Just when I think I’ve seen it all! This is a Tiny Castle on Wheels, built by Justin and Jola.

When traveling, the turrets of the home fold in, making the housetruck look more or less “normal.” But as soon as they arrive at their destination, the couple opens up the house and you see a striking medieval castle. No way!

Jola works with her twin as an acrobat in New Zealand, and I’m certainly jealous of her castle home. Watch the video tour posted below with Living Big in a Tiny House and check out this post for more details.

The rental was built by Brendan and Linda, who spent the beginning of their marriage living on a 20 ft. sailboat (before they even knew how to sail!). The couple now arranges awesome vacations for people through their company, Venture Yours (find out more here). One of their vacation spots is this stunning gypsy wagon that sleeps up to four.

Check out some screenshots and then take the video tour with Dylan Magaster below!

Christoph Kaiser and Shauna Thibault are daring newlyweds who spent their first year of marriage building a 366-square foot grain silo tiny house.

So far they love the tiny life, complete with an outdoor shower, spiral staircase and large kitchen table for entertaining. I’m always up for a round tiny house, and this modern twist on an old storage building is no exception.

Watch their video tour with Zillow below and get more details from Christoph’s architecture firm here.

Annelies used recycled materials from the 2011 earthquake in New Zealand to build her own Tiny House on Wheels for just $19,000.

She’s a furniture-maker, and thought building a tiny would use many of the same skills, but she said the house challenged her, for sure! It features a lovely weathered exterior and a quaint cottage feel on the inside, complete with a lovely old-fashioned wood stove/oven!

You can learn more about her house in a video tour with Living Big in a Tiny House posted below, and by checking out their website here.

Meet Jesse: A (now-adult) who built his Off-Grid Tiny Cabin in the woods of Maine as a teenager, back before people were really using the term “tiny house.”

Besides being made from 80% recycled material, Jesse built most of the rustic abode by hand “with a saw and an axe.” It’s very primitive with a wood stove, gravity-fed “running” water, composting outhouse, and outdoor brick oven, but it’s a work of art that Jesse made with his own two hands.

He filled it with food bought in bulk, books, his photography and editing equipment (including a huge Mac that you’d expect in a high-end modern home!) and tons of camping/outdoorsy accouterments. Be sure to watch his video tour! And if you check out his Instagram, you can see he’s made some updates and is living there with Jayne.

This is the breathtaking Essen’Ciel Tiny House on Wheels from Baluchon, a builder in France.

I might have to move to France just to live in one of these! I love the robin’s-egg-blue metal roof, and the gorgeous color scheme continues to the interior on the accent wall and kitchen hardware. The home has a loft bedroom, nifty pull-out steps, and a spacious bathroom and kitchen. The living room even features a pull out full-sized bed for company (or you if you hate steps!).

It was custom built for Marie-Laure, who upgraded from her small caravan to a tiny home!

This is the 232 sq. ft. Pull Out Tiny House on Wheels by Rich’s Portable Cabins!

This cabin was built for demonstration and to illustrate how an 8’ wide can be transformed to almost 13’ wide in the interior with the help of few friends. There are no buttons to push to make the tip outs function. You just need a little muscle and confidence, and in 15 minutes you will take your 8’ wide to a width that is new to the tiny home industry.

Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

Talk about patience! This man built a home using 7,500 glass bottles — and you can rent it.

Called the “Bungalow in the Boulders,” the house sits near Joshua Tree and boy is it stunning. Be sure to watch the video with Deek from Relaxshacks.com after checking out the pictures, because the builder explains the painstaking process he used to cut, glue and mortar the walls of this rustic-glam vacation home. Rent it here!

Enjoy!
