THOW with Hidden Tub in Deck 001

Monique and Aswan (@living.laarge) wanted to build something together, so they spent months meticulously planning out their own tiny house, called the Tyny, which they now sell plans for online (get them here).

This eco-friendly abode features tons of hidden storage and a multi-purpose couch/bed/dinette they designed themselves. The coolest feature, though, might be the bathtub hidden under their deck! Monique and Aswan both have “normal” jobs in the city which they work at part-time, but tiny living has cut down their living costs drastically.

We got to do an email Q&A with the couple which talks about how much they spent and their build process, which you can read after the photo tour of their stunning tiny house.

Natura Tiny Housing Co 009

Today we wanted to introduce you to the UK-based tiny house builder, The Tiny Housing Co., and one of their models, the Natura. This home has a totally unique roof-line that makes it stand out in the crowd of tiny homes.

The interior is sleek and modern, and if you upgrade to the “eco” package you’ll get even more solar panels to make it possible to get nearly all your electricity off-the-grid. There’s also an option for a wood-burning stove connected to under-floor heating — how cool!

The Natura starts at 49,999 GBP (~$63,700 USD), while the “eco” upgrades come in at 54,999 GBP (~$70,000 USD). You can buy yours here.

Vintage vacation? Enjoy stepping back in time in this lovely renovated 1955 travel trailer at Asheville Glamping! She’s called the Silver Bettie.

The trailer sleeps 4 (one bedroom and one pull-out couch) and stretched 31 feet. The best feature? A four person hot tub! Even though the trailer is a piece of history, they added modern touches like a tiled shower with excellent water pressure and air conditioning to keep you cool.

You can book your stay in this old-fashioned RV here.

Here’s another beautiful vacation THOW located in the Acony Bell Tiny Home Village just outside of Asheville in North Carolina. While the community has rental lots for long-term tiny house dwellers, it also offers a number of vacation tiny homes so you can try out your tiny lifestyle before taking the plunge.

Built by ESCAPE Traveler, this 340 foot square foot house is reliably built and features both a queen-sized downstairs bedroom and a queen-sized loft. You’ll also get a spacious bathroom with a full shower/tub so you don’t have to sacrifice on comfort during your stay.

You can book your stay over at Airbnb!

I’ve wanted a tree house ever since I saw the tree house village they built in Swiss Family Robinson! But, because these are up in the trees so few include running hot water, which is something I’m quite accustomed to. That’s why The Nest in the Asheville Glamping (@ashevilleglamping) campground is so nice — all the wonders of a treehouse, including the suspension bridge, along with an indoor bathroom.

The bridges take you to the lovely craftsman front door. The home has board and batten siding that’s painted a forest green to blend into the trees. There’s a lovely side deck with chairs where you can take in the woodland views. Inside is a small kitchenette, bench couch seating, and a queen-sized bed.

Book your stay in this lovely tree house here.

While we introduced you to Tiny Tranquility back in 2018, much more has happened since then! The area is more developed, and has a waiting list for long-term stays, I’m afraid! There are 5 TruForm Tiny Houses at the park, which you can see in the video below.

The park has 43 sites which accept RVIA-certified tiny houses on wheels. Sites include water, power, and sewer hookups, free wifi, parking for one car (additional car — and boat — parking available) and between 2,400 and 4,000 square feet of lot space. The village now includes a Lodge complete with a 65″ flat screen TV, multiple seating areas, a wood stove, ping pong and pool tables, covered eating and grilling area and a fire pit/seating area. There’s also a 5,000 square foot dog park, a grassy park for people, and a 12,000 square foot greenhouse you can rent a part of to grow your own veggies!

Lot rent is around $575/month, plus electricity, and plot of greenhouse space is an additional $65-$150 a month. To request a spot on the waiting list or to visit the park, email tinytranquilitypark@gmail.com.

In addition to long-term stays, the park also has a handful of tinies and Airstreams you can rent on a nightly basis for vacation. One of those, the Sandbug, was built by TruForm Tiny and is absolutely gorgeous. See pictures of it below, and rent it here.

Yes, there are still more tiny house rentals at the Acony Bell Tiny House Community in North Carolina we want to show you! This Airbnb, called the Firefly Hideaway, sleeps 6 (4 adults and 2 kids).

There is a ground floor queen-sized bedroom and a loft with another queen. The sofa folds out into a third sleeping area for two. My favorite feature is the large kitchen with a full-sized oven. Cooking for your family while on vacation is a great way to save some money!

You can book the home on Airbnb.

It has both long-term rental sites, and short-term Airbnb sites, which are separated. Lot rent for long-term rentals includes water, sewer, garbage, recycling, and common area maintenance. While rent varies by spot, it’s around $550/month.

Communal amenities include community gardens, edible landscapes, walking paths, a mountain bike trail, stocked fire rings, and a Community Center. You’ll be living among people who also want a minimalist lifestyle! Tours are given Saturdays from 9-12 by appointment, but you can see some pictures of the space below.
