If you’re dreaming of downsizing your space but upgrading your life, you’ve likely pictured yourself doing one thing: living large. With Simple Life, choosing a smaller home shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort, connection, or convenience. Instead, it’s about freeing up time and money to pursue the active, joyful lifestyle you’ve always wanted. That’s why our tiny home and cottage communities in Western North Carolina are meticulously planned around a suite of incredible, resident-exclusive, resort-style amenities and a rich calendar of activities. We handle the high-standard maintenance and management, and you just show up to enjoy the fun. Here’s a closer look at the vibrant spaces, features, and events that make every day at Simple Life an opportunity to explore, connect, and relax.
The Social Hub: Connection and Relaxation
Simple Life communities are intentionally designed to foster a strong sense of closeness and a neighborly feel. The amenity spaces are the very heart of this connection, offering comfortable spots for both organized fun and spontaneous socializing.
The Clubhouse and Community Pool
Our Clubhouse serves as the central gathering place, a beautiful extension of your living space perfect for events like painting classes, bingo, game nights, and community meetings. Inside, you’ll find cozy seating and private nooks, but the fun truly flows outward. The Clubhouse extends to an outdoor pavilion and pool deck, complete with a large gas grill for cookouts, a perfect spot for celebrating the gorgeous Carolina weather. Every Flat Rock, NC community features a sparkling pool with lounge chairs and tables, a serene oasis ideal for unwinding after an active day.
Community Firepit
Nothing brings people together quite like the warmth of a fire. Gather around one of our cozy fire pits to unwind, share stories, and socialize under the stars. Since our North Carolina communities are located near Asheville, the air is crisp, and the setting is serene, making the firepit an especially inviting place for evening connection.
