Solid hardwood flooring, five skylights, wool insulation and stunning non-toxic paint and stain: This version of the Loft Edition model by Mint Tiny Homes has all the nicest of finishes.
A mini-split system keeps it warm or cool, while the bathroom includes both a large tiled walk-in shower and a soaking tub — and a separate laundry room with a washer/dryer combo. For sleeping, there’s both a stair-accessible loft with an artsy divider and a secondary loft with ladder access.
Finally, you get a spacious living area with plenty of room for a comfortable couch and even a chair or two. To learn more about getting your own Loft Edition, contact the builder here.

I’ve seen a lot of A-frames with a classic cabin feel or even a Nordic overhaul, but this gorgeous A-frame renovation is filled with mid-century modern charm and a totally unique loft set-up.
When you walk in you’ll find yourself in the large open living area, complete with a white fireplace and modern sectional sofa. It blends effortlessly into the kitchen, where you’ll find charcoal grey cabinets with a subway tile backsplash. There’s also a bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor.
The loft is something completely new, with a closed-off living space that doubles as a second bedroom, and a queen bedroom in the apex of the A-frame closed off with barn doors. There’s also another full bathroom. Love the decor? Jennifer, who renovated the a-frame with her partner, compiled a list with links here. Book your stay in this fantastic spot on Airbnb.

Treehouses are magical, but how about a treehouse overlooking a Fjord in Norway? This spectacular modern wonder has all the amenities you’ll need for a vacation stay, and views that will make you never want to leave!
The building is in fact built around one single tree (safely, so the tree can keep growing!) and includes a shower, flushing toilet and kitchenette.
And best of all, the builders of the Woodnest used non-toxic and sustainable products to create their dwelling, so you can feel good about staying here! Book your vacation (well, when it’s safe to do so…) here.

Once again, here’s a family with small kids taking advantage of the skoolie lifestyle! The Stone family is homeschooling in their DIY rig, called the “Green Bean,” which they spent about $15,000 making into their home on wheels.
The couple did all the work themselves, saving a lot of money in the process. They’ve been on the road for a couple months now, chasing the coastline and searching for warmer weather. Because the home is off-grid, their month-to-month expenses really only include the cost of fuel and the occasional campsite (they boondock most of the time).
Their girls, Pepper and Violet, have awesome bunks near the back of the bus with climbing stones, and plenty of room for toys under their dinette. Watch the full tour from Tiny Home Tours below!

Something tells me Kimberly is the kind of teacher we all wished we had growing up! This amazing woman lives with her cat and dog in her DIY Ford E-350 conversion. The former shuttle bus has everything she needs, including a very original shower set-up.
Because Kimberly (@she_van_igan) loves to cook, she made she to include a gas stove with as much counter space as she could muster. She even added a “china cabinet” shelf to display some beautiful plates she owns.
Her build is just another example that vanlife doesn’t have to be expensive to be functional. Hopefully her story inspires you to find the freedom you’re longing for. Watch the whole video from Tiny Home Tours below.

Editor’s Update (June 2026): Since this article was first published, OBY House appears to have ceased operations. The company’s website (obyhouse.com) is no longer active — it now displays a “Website Expired” notice — and we could find no sign of ongoing activity. We’re keeping this article up as a record of an interesting affordable-housing concept, but the program described below does not appear to be accepting new homeowners. If you’re exploring a backyard ADU or rental arrangement, we recommend looking into builders and programs that are currently operating.
This is the story about OBY House, an organization that wanted to lease a space in your backyard (for 99-years) and pay you $500 a month so that they can build a tiny house and rent it out to a qualified tenant long-term. Their mission is to create more affordable housing.
OBY will pay you up to $500/month if you let us build and rent out an affordable, sustainable, OBY House in your backyard.

Caleb hated paying for rent, so he started saving up for a school bus conversion. He found his rig for $3K on Facebook Marketplace, and used the remaining $7k on renovations. You would never believe he spent so little! This has to be one of the most gorgeous skoolies I’ve seen, and it strays from the norm with it’s innovative layout.
He (@roamerbus) is currently a architecture Master’s student, and he put his training into action when creating his floor plan — you walk right into the kitchen (complete with semi-truck-bed countertops), and then move back through an eating area with a hidden keyboard and a huge closet, and finally to the open living and bedroom area.
In the very back, Caleb tucked his toilet and shower (which he is still waiting on funds to complete). I can’t say enough good things about his design, so check out the video tour with Tiny Home Tours below!
