This is the Original Tree House located at East Zion Resort in Orderville, Utah on 490 East State Street. It’s a rock climber’s dream because you can actually climb up from the inside of the trunk.

Rhett And Jennifer knew each other in high school and reconnected in college when they started dating. Believe it or not, the Cozy Roller THOW they now live in isn’t Rhett’s first tiny house build! Rhett and his dad built a THOW when he was in high school, but it was too bulky and heavy [...]

My favorite aspect of tiny homes is that they force a certain amount of creativity that one doesn’t need in a larger home. That becomes incredibly evident in this cabinet maker’s stunning 39-foot tiny house in Australia! Colin and his wife Megan built this incredible modern tiny house on a gooseneck trailer. While they subcontracted [...]

The clean, modern design features an open floor plan with large windows throughout, a full bathroom with flush toilet, and outdoor living space including a separate “bunkie” guest room. The couple splits time between this Southern California home and [...]

I know open floor plans are all the rage right now, but this couple’s Tumbleweed THOW features a really cozy layout that allows for separate spaces, which I actually really like. You walk into the kitchen, and there are storage stairs up to the loft bedroom. But then a bathroom and hallway separate that half [...]

At 87 years old, Charles Bello has spent the last 50 years living off-grid on his own 400 acres of Redwood Forest in Northern California.

Tiny House Talk has been around since 2010, and during that time we’ve interviewed a lot of tiny house dwellers who have many reasons for going tiny. While most people immediately assume tiny living is about reducing costs, that’s not the case for everyone who chooses this lifestyle. Some people go tiny because they’re stressed [...]

You must see this gorgeous custom build by Modern Tiny Living, named “Rivendell” by the new owner! (For those who aren’t Lord of the Rings fans, Rivendell is home to some of the elves in the books/movies). It features the innovative MTL Social Area, which has three purposes: A couch, a table, and a queen-sized [...]
