When a builder names a tiny home after one of the most resilient migratory birds in North America, you expect it to go the distance. The Canada Goose by Mint Tiny House Company does exactly that. Built in Vancouver, British Columbia, this 42-foot gooseneck tiny home packs 392 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space onto a triple-axle trailer — and the Arctic Edition variant is engineered to handle Canadian winters without flinching.

What sets the Canada Goose apart from most gooseneck builds isn’t just its size. It’s the way Mint balances residential-quality finishes — exposed timber beams, butcher block counters, a glass-enclosed shower — with the practical realities of life on a trailer. Two separate bedrooms (a master over the gooseneck and a stair-access loft), a full galley kitchen, and a proper bathroom mean this home comfortably sleeps six without anyone feeling like they’re camping.
If you’re familiar with Mint’s work, you may have already seen their Traveler’s Paradise — another gooseneck model that showcases the company’s signature blend of craftsmanship and livability. The Canada Goose takes that same DNA and refines it with an even more polished interior design.
Open-Concept Living with Exposed Timber Beams
Step inside the Canada Goose and the first thing that catches your eye is the ceiling. Exposed timber beams run the length of the main living area, adding warmth and visual height that makes the space feel significantly larger than its 8-foot-6-inch width suggests. It’s a design choice that instantly elevates the interior from “tiny house” to “small home” — there’s nothing about this space that feels like a compromise.
The living room anchors the main floor with a generous seating area that flows into a breakfast bar with gold-accented stools. A large piece of modern art and a fiddle leaf fig plant add personality without cluttering the space. The open floor plan means you can see from the living room through the kitchen to the bathroom hallway, giving the entire home an airy, connected feel that many larger houses struggle to achieve.

A Full-Size Galley Kitchen Built for Real Cooking
Tiny house kitchens often force you to choose between counter space and appliances. The Canada Goose refuses to make that trade-off. The galley layout runs along one wall with butcher block counters providing a continuous, warm work surface that’s both beautiful and practical — butcher block is forgiving on dropped dishes, easy to maintain, and ages gracefully over time.
White Shaker-style cabinets with matte black hardware line the upper and lower sections, offering serious storage capacity. A Furrion RV propane oven sits below a gas cooktop with a stainless steel hood fan — a setup that lets you roast a full chicken or bake bread without relying on an electrical hookup. The apron-front farmhouse sink, paired with a modern matte black faucet, adds a residential touch that reinforces how far tiny house kitchens have come.

Stainless Appliances and Efficient Layout
Looking deeper into the kitchen, you can see how Mint maximized every inch of the galley layout. A 24-inch stainless steel refrigerator provides full-size cold storage without dominating the floor plan, while the range hood vents cooking odors — a critical detail in a small space where smells can linger.
From this angle, you also get a sense of the home’s clever floor plan: the kitchen transitions naturally into a hallway that leads to the bathroom, with the loft bedroom staircase and railing visible overhead. The exposed timber beam accents continue throughout, creating visual continuity that ties every zone of the home together.

A Spa-Worthy Bathroom with Glass-Enclosed Shower
The bathroom in the Canada Goose is one of the most impressive features of the entire build. A floating white vanity with gold-framed mirror and matte black faucet gives it a boutique hotel feel, while the full flush toilet (not a composting unit) means this home can connect to standard sewer or septic systems without any lifestyle adjustments.
But the real standout is the glass-enclosed shower with a black steel frame. At a size that actually lets you move your elbows, it’s a far cry from the cramped wet baths found in many tiny homes. A macrame wall hanging and woven basket add bohemian warmth to what could otherwise feel clinical — proof that thoughtful styling can make even a small bathroom feel like a retreat.
From the bathroom, wooden stairs lead up to the gooseneck master bedroom, creating a natural flow between the home’s private spaces.

Master Bedroom Over the Gooseneck
The gooseneck section of a trailer is prime real estate in tiny home design, and Mint uses it brilliantly here. The master bedroom sits elevated above the hitch, accessed by the wooden staircase from the bathroom below. A queen-size bed fits comfortably with room to spare on both sides — no shimmy-and-crawl required.
Windows on both walls flood the bedroom with natural light and provide cross-ventilation, while wall-mounted sconces eliminate the need for bedside tables. The vaulted ceiling follows the roofline, creating a sense of openness that most loft bedrooms can’t match. This isn’t a sleeping loft — it’s a proper bedroom, complete with standing headroom, that happens to be perched above a trailer hitch.

Stair-Access Loft with Built-In Shelving
The second sleeping area is a stair-access loft positioned above the kitchen and living room. Unlike ladder-access lofts that can feel precarious — especially at 3 AM — the full wooden staircase makes this space genuinely comfortable for daily use.
What makes this loft particularly clever is the built-in cubby shelving unit that serves double duty as both a safety railing and storage. Books, plants, and decorative items fill the cubbies, turning what would normally be dead railing space into functional display storage. The loft easily fits a queen-size mattress, and a small window at the far end provides ventilation and natural light.
Looking over the stair railing, you can see down into the kitchen below — a reminder of just how much living space Mint has stacked into this 42-foot footprint.
