Tiny Houses

Twenty-six modular cottages, shop-built in Cleveland, then trucked and craned onto Southern Adventist University’s campus. Student housing that sits right next to the tiny-house conversation.

The latest Tiny House Magazine is out. Issue #164 is $9 — pick up a copy for a little distraction, and to renew your dreams of living in a tiny house.

After walking the Camino de Santiago twice — five weeks each time, as little as she could carry — Joanne came home to a Sydney studio and wondered why she had so much stuff. Then a workplace injury left her with a permanent injury and a mortgage she was worried about keeping. She sold the [...]

Sixteen tiny homes on wheels — all under 400 square feet, skirting around them — circle a shared garden in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. You buy your own house and lease the space for currently $499 a month. Jenna at Tiny House Giant Journey walks Tiny Timbers Agrihood with founders Melissa and Shane, who live [...]

I keep circling the same number: $10,700. That’s what Bree Steen spent — deck included — to build a 144 square foot off-grid cabin in the Maine woods. Less than a year of rent. No rent after that. Tiny Home Tours walks the 16×9 with her: a real kitchen so she can bake, wall bars [...]

I keep circling the same complaint about wedge campers: they’re light, they pack small, and once you’re inside you can’t really sit up and live. The Topo Toppers Badlands is the tempting middle — sit-up room without jumping to the biggest pop-up.

When a tornado, hailstorm, or hurricane hits, Aaron has 24 hours to be on the ground. Hotels in those zones are often closed, full, or simply gone — so this catastrophe insurance adjuster turned his 2024 Honda Pilot TrailSport into the thing that still works: a no-drill mobile dwelling that is home until the world [...]

Dave Whipple — Bushradical on YouTube — built a 10×16 off-grid cabin on remote land in the northern Midwest, racing early snow and sleeping in a tent on the property while he worked. The cabin is about 160 square feet inside, with a 5×16 porch out front, a wood stove, and tongue-and-groove walls and ceiling. [...]

Margo Fairchild started with an Amish shed shell — 12×20, $8,800, just floor, studs, and a roof — and finished it into her dream home in Central Virginia for about $47,000. Tiny Home Tours walks the house: a full-size tub, a queen loft, a diner booth that seats four, and a kitchen sized around the [...]

Geoff Daigle and Candace bought this ESCAPE eONE in November 2024 as a rental in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. They’re fans of tiny-home efficiency. On Airbnb and VRBO it went to traveling professionals who preferred it over hotels, and to snowbirds who stayed a month at a time. The RV park is no longer allowing [...]

A vintage 1965 Airstream Caravel — 17 feet, 2,250 pounds, all-new 50-amp electric and no propane — is listed for $65,000 just outside Richmond. Tiny Haven named her Sol. Danielle and Jonathan renovated this one as a mid-century modern apartment on wheels: full kitchen, tiled bath, a custom couch that pulls out into a double [...]

If you’ve been waiting for a 2,000-lb hard-sided adventure trailer that a smaller SUV can actually tow, this is the one sitting in Boulder. It’s a 2020 AntiShanty AS-1 Plus, built in Utah by Spectrum Sports / AntiShanty, listed at $35,000. Pre-owned, no land, 60 square feet on the listing. The owner puts it at [...]

Caitlin wanted to build her own home — and her dad, a carpenter, was all in. Starting in 2014, they spent about three years crafting an off-grid tiny house on a 24-foot trailer. She found land next to the build site, towed the house up a dirt “road” with a small bulldozer, and settled in. [...]

This tiny house is for sale in an actual community, not a driveway and a hope. Lakewalk Tiny Home Community in Greer, South Carolina puts homes on wooded lots with a hiking trail, a dog park, gathering spaces, and Lake Cunningham nearby. The house itself is a 285-square-foot 2016 Sprout by Mustard Seed Tiny Homes, [...]

After a major life change, Eva didn’t want another apartment that felt temporary — she wanted something that was completely her own. Starting with little construction experience, a used white box truck, and help from a friend, she built Box Truck Betti: a solar-powered, off-grid tiny home packed with carved wood, space-saving tricks, and the [...]

Allison Williams and her family sold a modest Portland house so Dad could stay home. They bought land in Port Angeles, Washington, and a tiny house on wheels — and spent nearly eight years mortgage-free. Their daughter grew up in 290 square feet. She’s becoming a teen now and outgrowing her spaces, so they’re selling [...]

In the Czech Republic, a family company is taking retired refrigerated semi-trailers — the thick-walled “reefers” that once hauled cold groceries — and turning them into roughly 32 m² (about 344 sq ft) tiny homes and multipurpose spaces. SEFR Home’s base model starts from around 800,000 CZK excluding VAT (about $35,000 USD), with build and [...]
