A New Zealand family recently commissioned Build Tiny to create a vacation tiny home for them, inspired by the bachs in their area (“A bach is a small, often modest holiday home or beach house in New Zealand” – Wikipedia). As such, the tiny house prioritizes family space and an indoor-outdoor concept over having oodles of storage.
The two lofts on either side have beds for the parents and the kids, and the kitchen has plenty of space for making holiday meals. The entire living room wall opens up in good weather to the outdoor deck. Gorgeous!

Sierra owns and rents out three of the tiny homes built by Zion Tiny Homes and located in their tiny home resort in Utah. She carefully selected every detail to make it a fun and functional family-friendly stay for her guests.
The boho-style tiny house features a half-loft where the living room is on top and underneath there’s a queen bed. There’s also a queen bed up in the loft (accessible via ladder) and the couch folds out to sleep one. You’ll love the generous size of the bathroom, including a roomy glass shower.

This mountaintop tiny cabin sits on 99 acres of woodland just 2.5 hours outside of New York City. It’s been in Ken Phillips’ family for more than 70 years, but as things go, his family has little time to enjoy the property anymore, and it’s now for sale.
While the cabin itself is off-grid and a bit rustic, totaling just 350 square feet, the property it sits on is absolutely breathtaking and worth the $3.25 million price tag. What would you do with a property like this? Ken tells his story below…

Jeff Hirsch owns this beautiful Airbnb tiny house on Westchester County’s oldest working farm which he calls, “Camped Inn.” Jeff and his buddy Dave bought and renovated this 8.5′ x 16′ structure, turning it into perfect little off-grid vacation cabin, with the comforts of home and the surrounding beauty of a working farm.
You walk into a breezy living room that melds into the kitchen area. There’s a small bathroom at the very end, and a ladder takes you up to the loft bedroom with a skylight. You can sit out on the front porch to sip your morning coffee and enjoy the pastoral views. Read Jeff and Dave’s story below!

The Pond House, located on 19 acres of secluded woodlands, will seem worlds away from the city. The pond and abundance of trees create a peaceful backdrop for a family vacation just an hour and a half outside of New York City in Phillipsport, New York.
The cabin itself is a blend of industrial and modern, with rusty-colored siding, black-painted exposed beams, and plenty of minimalist furniture. It was designed by Sundial Studios Architect & Design. There are three bedrooms (two queens, and a bunk room) and two bathrooms. Tell us what you think!

Yvan and Sylvie are on their third bus conversion and loving every minute of the freedom (and early semi-retirement) that bus life offered them. Their marriage was struggling with Yvan gone for work all the time and Sylvie at home running the family business. So Yvan convinced his company to let him travel in their bus conversion, and they sold the business.
This is actually their third bus conversion, and it’s absolutely brilliant! Every inch of space has been carefully designed to be as functional as possible — and they even have an 8×8 bathroom in the back of the bus. The kitchen is large so they can do all the cooking they love, and they have a passenger seat up front so they can talk while driving. Pretty great!

This couple enjoyed working on yachts for a while until they were inspired to buy a short school bus to convert into their DIY motorhome. They fixed it up and used it on weekends at first, but they grew tired of the “go-go-go” lifestyle and eventually quit their jobs so they could hit the road, enjoying a more relaxed pace of life.
Their short school bus conversion has a beautiful bathroom, plenty of seating for guests (which also doubles as their bed), and a special higher purpose: they use it to foster dogs on the road.

One of the awesome things to happen over the past two years is the influx of remote work opportunities that are allowing people to have more location flexibility. That’s seen in Kristine & Brandon’s #vanlife story. One works as a CPA and the other as a recruiter, and both are able to work full-time in their beautiful Promaster conversion.
But, of course, home can be anywhere! Their rig has stunning wood countertops, lots of cabinets, and an ample garage to store the always-needed-to-fix-things tools. There’s a special under-bed cubby for their dog, and they don’t have plans to return to “normal life” soon.

When Chuck mentioned the idea of traveling the country in their renovated RV, Shannon was having none of it. But two weeks later, she fell down the Skoolie YouTube rabbit hole and was completely on board. They ended up selling their home, almost all their stuff, and purchasing their Class A RV completely debt-free!
Their debt-free lifestyle has allowed them to experiment with different online income streams and not work traditional jobs while they explore. They overhauled their RV with a lot of white paint, took out upper cabinets that were in the way, and replaced the couch. What do you think?
