Perfectly centered on Lost Lake in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, the SHORELINE Glass House at Canoe Bay Village on Lot 21 is one of the most striking lakefront tiny homes we have ever featured. A continuous 30-foot wall of glass stretches across the living room and bedroom, offering sweeping, uninterrupted views of the water and the protected nature preserve beyond. It is the kind of home where the boundary between indoors and outdoors simply dissolves.

30 Feet of Glass Facing the Lake
This is not a concept or a rendering — it is a fully furnished, move-in ready home currently available on Lot 21 at $196,240. Built by Escape Homes, the SHORELINE represents a fresh design direction for Canoe Bay Village, with extra-large windows, an oversized screened porch, and a level of finish that feels more like a luxury lakeside retreat than a tiny house. Private, peaceful, and built to an extraordinary standard, this Glass House is a rare opportunity to own something truly special on Lost Lake.
The defining feature of the SHORELINE is its expansive glass wall. Stretching a full 30 feet across the front of the home, the windows in both the living room and bedroom frame Lost Lake and the permanent nature preserve beyond it like a living mural. The glass is oriented to capture the water from nearly every angle inside the home, and the reflections of the surrounding hardwood forest on the lake’s surface change with every hour and season.
For anyone who has ever visited a tiny home and felt boxed in, this design is the antidote. The oversized windows flood the interior with natural light and create a sense of space that far exceeds the home’s actual footprint. You are not just looking at the lake — you feel immersed in it.

An Open Living Space Designed Around the View
The open-concept living area is oriented entirely toward the water. A large sectional couch, electric fireplace, and big-screen Smart TV are arranged so that whether you are relaxing, entertaining, or just having your morning coffee, the lake is always in your line of sight. A ceiling fan and recessed lighting keep the space comfortable and well-lit, while the hardwood floors and clean finishes give the interior a warm, modern feel.
The dining area sits right by the glass wall, meaning every meal comes with a view that most restaurants would charge a premium for. It is the kind of space where you sit down for breakfast and suddenly realize an hour has passed because you have been watching the light change on the water.

Thinking About a Place Like This?
Lakefront homes like this don’t come around often. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll help you find similar opportunities before they’re gone.
Oversized Screened Porch with Direct Lake Views
The screened porch is generously sized and finished with a beautiful cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling that adds warmth and character. With its screens open to the breeze off Lost Lake and glass French doors connecting it to the main living area, the porch extends the usable living space dramatically. In the warmer months, this becomes the heart of the home — a place to dine, read, or simply sit and listen to the water and the birds in the surrounding preserve.
The porch faces directly onto the lake, giving you a front-row seat to sunsets, morning mist, and the quiet rhythms of life on the water. It is the kind of outdoor room that makes you wonder why more homes are not built this way.

A Gourmet Kitchen That Does Not Compromise
The all-electric kitchen is beautifully finished with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and stone countertops. This is not the stripped-down galley kitchen you find in most tiny houses — there is real counter space to work with, a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, and enough storage that you will not be living out of boxes. The kitchen opens directly into the living area, so you are never separated from the view or from your guests while cooking.

King Bedroom with Walk-In Closet
The king bedroom is a proper retreat within the home. It features its own glass wall facing the lake, a vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan, and — notably for a tiny house — a full walk-in closet. This is one of those details that separates a home designed for weekend visits from one built for genuine full-time living. Built-in shelving flanks the bed, and the room has enough space to move around comfortably without the cramped feeling that plagues many small-home bedrooms.

Ensuite Bathroom with Walk-In Shower and In-Unit Laundry
The ensuite bathroom packs a surprising amount of function into a compact space. A large walk-in tile shower with natural stone tile and glass doors serves as the centerpiece — it is the kind of shower you would expect in a high-end hotel, not a tiny house. The vanity offers good storage, and the bathroom includes a washer/dryer unit that eliminates the need for any trips to a laundromat. Every detail here is chosen to make daily life convenient without sacrificing quality.
