About the host
Hosted by Natalie and Eric Wetherington
Hi! Thank you for choosing the Happy Shack Mountainside! You will love our little slice of heaven! We have been married for almost 25 years, we love to travel and explore. We are Realtors from Tampa Bay, Florida and we love to escape to the mountains. We just had to have a sweet place to escape to! We love our tiny home because it is so close to downtown, yet you feel a world-away! There is so much to do in the area and we just love that. This home is perfect for a quiet get-away or a place to lay your head after the many outdoor adventures that are offered here.
Happy Shack Mountainside is our second Happy Shack that we own. We also own a monthly rental, Happy Shack Beachside in Sunset Beach, Treasure Island. We now have the best of both worlds and we can't wait to share them with you!
