It was built by The Zen Cottages (builder now known as Zen Tiny Homes) and includes features like a storage loft, sleeping loft, wood stove, skylights, and more. According to the listing, it’s the 20ft Alpine Model. What do you think? It seems like a pretty good deal, doesn’t it?
This is the story of how backyard tiny houses are helping to solve California’s housing problem, specifically in Clovis city where city planners have made it easier for homeowners to build a backyard tiny cottage on their current lot. Here’s how it works…
They are giving homeowners three house plans to choose from (for free). The designs are 400-square-feet or less and are only available to homeowners in the area who have a lot with access to an alleyway, which is common in Old Town Clovis. There are other perks and incentives, too. But what’s the catch? This is having an overall very positive impact on the community so it’s a win/win for the city and the homeowners. Do you think other townships should take notice of this strategy?
This is the Vista Boho Escape Tiny House Vacation in Long Beach, California. It’s the new Escape Vista Boho design that starts at $39,900 and now you can vacation in it if you want to try it out. I love this design because they somehow squeezed everything you would want (main floor sleeping, comfortable couch, work/dining table) into a less-than-22-foot tiny house.
It’s actually 21’6″ in length if you want to be exact. And 26’6″ if you include the trailer hitch. When I mentioned, “everything you would want” earlier, here’s what I meant… You have main floor sleeping, a comfortable couch that also converts into an additional bed, a work/dining table that flips up/down, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. What’s not to like here?

This group of tiny cabins is located in the Mojave Desert near Ridgecrest, California. There are a total of three cabins, which they call Eco-Pods. Two of them are bedrooms and the other one is a bathroom unit with a shower, vanity, and toilet with mosaic artwork inside.
All three cabins are connected by an elevated wooden deck and each one has air conditioning so you’re comfortable year round. And yes, there’s also a washing machine available. I always thought it would be great to build a homestead with more than just one tiny structure, so I think this is pretty cool! How about you?
