Catalina Tiny House with Ground-Floor Bedroom & Full Soaking Tub

The Catalina by Modern Tiny Living is a luxury tiny house on wheels designed to answer one of the most common requests in the tiny home world: a ground-floor bedroom. Built by the Columbus, Ohio-based builder known for high-end craftsmanship, this model proves you can have both accessibility and style in a compact footprint.

What sets the Catalina apart is its spa-like bathroom featuring a full soaking tub, pebble tile work, a Nature’s Head composting toilet, and a washer/dryer combo. The gourmet kitchen includes an oven, cooktop, full-sized refrigerator, and custom cabinetry. A loft above provides a second sleeping area, storage space, or even a home office.

While MTL offers full customization on colors and finishes, the showroom model features a stunning sage green, grey, and rich wood tone palette that breaks away from the all-white farmhouse trend. Let us know what you think in the comments!

    LOVE the bathroom. I’d like a tub like that myself

    I like the inside… the outside not so much. The brown of the wood in the middle of the black looks so so incongruous.

    I like the shape of it. The angles are appealing.

    Love this house. I couldn’t live in it (cannot do tubs — cannot get up and down), but what a gorgeous home! I assume the board/s over the toilet are removable, or the toilet is on a slide — obviously cannot sit on it unless one or the other is the case! LOL!

      The table over the toilet is hinged in the middle, which means it folds in half and against the wall. Kinda like those RV stoves with the top that folds back to become the backsplash…

      I did notice that as well Nancy! I do believe the countertop flips up.

    For us, extending the end wall three feet center the bed for walk around and eliminating the loft would be better as we are over 75. A simple two-burner induction cooktop with Convection/micro is a great setup, might also be a great spot for a top-load D/W sink combo…Fit and finish materials are primo…

    The shape isn’t bad but for easier towing the lower end should be at the drawbar and the higher end at the back. However, I dislike sleeping lofts and eliminating it could lower the whole house and reduce cost.
    Bar style eating isn’t my thing a fold down decent table with facing each other would be my option. Otherwise well done.
