A Winter Getaway



Not sure if you want to venture out in the cold and snow of the winter season?  Let us help you change your mind. If you haven't made Valentine's day plans yet and are considering coming to TE, not only do we have cozy and charming tiny homes, but lots of great things to do while you are here. Can you see yourself in your comfy loungewear, drinking something hot from a mug, nestled up under a warm blanket on the couch with someone you love?  We can offer you some romantic ways to spend Valentine’s weekend, or any winter weekend.

Things to do here over the winter:
Right now, there are some great activities happening while you’re staying with us at TE.  There are a variety of options to choose from including indoor ice skating, extreme tubing to chocolate classes. 

Avalanche Express in nearby York, PA, offers a huge 900 ft extreme snow tubing hill with lots of lanes to choose from.  They also will warm you up with large fire pits located at the bottom of the hill, and a tavern for some hot chocolate or adult drinks just a few steps away.

Roundtop Resort is a great option for skiing, tubing, and snowboarding.  They offer great specials for their learn to ski or snowboard sessions.  There are lots of trails to choose from a bunny hill to 9 black diamond slopes.  Warm up in the lodge with food, warm drinks and listen to live music on select nights.

The annual Lititz Fire & Ice Fest is coming up again February 15-16.  This event has been going on for a long time and is a fun-filled time for families, couples or friends.  You can enjoy walking the streets of Lititz and viewing the amazing works of art carved out of ice.  Shop quaint one of kind stores, sample foods from the local restaurants, as well as satisfy your hunger with several food trucks, taste the chilis from the cook-off, browse the vendor fair and take the kids to the children’s carnival.

Just 20 minutes away from TE, in Hershey, you will find Chocolate-Covered February.  It is a month-long chocolate-themed event held in Hershey that spans many venues, offering lots of activities from chocolate martini mixology classes, creating your chocolate bars and truffles, chocolate sculptures, chocolate tea, wine, and chocolate pairings, chef presentations, chocolate dessert buffets, chocolate spa treatments, and special couple’s chocolate classes.  Kids can enjoy the Hershey character events and parades.  Zoo America will offer $6 admission on Fridays in February, and Swan Lake will be putting on a production at the Hershey Theatre.

We can’t forget to mention we have some great restaurants to satisfy any foodie, from casual tastes to upscale fine dining.

What to expect:
During the winter season, we still have our outdoor hot tubs up and running for you to relax in.   They are both located underneath cabanas, next to the propane firepits. You can enjoy a fun-filled day then come back to your tiny house, maybe open up some bubbly while relaxing in a hot tub, then snuggle up on the couch for a night movie watching.  This would be a good time to enjoy the snacks in the free-gift bag we provide our guests at check-in.


We are using space heaters to supplement the split heating and air conditioning units so you might want to bring an extra blanket if you are colder than most.  Warm socks and slippers are nice since cold air can circulate under the house and floors can feel colder, bring your favorite coffee, hot chocolate, or warm spiced wine.

I would recommend a pair of boots or hikers.  The property is nice to walk around and take in the scenery of the ponds and all the other tiny houses we have. Think of it as "glamping", and bring with you what would make you comfortable.  We provide all the linens, pots and pans and necessities from home.  While you are here, you can possibly join a tour and get to get an inside look at other models and tiny home designs. Just let us know when you book your stay that you would like a tour.  It's not too late to book your winter getaway.

The Houses: The Low Country September 9, 2018  Many of you maybe already familiar with the Low Country. It made a quite an impression when it arrived here at Tiny Estates, and for good reason. This tiny house has big personality and lots of rustic style. Built on a 39 ½’ gooseneck trailer, this low country rustic timber home has plenty of space with 379sq ft of space to call home. When you open the custom wood door and walk in, you get a beautiful aroma of fresh cut lumber. Everyone walks in and takes in a big whiff, breathe it in, it’s awfully nice. You’ll be amazed at the custom-built wood cabinetry with built wine glass holder, granite counter tops and full-size appliances. If you ever wanted to try tiny, but thought you couldn’t handle a tight space, this is the house for you! Custom wood floors, walls and ceilings lend a masculine feel to the interior with rustic touches of décor throughout. Custom bucket light shades and a fabulously tiled and stone bathroom

The Houses:   The Skyline The Skyline is one of the newest additions to our already great lineup of tiny homes.   But if you are looking for something a little different, this house has some great unique features. 274sq ft doesn’t seem like a lot of space, but you will be surprised at how well this space has been designed.   It sleeps up to 6 people with two queen lofts and a fold out sofa. Both loft spaces are unique with two different and unique sets of steps to access the lofts. One loft has walk up stairs that wind along the wall and up to the sleeping area with a queen bed.   The other has a different type of stairs that almost appear floating, those are pictured below that leads to the loft where there is a custom live edge wood piece that serves as an artful headboard and queen bed.

30amp vs 50amp, What do you need? Wiring and electrical issues can be overwhelming to someone who doesn’t have experience installing wiring in a tiny house.   We recommend you use only experienced and licensed electricians who have experience wiring a tiny house and knowledge of the NEC (national electric code) guidelines as well as local regulations.   Local regulations will come into play if you are planning on having your tiny parked in one spot all the time.   Tiny home policies and regulations are not the norm yet but have been adopted and put in place in some areas for your safety.   So make sure you do your homework and know all the necessary policies regarding your home. 30 to 50 amp adapter When you are building a tiny house, you need to thoroughly communicate with your builder what your needs are as far as appliances and what types of things you will be operating that will draw electric.   Most good and well-seasoned builders are going to know what amp s
