Hi! Seth and Emmye are hosts for unique homes atop Lookout Mountain. In 2018, we went on an adventure to fine our first home and job after college. The first tiny home we stayed in made us fall in love with this area, community, and a new concept of living. We wanted to create an opportunity for others around the world to experience this new way of life and explore the surrounding areas, state parks, and mountain towns. Seth & Emmye Wilson
