Imagine your next stay in California in this beautiful treehouse.

Located just above San Fransisco it can be the perfect little getaway and a fantastic addition to our treehouse section.

Surrounded by Redwoods, Fir, Oak, and Birch trees. Location is about a 20-minute drive to San Fransisco. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a very unique stay in a micro home. I love it because it’s the perfect blend of a tiny house and a treehouse. Plus- you can book a stay in it anytime- through Airbnb.com but unfortunately, it’s no longer available.

Say hello to this modern, Japanese-inspired tiny cube house. You should check out this other cube house too.

Created by Horden Cherry Lee Architects and was made available through Micro Compact Home. Just large enough for one or two people, but they can be stacked or arranged to create larger communities. It’s approximately 8.73′ by 8.73′ by 8.73′. So that’s about 75-square-feet. Pretty tiny, right? Much like all of the structures that we feature, it can be used as a guest house, a place to work in, student housing, or even a vacation cabin.

Can you imagine living in an earthy tiny dome home in the woods like this one?

If you ever dream of living so simply- or at least having a little getaway like this for the weekends- then you’ll probably love this post.

Whether you wish for a tiny house on wheels, a little cabin in nature, or a backyard shed to work in.. This structure is sure to inspire you.

Meet Jeffrey the Natural Builder. After being inspired by Lloyd Kahn’s Domebook and getting to live in a 30′ dome for a little while he decided he would design and build his own.

The structure took the form of a geodesic dome, a structural form I had long been a fan of. My interest was first peaked by chancing on a copy of “LLoyd Kahn’s – Domebook” at a WWOOF farm I stayed at. I was then lucky enough to live in a beautiful 30ft dome that was hand crafted without power-tools in Dunster, BC. I loved the feeling of living inside a bubble, like something from the future, only crafted from beautiful wood over 40 years ago.

The design is very small with just enough room for a desk, bed, wood stove, and a little bit of storage.

Dan Louche has just released the first set of videos on how to build your own tiny house on a trailer step by step.

If you’ve been wanting to start your own project these videos along with his step by step construction guide and professional plans will help you complete your first tiny house.

I was fortunate enough to have a peek at the videos and I can proudly say they are outstanding. Very great quality all around along with focused information on every major step of the construction process.

There’s a lot to learn from these videos. This has to be the next best thing- if not even better than- attending a classroom workshop since you can watch and re-watch the videos as you actually go through the building process yourself.

Here’s a sneak peek into one of the many videos that are available for instant viewing right now over at Tiny Home Builders website if you decide to pay for access to the video library collection that’s constantly being added onto.

Guest Post by Travis, Cabin Owner

Meet Travis. He designed and built his own prefab tiny cabin to later move and put back together on a coastal river in Oregon.

The process in which he designed and built it reminds me of Michael Janzen’s Tiny Prefab Building System.

The great part about this tiny house offer is that it includes both the land and the 196-square-foot cabin located on the small lot.

You’re covered in wilderness and nature, and it’s all set up to be off-grid. There are nearby hiking trails, rivers, and even a mountain lake.

I’ll pass it over to Travis right after I show you the first set of photos and construction process.

Thanks so much for reading.

Update: Sold.

The sketch below shows the complete capability for the cabin and everything that can be done with the space provided.

Have you met Collin and Joanna before? They’re a young couple who built and lived in their own Tumbleweed Fencl tiny house on a trailer. They bought the plans, ordered the trailer, built the house, and moved in!

But now they’re very happy to announce that they’re starting a family so they will be upsizing to a home that will be better for them to raise a child in. So that means their gorgeous little house is up for sale. The tiny house has sold but you can still see it below!

This is one of the most elegantly designed tiny houses that I’ve seen to date. They used Jay Shafer’s Tumbleweed Fencl building plans to build it and they did an excellent job of decorating as you’ll see in the pictures.

It’s a 130-square-foot design meant to be built onto a 7’x18′ trailer. To date, we’ve featured numerous builds that have used the same plans which you can check out at the bottom of this page.

So yes – the Fencl is definitely a popular tiny home design to build and live in. So, without further adieu, here’s Collin & Joanna’s beautiful self-built tiny home…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on van dwelling and this tiny house bus hits the spot just right with its wood accents and beautiful stained glass features.

It was obviously highly customized by its owner and used heavily for traveling as a lifestyle. According to this forum post, it was built back in 1995.

It’s a 1975 bus with a 1979 2.0L engine in it. Pretty impressive how such a small engine can handle all of that weight, although in the post you’ll read that he did have some occasional issues.

The disadvantage of this is that it’s much heavier than the fiberglass camper tops that you normally see on RVs. The advantage is that it’s so elegantly done that it has a house-truck look and feel about it that can be appealing.

What is the permanence of the tiny house living? Do people move into tiny spaces and live there for the rest of their lives? Since the movement is still rather young I imagine that we have not yet reached that moment of maturity when the first generation of tiny dwellers begins to consider their next move. I was certain that stories had to be out there of people who made the decision to leave tiny behind so I searched and found three tiny house builders who made the decision to move.

Almost a year ago Zoey from Living Tiny 365 posted that after some changes in her life she was moving from her Lusby into a condo with her new partner. The condo, she said, was still small at 700 square feet and that her daughter was planning to move into the tiny house. I reached out to Zoey to find out more about her life since the decision to move out of her tiny house but I have not yet heard from her. Zoey, we would love to hear the next chapter in your story so please reach out if you see this.
