Open studio space with a full size bed, living room and kitchen plus separate bedroom with bunk beds. Fits 4 people comfortably. You would never know its a renovated mobile home as it's more reminiscent of a rustic mountain cabin! The place is super quirky and perfectly imperfect. I like to think of it as rich with character! 3 min drive from downtown :)
