Phil, a professional woodworker, was going to archery competitions where he would camp in a tent. It was always a bit annoying setting up camp, but the nail in the coffin came the day his tent got entirely flooded by the rain at an annual event. After that, he decided to challenge himself and build a teardrop camper with his son. Because everyone kept asking, “How long will it take?” and “How much will it cost?”, he started keeping track of the man-hours and money spent. In the end, they spent 26 days (all weekends) and $3K on the project.

Most importantly, they got it done before the anniversary of the fateful annual archery event where he got rained out! The teardrop has an awesome hobbit door, a unique plexiglass window across the front, a back hatch with organized storage shelves, and an impressive outdoor kitchen set-up. What a fun father-son project!

The Hive is a gorgeous Shepherd’s Hut that’s been renovated into a modern, yet cozy, vacation property. It sits on a 143-acre conservation, which means there are sprawling pastoral views as far as the eye can see! A winding country road will take you to the gravel patio where a picnic table welcomes you to enjoy a meal.

The interior of the Shepherd’s Hut is studio-style, with a King-sized bed on one end and a compact bathroom on the other end. In the middle there’s a little galley kitchen with Shaker cabinets. Do you like shepherd’s huts?

While many tiny house plans for sale feature renderings of the space, it’s always lovely to obtain plans for a spot that’s already been built, so you can see what it looks like. That’s the case with this 20 x 26 cabin that boasts a dramatic shed-style roof (making it perfect for any place with a high snow load).

The tiny house features a loft bedroom with ample headroom, accessible via a ladder. There’s a 3/4 bathroom in the far corner and a spacious L-shaped kitchen across from it. The living room takes up the front of the cabin and opens out onto the wrap-around deck.

Back when Danny and Joy only had one child, they were hoping to make a home of their own but weren’t in a place to purchase a home in Florida where they were living at the time. So when a school bus came up for sale in their area, they decided, “Why not?”

Their skoolie has two big built-in couches that face each other, a galley kitchen, a 3/4 bathroom, and a back bedroom with a “kids’ nook” underneath the main bed. Check out the interview we did with the couple, along with a photo tour of their space, below!

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 dome itself boasts 16-foot-high ceilings, a cozy electric fireplace, a 3/4 luxury bathroom, and amazing panoramic views of the Canadian forest outside. After crawling out of your cushy queen-sized bed, you can make a cup of coffee in the kitchenette and sit in patio chairs on your private deck overlooking the grounds. There’s a mini hot tub, a fire pit, and even a loft space for stargazing. What do you think?

Treehouses are always incredible, but one designed by Pete Nelson of the Treehouse Masters TV show is extra remarkable! Unlike many tree houses you’ll find today, this one is solely supported by the surrounding trees and sways with them. The treehouse is located in Coupeville, Washington. It has a first-floor bedroom and a loft area with a sizeable daybed-like couch that you could also sleep on.

There’s a galley kitchen area with essential appliances (no large oven) and a sitting area that opens up to the porch via big French doors. The large deck has a spot for a hammock and a gas grill. Inside, there’s a bathroom with standard plumbing for a toilet and a full-sized shower stall. Enjoy incredible views and a private spot in the trees.

Brittainy and Ryan met about a year before they moved onto the boat. It was initially Ryan’s idea, and Brittainy wasn’t sure about it, but came around to the concept once she saw what that life would look like. Now they’re in year seven of life on the water! While they have a marina spot in Seattle, they also take the boat “on the sea” to explore remote Pacific Northwest islands.

They share their boat with two full-size dogs, but it’s quite spacious inside. There are two bedrooms, and two bathrooms — one of each is used primarily for storage. A queen-sized bed fits comfortably in the main berth, and they have added a hanging rack to keep clothing unwrinkled. Enjoy their tour below!
