What's the vision for Gracious Tiny House Park in the coming years?
As of Spring 2019 we currently have three full time Tiny Housers on premises in addition to the little Cottage Camper. There is a THOW being built on site as well. (The building process is being documented and shared through facebook.com/TakeMeHomeTinyHouse Feel free to follow the build.
We are hoping that we grow to about 10 Tiny Houses and as the community develops we can decide if we want to all live in one section and separate it with a pretty white vinyl fence & landscaping around it or if we'll each choose our site location anywhere in the park (as we do now).
As mentioned before, we're also open to creating a community garden, compost bin and we're already planning a large fire ring out by the waterfront on my lot. (I live at site next to the fish cleaning area).
We're also open to other ideas and input from the Tiny Community.
