rail trail, The Longleaf Trace is easily accessible from the resort and offers 41 miles of paved bike trails.
