Gunlock State Park now offers tiny homes for visitors — but there’s some fine print

In the announcement post, the park noted that guests are required to stay for a minimum of two nights.

The tiny houses are available to reserve online — but they are listed as cottages rather than tiny homes. To find them, select “Cabins, yurts or lodgings” in the “Find a campsite” menu.

There are three options for the tiny homes, aptly named “Cottage A” — which is said to be handicap accessible — “Cottage B” and “Cottage C.” Each tiny house is said to hold up to 6 people.
