The Catskill Domeo is a fun little dome home in a backyard in Hensonville, New York that has been decked out with birch/bear decor to make it truly feel like a forest escape. While the house is more or less a tent, there’s running water, a composting toilet indoors, and heat/AC to keep the temperature comfortable.
The little dome sits in the far corner of the yard where a grill and patio table provide outdoor living space. Indoors you can sleep in the queen bed downstairs, or up in the loft on a fold-out bed (if you are bringing more people). What a fun little cottage!

When it comes to architecture, there’s just something magical about a round-ish structure. In the case of this octagonal yurt-style home, the cathedral ceilings and circular floor have amazing acoustics, this Airbnb host calls it a “sound healing temple.”
And the temple lacks nothing! There’s a full bathroom, a full kitchen, multiple futon beds to sleep on, and a wood-burning stove. If the weather is nice, you can enjoy the fire-pit outdoors. Plus the musical instruments inside the yurt give you a chance to enjoy sound healing during your stay. What do you think?

It took five years and 200 volunteers, but this incredible, enchanting cordwood yurt is complete! The off-grid structure was built primarily from materials gathered on their 225-acre organic farm, and the results are fantastic. If you’re not familiar with cordwood construction, it’s the process of using short logs and mortar/cob to build a structure.
The natural materials make this such a cozy spot. Inside the home, you’ll find a queen bed, a kitchenette, a live-edge bench, a dining table, and a propane fireplace all circling a central vertical log with tons of character. It’s the perfect woodland hideaway!

Ansel is a self-proclaimed “tiny house hacker,” and that’s because he’s figured out how to earn $6,000/month off of the three tiny homes in his backyard! Oh, and they’re all legal dwellings so he doesn’t have to worry about getting shut down.
He owns and lives on the small plot of land where his 800-square-foot home sits, and then he has two THOWs and a detached garage he turned into a luxury ADU. Ansel rents all three spaces on Airbnb and the income has completely changed his life (for the better). Enjoy the tour of all of them below.

Not all vacation properties would make good full-time homes, but this Scandinavian-inspired cabin in Vermont has an awesome layout that could work as a small family dwelling. There’s a loft bedroom, along with a first-floor bedroom that sleeps up to three on bunks and a trundle.
The main living area is open concept, with a full kitchen along the back wall and a living room with a woodburning stove. There’s a small porch overlooking the woods, and a 3/4 bathroom indoors. My favorite feature is the mudroom! That’s what makes it family-friendly, for sure.

We’ve noticed a lot more tiny homes being used for Airbnb on local farms as another income stream for small businesses. It’s truly a great idea, especially for those who want to experience farm life! Perch & Nest designed and built this beautiful Roost 24 model for Foxfire Meadow in North Carolina, and they expect it to be ready for guests in January.
The house has a standard loft tiny house layout, with the galley kitchen next to the bathroom on one end of the house and the living room on the other end. The bedroom can fit a queen-sized bed, and you get up there via a ladder. What do you think?
