Little River Escape, a tiny house community in Cloudland, GA is hosting the 9th Tiny House Roadshow May 19-21, 11-5 EDT.
This event will feature tiny homes in natural settings to provide a better sense of tiny house living. Living in smaller homes isn't just about the homes — it's also about the surroundings, whether it's a suburban neighborhood or a mountaintop. It's sometimes hard to imagine how a tiny house lifestyle will fit into a community, or your own property. There will be at least 17 tiny houses, ranging in size from 150 ft.² to 1000 ft.², as well as vendors booths with products and services supporting the tiny house movement. This "on location" roadshow is the first of its kind offering houses, land, community, and fun! We’ll have music and food so plan to spend the day.
Tickets may be purchased online through our website for $12, or at the gate for $15. And if you can't make the event, be sure to stop in for a tour Thursdays – Saturdays, 11 – 5, or Sundays 1- 5. All times EDT. For more information, call Sylvia Brophy, 770-262-7140.
