After more than a decade of tiny living, Joshua and Shelley Engberg of Tiny House Basics are passing the torch: their beloved “Entertaining Abode” — the home where their whole tiny house journey began — is going up for sale.
This is the original build behind one of the most popular tiny house plan sets out there. Over the years, the Engbergs have helped hundreds of people build their own version of this 28-footer from its plans. Now the real thing is looking for its next owner.

A Decade in the “Entertaining Abode”
The Engbergs called this their “origin story” in tiny house living — the home they spent so much of their lives in, and the one they used to teach a whole community how to build. After a year of thinking it over, they’ve decided to let someone else enjoy the next chapter.
