Tucked in the Minnesota forest near Lake Superior sits this 16×16 Mökki Hovland Hut, built by a local carpenter and an instructor from a nearby school. It has a grand covered porch, tons of windows that let nature inside, and a wood-burning stove to keep you toasty on chilly nights.
The interior of the cabin is all studio-style, with a bed in one corner and a little kitchenette on the other side. You’ll find a wood-fired sauna outside, as well as an A-frame outhouse. Would you stay here?

This is the combination tiny house hunters keep asking for and rarely find: a finished small home and the land beneath it. A 399-square-foot log cabin park model in Mentone, Alabama, on a half-acre lot, set on a sealed concrete footing.
Inside it runs a spacious living room with an electric fireplace, a galley kitchen with quartz countertops, a full bathroom, a washer/dryer, and — the detail that makes it work long-term — a downstairs bedroom. It was offered either as a full-time residence or as an Airbnb investment.
Editor’s note: this property was listed at $179,000 in 2022 and has sold. Green River Log Cabins still builds these — their site is linked below, along with current listings.

Jess is an actress, and Josh mixes audio for sets — the long hours and travel kept them apart, so during the same year they planned their wedding, the couple converted their 2019 Ford Transit. Now, they can pursue work side-by-side based near LA.
Their van has a fabulous functional kitchen with a pantry and pull-out trash can, a laundry chute to the “garage” so dirty clothes don’t pile up, and even a monitor and green screen for Jess’s acting auditions! What an incredible van and adorable couple.
