Today I’m really excited to share this enchanting wooden yurt with all of you, mostly because my husband and I actually stayed here last summer and can vouch for how awesome it is. I’m pretty obsessed with yurts, so getting to vacation in one was a dream come true, and this one was particularly amazing because of the history — it was built by Bill Coperthwaite in 1974, the pioneer of American yurt-building!
It’s nestled in the woods/pasture of the South of Monadnock intentional living community, and looks like something out of a storybook. The walls are all tilted out, so you walk through a funky door into the main room. My favorite part of the yurt by far is the cozy book-nook. It was the perfect spot to sit down with my morning coffee before getting ready for the day’s adventure.
You access the bedroom via ladder stairs, and it has a huge skylight for star-gazing! It was incredibly romantic and peaceful. Best of all, the hosts were incredibly kind, and supplied us with local maple syrup and farm-fresh eggs upon arrival. Can’t recommend this place enough! Book your stay on Airbnb here.

Like so many parents, Laura and Matt were working too hard to try and keep up with their $2,000/month mortgage and all their other bills on the dream home they built. But unlike many people, they sold the home and bought and renovated a bus so they could travel and appreciate minimalism!
They’ve been traveling (except during the shut-down) for just over a year now, and have plans to finish their round-Australia road trip once everything opens up again. Their bus includes three beds, a kitchen with an oven, and even a hide-away toilet (watch the video tour to find it!).
The couple told us they do have plans in the next year or so to purchase land where they can build a tiny house and have some roots, a washing machine, and a warm bath, but it doesn’t sound like they’re ever going back to “normal” life. Don’t miss our Q&A with them at the end of the post!

Tiny Heirloom in Oregon just shared this fantastic custom build they created for a client. This rustic-lodge-themed THOW is anything but ordinary, and so different from most of the more modern and bright builds we’re seeing lately (and that’s a good thing — love variety!).
From the arched doorway to the antler chandelier to the custom vine-inspired wrought iron railings, this tiny home feels like a woodland retreat. You have to check it out!
Custom build means a custom price, so you can contact Tiny Heirloom here for pricing.

Nineteen states and five National Parks later, the Chardoulias family of 6 (@cedarbendtravels on Instagram) is enjoying life on the road in their converted coach bus!
They raised Labradoodles for service and therapy work for a living, and it was challenging to travel. Their bus is 45 ft. long and eight ft. wide, giving them enough space to house the six of them and take their work (the pups!) on the road. So they removed a third of their belongings, sold their 4-bedroom home, and DIYed this bus renovation!
We interviewed Whitney’s mom about their tiny life, so check out the Q&A at the end of the post!

Amanda is a single mom of two girls (ages 8 and 2.5) on the Sunshine Coast of Australia who lives in not one but two tiny houses on wheels — one for the main living space and one split into separate bedrooms for each of her daughters. Built by Aussie Tiny Houses, the homes (168 and 219 square feet) are connected by a large covered porch that nearly doubles their usable space. Amanda is now debt-free, off-grid, and spends most of her time at home with her girls.

This is Sylvie’s Tiny Bubble — a gorgeous tiny house on wheels designed and built by La Tiny House in France. The home is similar to a teardrop camper, but with so much more space.
Her home was designed to be retirement-friendly. While it does feature a loft guest room, everything else Sylvie needs is on the first floor: A ground-floor bed, a wide-open floor plan, and a wet bath with plenty of space. Off the front door is a partially-enclosed porch that protects her from winds but still lets the light in!
