The Magnolia Mini is an adorable, brand new tiny house just a 5-minute walk from Downtown Norcross, GA. It has large windows, lots of natural light, a tiny but well-equipped kitchen, a washer/dryer, mini-fridge, 55" TV, and a pull-out sofa that can sleep 1. The Magnolia Mini can sleep 3. There is a private outdoor bistro table for your use, and a shared backyard space complete with a fire pit & hammock. Families and children are welcome; pack n'play and high chair available upon request.
The Magnolia Mini is a newly-built, white-washed 1/1 tiny house with a small but well-equipped kitchen, large cedar shower, 2-person couch, 55” TV, large windows, barstool dining area, and a combo washer/dryer unit. Walk straight through the back yard to reach downtown Norcross in 5 minutes. You have your own outdoor dining area, as well as access to a shared backyard space which includes a hammock and fire pit. The couch also pulls out into a twin-sized bed, it needed, for an additional guest. 1 parking space is available on the street, and a lighted, gravel pathway leads you through the fence gate directly to the tiny house.
You will have your own private entrance through our fence to access the Magnolia Mini, and a shared pedestrian gate in the backyard that gives you direct access to downtown Norcross. Backyard space—including a natural gas fire pit and hammock—is shared with guests from our 2 other rental units on the property and is the only shared space on the property. You will have your own, private outdoor seating area at the front entrance of the tiny house.
For any questions or concerns during your stay, you will be able to message or call us directly. We want our guests to have a great experience, and we’d love the chance to address any issues you may have as soon as possible. Additionally, we offer in-person support/maintenance when needed.
Conveniently located within walking distances of all the best restaurants, activities, and park amenities that Historic Downtown Norcross has to offer, in addition to being a 10-minute drive to the Forum at Peachtree Corners. Downtown Norcross is an active downtown area with local events weekly, and the local police and fire station are nearby as well. We are only a 3-minute drive from Flint Hill and 173 Carlyle House for those attending a local wedding, and 18-minutes away from the Perimeter Chapel.
The Magnolia Mini is in a private backyard behind an elementary school. Please note that Historic Norcross has trains pass through downtown frequently, and this train is 3 houses away from our home. We consider this to be part of the experience at the Crossing Collective, but have provided sound machines in every bedroom for those who are lighter sleepers.
Interstate 85, 285, and 141 are all only 10 minutes away. Without traffic, we are only 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta!
You may park 1 car on the street in front of the right side of the main house, and a lighted, gravel pathway to the right side of the main house leads to the tiny house in the backyard. From the Magnolia Mini, you can get to downtown Norcross in 2 minutes by car, or 5-8 minutes by foot.
The Magnolia Mini tiny house is in the backyard of our main house (the Crossing House), and shares the backyard space with the Crossing House and 1 other unit (the Cozy cottage), which together make up the Crossing Collective. The backyard space is the only shared space on the property, and we have quiet hours between 10pm to 8am to ensure all guests have a pleasant stay and that our neighbors are happy. There is a smoke and decibel meter that will notify you via text if you reach the noise limits for our area, or if you are found to be smoking (cigarette, cigar, vaping, or marijuana) on the property. Please note that it does NOT monitor or record conversations, but simply the noise level and the presence of smoke.
About Us: At the end of 2021, we got married just down the street at Flint Hill, with a rehearsal dinner at the 173 Carlyle House, and we loved the area so much we bought this house as place to come back to when we are in town. It is our first home together and we wanted it to bless others like it has already blessed us, so we decided to renovate it and add 2 additional units in the backyard to be able to host more people in one place. When we got married in 2021, there were no options like this available to host Catherine’s family from out of town, so we wanted to create a space where sweet memories can be made for our guests. We are usually traveling for work, but Daniel’s mom, Bonnie, and cousin, Jessica, are just down the road for any needs that may arise during your stay. We hope you love our homes as much as we do; we had you in mind as we built them!
