Winter at Tiny Escape

The Experience

People love to visit Tiny Escape for the sun, the pool, to hike and great attractions, so why visit in the winter?  Well, first let’s set the stage.  November through January have the most precipitation.  Temperatures can dip below 0 C at night.  While it can feel like the land is asleep, winter is actually a season of preparation.  Trees deepen their roots, plants store nutrients and the landscape gathers strength for the year ahead.  We like to think our guests can do the same.  There’s something rejuvenating about being inside your warm tiny home while rain taps on the roof; coffee, hot tea or cocoa, cozy clothes and nowhere you need to be.  Winter days naturally encourage reading, reflection and thoughtful conversations.  It can be a space to slow down, make decisions or just simply rest.  But it’s not all about hanging out in your house.  Particularly for you photographers, it can be one of the best times to visit.  The morning mists make your photographs come alive with mystery.  Watching the fog roll through our valley is truly beautiful.  Popular nearby attractions feel refreshingly uncrowded.  In fact, there are very few things that you cannot do in the winter that you do the rest of the year.  It just feels more reflective and intentional.
