572-sq-ft SledHaus Prefab Home A Big Tiny House 0012

This is what we would call a big tiny house because it’s a 572-sq.-ft. space with a one bedroom, one bathroom layout built to IRC code featuring a spacious main-floor bedroom.

It can be used as similarly to a park model, accessory dwelling unit, or recreational home. Here’s what the unit looks like built-out, it’s their Sledhaus model. Since Natalie originally featured them in 2017, they have added five other design offerings. Learn more below!

This is the story of Kristie Wolfe and the giant potato tiny house that she built in Idaho. This was, of course, after spending a year touring the United States with it to promote Idaho potatoes with the Famous Idaho Potato Tour. If you used to get out a lot, maybe you’ve seen it before!

But it wasn’t until around seven years later when the potato was finally retired, that Kristie Wolfe was able to start making her dream of turning it into a tiny house, come true. Now, it’s known as the Potato Hotel and it’s located about 20-minutes away from Boise, Idaho.

This is the story of my stay in the Mount Dora Tiny House! It’s an Escape Vista Boho tiny house on wheels that’s beautifully stationed in Mount Dora, Florida, a beautiful little town near Orlando.

So in early March, I got to stay here! It was the first time in a while that I have gotten to spend the night in a tiny house on wheels, and the first time ever getting to stay in an ESCAPE. So I was super excited, and it went great. I actually did a video all about it that you can enjoy below. It’s been a while since I made a tiny house video like this, but I did spend a lot of time editing it, so I sure hope you enjoy it.

Tiny House Parking Story with Zeena Fontanilla 5

The truth is, they didn’t have tiny house parking figured out before they started building because they just started building their tiny house on family land and figured it would all work out.

And lucky for them, it worked out quite nicely! Once the word got out as to what they were doing, it came up that Zeena’s father-in-law goes to church with someone who has 5 acres of agricultural land. And that’s how they landed a deal to park their tiny home on wheels for $400 per month in a location that they absolutely love. So that’s how they did it, but it’s not always this easy! And while they don’t recommend it doing it this way (blind faith), they did come up with 6 questions to ask yourself before finding land for your tiny house that might be really helpful for you (see below).
