Carriage House at Country Club of Orlando

Who’d have thought that one of the best Orlando Airbnbs would be a charming little carriage house? But that’s exactly the case with this tiny house Airbnb in Orlando, located at the city’s country club near the downtown area. Even if you have no interest in golfing, you’re bound to enjoy this private retreat at the end of the day.

This pretty Airbnb earns the name of “The Little Treehouse 2” from the many plants around its gorgeous wooden interior, creating the illusion that you’re hidden away up in the trees. In reality, it’s more of a cabin or tiny house, making it a little more functional and accessible. Its studio layout centers on the four-poster queen bed and provides a cozy living area, where you can watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on the TV over the fireplace.

Given the house’s intimate design, it’s impressive that there’s enough room for a kitchenette with a minifridge, coffee maker, and microwave – though you might not even need it, as superhosts Dave and Jean provide breakfast each morning. Other perks include access to bicycles, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning.
