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.

While we all enjoy a five-star luxury getaway every so often, it’s also nice to visit the opposite end of that spectrum, too. You won’t find an AirBnB rental in North Carolina quite like The Roost, a rustic hideout found near Swannanoa.

Custom built and modeled after an Iriquois Longhouse, The Roost is filled with one-of-a-kind charm.

The Roost not only has electricity, but also has a small kitchenette that includes an electric hot plate, a kettle, plates, bowls, cups, and silverware. There's a French press for your morning coffee, a wine opener for your afternoon and evening beverages, and a private fire pit suitable for cooking.
There's an outhouse on site and not far away. Additionally, an outdoor bucket shower (and water) are provided by the owners so you can take a shower.

The Roost reportedly has spotty cell service, but WiFi is available at the tiny house and if you switch your phone to WiFi calling, you'll be able to make and receive calls as long as you're nearby the tiny house. Don't be surprised if you just choose to fully unplug. This is a wonderful place to just turn the phone off, period.
