Summer is an incredible woman who has been living tiny for years! She started off in a 1969 Shasta that she converted, and then other small nomadic spaces like an RV and a van. Eventually, she purchased this great 1970s A-frame cabin.
It needed a lot of help and a lot of paint, and after a year of renovations, she moved in! We got the chance to interview her about her tiny life below, so please enjoy reading her story.

This 350 square foot a-frame in trees is dubbed the “Skyframe” and gets its name because it stands on stilts and makes you feel like you’re in a magical treehouse with views of the surrounding forest.
Despite the obstacle that is plumbing a treehouse, the A-frame features a luxurious bathroom inside with a tiled shower and epic bowl vanity. There’s also a full kitchen, seating area, and two queen beds — one in the loft and one in a first-floor bedroom.

Jack and Rylie lost their jobs in 2020, moved out of California, and back to Jack’s home state of Minnesota. That’s when Jack got to work building an A-frame retreat cabin on family land. He completed the build in 7 days for well under $2,500.
The cabin is primarily a “glamping” set-up, with a twin-sized bed, couch, propane cooktop, and wood stove. They typically come to this spot for weekend stays, and love getting away from it all.

Get ready for a lovely tour of this A-Frame (plus an addition) tiny house that sits on a lake in Switzerland, about 2 hours outside of Berlin. The off-grid boat house runs on minimal solar power without running water, Wi-Fi, or much phone connection, giving you a chance to unplug.
When you walk in, there’s an open living and dining space on the waterside of the home. Against the trees, you’ll find the micro kitchen (with a stovetop and fridge) and the bathroom with an RV-style toilet. Up the ladder sits two bedroom areas and can sleep up to four. There’s a video tour from a couple who stayed in the cabin at the end of the post.
