The Backpacker

Our "Backpacker" is a cute and cozy 96 sq.ft. of tiny house nirvana.

For those looking for luxury, the Backpacker is not for you (you may encounter bugs and it's really hot in summer). However, the Backpacker has a pretty cool vibe, and is extremely convenient to historic Charleston and Funky Folly Beach. The Backpacker is for backpackers and nature lovers.
