Some tiny homes are built to a spec sheet. This one was built to be lived in. Handcrafted in 2017 by a professional house framer in Lakeway, Texas, the Storybook Cedar is a warm, character-filled cottage on wheels that has served as both a private retreat and a well-loved Airbnb. At 9′ x 24.5′ and roughly 220 square feet, it packs a full kitchen, a downstairs sleeping area, a real walk-in shower, a lofted bedroom, and a covered porch into a footprint you can tow to your own land.
It’s currently listed at $59,500 OBO and located in Lampasas, Texas, ready to be relocated to your property. Here’s a full tour of what makes this one special.

Cedar-Clad Curb Appeal
The exterior is finished in real cedar board-and-batten siding that has weathered into a rich, honeyed tone, topped with a metal roof coated in heat-reflective elastomeric paint to keep the Texas sun at bay. A retractable awning shades the pale-green front door, and the whole cottage sits inside a rustic picket-fenced garden strung with cafe lights and framed by sunflowers. It’s the kind of storybook curb appeal that’s hard to fake.

Built on a Road-Legal Foundation
Underneath the charm is a serious platform: a titled, road-legal 14-ton dual-axle trailer. That means the home is fully mobile and can be transported to a new site whenever you’re ready. The raised dormer over the loft adds headroom and a bank of clerestory windows up top, while the main level gets generous double-hung windows that flood the interior with light.
An Open, Light-Filled Main Level
Step inside and the whole home opens up. Warm pine paneling covers the walls and vaulted ceiling, rich hardwood runs underfoot, and a staircase — not a ladder — leads up to the sleeping loft. Deep teal curtains frame a full-glass door and windows, and the layout flows cleanly from the living area past the kitchen to the bathroom at the far end. The staircase design is a genuine perk in a tiny house: it makes the loft accessible for guests of any age.

A Cozy Living Room That Converts to Sleep Two
The living area centers on a plush leather sofa tucked beneath a window and the vaulted, beamed ceiling. It’s a comfortable spot to relax by day — and it converts into a bed at night, giving the home a second sleeping space in addition to the loft. A window A/C unit keeps this end of the cottage cool.

A Kitchen With Real Counter Space
The galley kitchen punches above its weight. Butcher block countertops give you a warm, durable work surface with room to actually cook, and the setup includes a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, a stainless sink, and the appliances you need for everyday meals. Bright green cafe curtains, open cabinetry, and homey touches keep it cheerful rather than cramped.

A Full Bathroom With a Hot Shower
Unlike many tiny homes that make you compromise on the bathroom, this one includes a proper walk-in shower stall fed by its own dedicated water heater — so you get genuine hot water. The pine-lined bathroom stays bright thanks to a window, and it’s finished with the same care as the rest of the home.

The toilet is a composting model set into a custom wooden enclosure, configured for off-grid use — a smart, low-maintenance choice for a home that may live somewhere without a full septic hookup.

A Storybook Loft Bedroom
Up the stairs, the loft bedroom is the heart of the home’s charm. The vaulted pine ceiling, antique stained-glass windows, and soft lamplight make it feel like a page out of a fairy tale. There’s room for a full mattress, a built-in bookshelf, and thoughtful little details throughout — a genuinely restful retreat rather than a cramped sleeping shelf.

What Makes This One Special
- Craftsmanship over mass production. It was hand-built by a professional framer before the recent surge in material and labor costs — the kind of solid, characterful build that’s expensive to replicate today.
- Stairs, not a ladder. The real staircase makes the loft usable for guests of any age and age in place.
- Proven income potential. It has successfully operated as an Airbnb; during the 2024 eclipse it rented for $450/night. The owners intentionally limited bookings, so its earning potential hasn’t been fully explored. Listing, reviews, and booking history are available to serious buyers.
- Flexible use. Full-time tiny home, backyard guest house, Airbnb, artist’s studio, hunting cabin, or weekend retreat.
- Turnkey option. Available fully furnished and guest-ready, so you could be hosting or living in it almost immediately.
