This is a Tumbleweed Tarleton — but built by its owners rather than the factory. Evan and Gabby constructed it from Tumbleweed plans in 2011 and documented the process on their build blog, which is still online and worth reading if you are considering a plans-based build of your own.
At 120 square feet the Tarleton is a classic early-movement design, from the era when tiny houses were overwhelmingly owner-built from published plans rather than bought from manufacturers.
Editor’s note: this home was later listed for sale and has since sold. We’ve kept the tour up as a record of a well-documented self-build. Current listings are linked below.

Dome homes are so fun, and this little one tucked in the woods on a 65-acre organic farm is no exception. It’s 100% glamping — no heat, electricity, etc. — but you have exclusive access to the host’s basement bathroom, and can use their deck and grill for cooking.
The dome was made with locally sourced timber from the property and boasts a lovely queen bed and sitting area. You can spend your days roaming the farm, and enjoy in-season produce, as well.
Take a look and tell us, would you build a dome home?

The terrifying risk when you have a home on wheels is that at some point you could end up crashing your entire house — and that’s exactly what happened to Lauren and Patrick when their trailer gave way on its journey to their new “forever” piece of land.
They had spent months building out their Tumbleweed trailer and then had taken it around the country traveling. But when they purchased land so they could settle down, they lost their tiny house to the twisty roads. After some time and a good cry, they managed to salvage what they could and rebuilt the tiny house better than ever!
Now it sits connected to another smaller “mini house” by a huge 20×20 deck, and they’re loving their tiny life. The video below is worth the watch!

Guillaume loves the sea and wanted a tiny house with hints of Nautical flair built for him by Baluchon in France. As always, their work is above reproach!
His 6 meter (~19.5 feet) tiny house feels amazingly spacious. You walk into the living space that has the all-too-awesome Cubic Mini Woodstove and a cushy-look couch. A storage staircase leads to the bedroom loft, and below is the kitchen complete with an oven and stovetop, and then the bathroom tucked behind that.
Enjoy the photo tour below. Could you live in this one?

Morgan invited her now-boyfriend Logan to hop on her van journey. She was relieved to have help with her build and lifestyle, and he was eager to live off the land all over the country after living that way in Louisiana — hunting and fishing for his own food.
Their van really breaks the mold of typical Promaster conversions, with it’s awesome tin ceiling and futon-style bed that creates a whole different layout than most vans. The build out wasn’t expensive, and they used lots of reclaimed items or cheap lumber from Home Depot to create a stellar home on wheels.
Make sure to watch the full video tour at the end of the post! Thank you to Tiny Home Tours.

Ever dreamt of a space that’s both a creative haven and a hangout spot? Meet Amir and his son, who transformed a humble cart into a multifunctional caravan wagon that’s perfect for work, play, and everything in between. From its clever tilting walls to the charming outdoor shower, this handcrafted gem is a testament to innovative design and father-son bonding. Dive into their inspiring story and discover the magic of tiny living!
Amir emailed us this week to show off the awesome caravan wagon he and his 15-year-old son built together. It’s a space for them to hang out and work.
The story is that I wanted to build a small wagon for me and my son to have a place for recreation in our village.
So we built it on a small cart we found. Bigger than the cart. It has a small balcony with a kitchen.
And a shower outside under a tree.
I use it for writing and meeting people for coaching; and my son ( 15 y.o.) for hanging out with his friends.
I am an architect in my profession, and a coach. My son is in arts highschool here in Israel.
