Tiny Cabins

Julie and Noel have built an incredible container home village in Oklahoma, where you can stay in one of 10 container cabins and visit the container businesses on the property, including a taproom, restaurant, and shops. There’s a central grain silo gazebo where you can grill and mingle with other vacationers! Each container house is [...]

This beautiful wooden cottage on stilts stands tall next to a gorgeous forest in La Rioja, Spain, giving you a grand treehouse experience. It’s a private spot that includes all the comforts of a regular bathroom, Wi-Fi, and a cozy electric fireplace, but still lets you feel at one with nature through the large windows [...]

One of the great things about building tiny on a foundation is that you aren’t limited in terms of highway height rules. That’s shown in these tiny house plans that have a second-floor loft bedroom with full standing height. Leaving the room open to the living space makes the home feel larger by eliminating extra [...]

I’m just loving this 600-square-foot small house design! While the footprint is a large 20×30 rectangle, the living area itself creates an L-shape around the in-set porch. You have the living room and kitchen in one section of the “L” and the bathroom/bedroom in the other part. Plus, you get to extend your living area [...]

Tall Stüga is a brand-new Scandinavian-inspired cabin at Adkin Acres in Kentucky. The 600-square-foot cabin sits on 40 acres of gorgeous land that you can enjoy and explore. It sleeps 6 — two in the loft, two in the first-floor bedroom, and two (possibly) on the couch when it unfolds. The rest of the cabin [...]

While many “Hobbit Holes” on Airbnb feature tons of natural wood and dark stains, this little cottage in McKinney, Texas pairs the natural wood with bright white walls and a stunning pebbled bathroom that feels inviting and uplifting! The outdoor patio and picket fence really complete the cheerful Hobbiton vibe. Inside you’ll find a custom [...]

This tiny house situated on the Camel Trail in Cornwall is an absolutely stunning modern, yet cozy, vacation spot that could act as a great home base for those wanting to travel the traffic-free trail that winds through beautiful countryside. The interior is set up studio-style, with a double bed in one [...]

Bill Bowick and David Bouffard are architects who found this lovely piece of waterfront property in Sedgewick, Maine, and decided it needed some lovely cabins! It was originally a saltwater farm, which they found fascinating. Working with builder Jon Ellsworth, of Carding Brook Farm, they were able to construct three boat-inspired cabins. The Pine, pictured [...]

Remember the gorgeous Honeycrisp Cottage? This Timber Frame Retreat has an incredibly similar floor plan (sans the loft) and is also in Vermont! You get a queen-sized bed tucked into one corner with a giant picture window that looks out on the spruce forest beyond. The 3/4 bathroom is closed off by a barn-style door, [...]

You know what they say about Texas — everything is bigger — including the Dome Homes. This incredible 1970s marvel is two stories and houses four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, and a gorgeous atrium filled with live plants providing oxygen and color to the space. Far from tiny, but super cool, this dome [...]

Summer is an incredible woman who has been living tiny for years! She started off in a 1969 Shasta that she converted, and then other small nomadic spaces like an RV and a van. Then a couple of years ago, she purchased this great 1970s A-frame. It needed a lot of help and a lot [...]

Below, Kevin and Elizabeth take us on a tour of their 420-square-foot cabin in the Montana woods that they built as a guest house for just $7,000! While yes, it was started and completed before the lumber price boom of 2020, it’s still an impressively low figure for such a beautiful, well-finished cabin. They kept [...]

While there are oodles of tiny house plans for sale that show renderings of the space, it’s always nice to get plans for a spot that’s already been built, so you can see what it really looks like! That’s the case with this 20 x 26 cabin that boasts a dramatic shed-style roof (making it [...]

There are geodesic domes scattered across North America to stay in, but this one is particularly magical since it sits on the Nalu Retreat grounds in Nova Scotia, Canada. The private grounds are kept free from partying or loud carousing, designed to be a true respite from the busyness of what’s going on elsewhere. The [...]

This gorgeous modern cabin is located in the forest near the Ucluelet inlet in Canada. It features two mirroring queen-sized bedrooms, a huge luxury bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower, and not one, but two fireplaces, so you can enjoy the warming glow both inside and out on the front porch! The main [...]

Now here’s a place I could live forever! This modern ranch cabin in Colorado is the ultimate cozy vacation space, with a gorgeous screened-in porch sporting a sectional sofa and a couch swing that allow you to admire the ranch views in comfort. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a grand electric fireplace separating the sleeping [...]

This eco-home is so neat, and I don’t know what to call the shape other than a “Swiss roll”! The owners at Great Field Farm in Canterbury call it the “Bumble Barn” because the living sedum roof is a favorite of the local bees. While not exactly “tiny,” it’s a unique and sustainable design that [...]

Just like this Scottish cow-shed we showed you a couple of weeks ago, this 200-year-old cottage in the UK has been completely renovated, and the results are absolutely stunning. You’d never know you were inside a historic building except for the beautifully preserved cast iron kitchen they framed off in the living room. Even though [...]
