Hello Alex and Tiny House Talk readers, I’ve followed your page for some time, and it was where I saw my first tiny house, Dee Williams house! (who we later got to meet in Seattle).
That was in November 2013, about a week after my partner and I had gotten rid of our apartment, things, and jobs and left to live on the road out of our 6ft x 9ft 1987 teardrop trailer. We’ve now been living out of it happily and successfully for several months and couldn’t be happier.
We left Ontario, Canda November 1st and drove through the US, up the West coast and through British Columbia and we are now heading back to Ontario and will begin building our very own Tiny House! Within a month we will start our build!

Hello Alex (and Tiny House Talk readers), I love hearing about other people’s tiny house adventures. For a long time I thought I was the only one interested in living simple.
I kept thinking, it’s so easy why don’t more people do it? I live full time in a 270 square foot log cabin (you can see it below). Twenty years ago my brother helped me build my off the grid tiny home.
I also have a tiny village of tiny buildings that I built myself, I call this village Karenville. Karenville has a church, glass house, store/cafe, hotel, house, barn, silo and other small buildings.

Hi Alex (and Tiny House Talk readers), I know you’re not really about trailers, but I thought you might like to see the “tiny house” I built a couple years ago.
The original framing was rotten, so I took it all the way down to the floorboards and built it up new, into a comfortable little traveling home. I take it on month-long trips, and may soon be moving into it for a longer period when my “big house” is sold. There is quite a community of vintage trailer folks, and next week I’m off to the big Pismo Beach Vintage Trailer Rally, where 300 of us will open up our trailers to visitors and fellow enthusiasts for the weekend.

I’ve been wanting to share these little A-frame cabins with you on the sunshine coast of British Columbia for quite a while now.
They’re submitted anonymously from one of our wonderful readers and are on a property with a total of 5 A-frame cabins.
The one I’m showing you here has recently been renovated with a little bit of paint. Soon, the kitchen will be modernized.
And since the owner/dweller is getting a little bit too old for stairs, they’re planning on building an extension for a bedroom so they don’t have to crawl into bed anymore using a ladder. I hope you enjoy this small A-frame cabin and that it inspires you towards the right size home for you. As always, feel free to re-share using the share buttons below if you want to and share your thoughts about it in the comments too.

I love when our readers share what they’re doing to make tiny houses in their own way and this tiny backyard hobby house is one of them.
They’ve been collecting unwanted windows that would have otherwise just been thrown away. And once they had enough of them…
They built this tiny little house in the backyard. I like to call it a tiny hobby house. But it’s also very much like a micro greenhouse, too. Our hope is that it might inspire you to use old windows too!
One of my favorite parts about it are the real trees and plants that are able to grow inside and how they included space to plant them as part of the design. Pretty cool, right? I hope you enjoy below and if you want to feel free to re-share and inspire others to possibly do the same.

I thought you might also enjoy touring this 301 sq. ft. modern treehouse cabin designed by Andreas Wenning who is a treehouse specialist at baumraum architects.
It’s located in Berlin and is available as a one of a kind vacation rental where you can connect with nature in a unique way. And best of all, you’re not far from a subway station with access to restaurants and more.
There are actually two treehouses on the property and they’re almost identically designed. Inside you’ll find a kitchenette, living area, full bathroom, and lots of windows that bring the nature in. I hope you enjoy below.

I just had to share this amazing piece of property with a beautiful 768 sq. ft. tiny barn cabin already on site that’s for sale (UPDATE: SOLD). And the best part is… You can bring up to 3 tiny houses and/or RVs with you.
Yes. There are already 3 RV hookups on site in addition to an 8×12 shed for storage. The plot of land is near Lake Cushman so there’s lots of recreational opportunities around like golf, tennis, biking, hiking, boating, fishing, and camping.
There is an HOA fee in this area but it’s only $30 according to the listing on Zillow. The lot size is 10,280 sq. ft. and the MLS number is 676923. Please enjoy the tour below and if you want to re-share it with anyone you think might be interested in it.
I think it’s a great opportunity to start living tiny and maybe even invite some tiny housers to your property, too! Personally, I’m a little tempted. Let me know what you think about it in the comments below. I’d love to read your thoughts.

This tiny cabin for sale was submitted by Joceile Moore (thank you!)
This secluded 384 sq. ft. tiny cabin for sale (SOLD) is like a private sanctuary near the Olympic Mountains and Lake Cushman. This little cabin was built in 1969, has no wasted space, and seems very well built. At this size it should be very efficient to keep warm too.
Inside there’s a free standing classic wood stove, good sized kitchen, bedroom, living area, and a full bathroom. How would you like to live the simple life in a cabin and setting like this?
