Climb through the trails in the woods of Whistler and if you’re lucky you can find Joel Allen’s secret treehouse called The HemLoft.

It’s a wonderful modern micro cabin nestled on a tree surrounded by forest, greenery, and mountains.

Once you find it, the little round wooden steps lead you right inside the perfectly built modern micro home.

I thought you’d also like this off grid solar tiny cabin this morning.

And it even has a yurt nearby that functions as a little guest house for visitors.

This is the off-grid homestead of Dan Timmerman who is a cyclocross racer.

His teammate, Dan Chabanov, photographed the home which is in the Finger Lakes of New York.

This weekend marked the first day of autumn for 2013. Like many people, I love this time of year. As you probably know from reading Tiny House Talk, I live in a tiny house that we built in the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville North Carolina. As you might imagine this is a majestic place for leaves and other fun fall activities. I thought I might share some of the reasons I love my tiny house in the fall.

1. The Leaves. We didn’t build our house at the top of the mountain ridge. Instead, we chose a small clearing nestled in the middle of our 15 acres that is surrounded by all kinds of amazing trees. Our fall starts with the unexciting Tulip Poplars common in the region. Their leaves simply turn brown and fall off with very little fanfare. But once the Tulip Poplars are out of the way there is room for the rest of the Appalachian trees to shine. It is truly gorgeous.

Ever wanted to convert a school bus into an off-grid cabin? When Max was a little kid he grew up across the street in a log cabin.

Today he has two homes. The first is in the city in a tiny apartment. And his other home is this school bus converted into an off-grid tiny cabin. He goes there on the weekends to see his mom and to enjoy nature.

Here’s a 250 square feet micro cabin I thought you might like.

It’s a studio set up but it’s self contained so you’ve got all the amenities you need in here.

There’s a bathroom, water heater, kitchenette, oven, microwave, mini-frig, coffee maker, etc.

And I love the deck out front and how you can open up the doors and windows and get a nice breeze through the house.

I encourage you to take the rest of the tour below:

Here’s an off grid micro cabin I just had to show you.

It’s too small for full-time living unless you’re going with the bare minimum.

I think it’s a great way to try out the simple life while on vacation.

Way more of an experience than a hotel if you ask me.

So let me give you the rest of the tour below:

Now here’s a tiny cabin I think will resonate with you if you’re also into simple living. Sure, this may be too extreme for most of us, including myself because I really am a big people and family person.

But it’s something I’d still like to do as an experience once or twice a year. It seems like that if you were here, you can really escape it all. I’d turn my phone off and just enjoy spending time with myself here. And if you have a spouse or significant other it can be a great time to reconnect with each other on a deeper level.

This is Yahini Homes smallest home ever built and it’s a 112 square feet tiny house on a trailer. It’s 8′ x 14′ and meant to be off the grid with solar battery power and a rainwater collection system.

For heat the owner is planning on using a simple wood stove and since it’s well insulated it will be no problem to keep the place warm.
