Some tiny houses chase minimalism; The Knoll celebrates color. Built by New Hampshire–based Backcountry Tiny Homes, this 38-foot gooseneck tiny house packs 390 square feet of bright, boho, art-filled living into a NOAH-certified home that sleeps up to five. As the builder puts it, “a large kitchen and ample storage are great features of this house, but the natural lighting and bright colors are what make it a home.” With a standing-height sleeping loft, a window-wrapped living room, a bold green kitchen, and an accessible floor plan that can change with you over the years, The Knoll proves a small footprint can feel genuinely joyful. Let’s take a look inside.

A Bold, Two-Tone Exterior on a 38-Foot Gooseneck
The Knoll makes a statement before you even step inside. Its exterior mixes metal and board-and-batten siding in a two-tone palette of slate blue-grey and sage green, accented by a cheerful red entry door. Underneath, it rides on a heavy-duty gooseneck trailer with a 21,000-pound GAWR — at 38 feet long and 10 feet wide, it’s a substantial, room-to-spread-out tiny house that needs a one-ton-plus truck to tow. The gooseneck design is what makes the standing-height loft possible.

A Living Room Built Around Light and Color
The living area is the heart of the home, and it’s flooded with light. A band of clerestory windows runs above eye level while larger windows wrap the walls, framing the surrounding woods and pouring daylight across the stained knotty-pine ceiling. A burnt-orange sleeper sofa (which sleeps one to two and hides storage underneath) anchors the space, paired with built-in bookshelves, an entertainment cabinet, and a mini-split for year-round comfort.

It’s a space designed to feel personal rather than precious. The bright red door, patterned rugs, and layered textiles give the room warmth, and the high ceiling keeps it from ever feeling boxed in — a reminder that good natural light does more for a small home than almost any other single feature.

A Curated Gallery Wall
Backcountry leans into the idea that “color does not add a pleasant quality to design — it reinforces it.” Nowhere is that clearer than the living room’s gallery wall, where framed botanical prints, travel posters, and original art climb all the way up to the clerestory windows. It’s a styling choice anyone can adapt, and it turns the wall into a focal point that makes the whole home feel collected and lived-in.

A Full Kitchen With a Retro Pop
The kitchen is a proper, cook-in-it kitchen. Deep green cabinets pair with a warm wood-veneer countertop and a grey subway-tile backsplash, with a stainless gas range, open shelving, a knife magnet, and a stainless sink fitted with a touchless pull-down faucet. A knotty-pine accent wall and woven pendant lights keep it feeling warm rather than clinical, and a large pantry with a microwave nook handles the storage a full kitchen needs.

The showstopper is the retro-style refrigerator in bright teal — a full 10-cubic-foot fridge that doubles as a piece of décor. It’s exactly the kind of playful, color-forward choice that defines The Knoll and sets it apart from the sea of white-and-wood tiny houses.

Two Lofts and a Sleeper Sofa: Sleeps Up to Five
The Knoll’s gooseneck layout gives it a rare luxury for a tiny house: a primary loft you can actually stand up in, with 5’6″ to 6’6″ of headroom and room for a queen bed. A second storage-and-guest loft above the bathroom fits a twin mattress, and the main-floor sleeper sofa adds another spot — so the home sleeps anywhere from one to five. A staircase (with built-in stair drawers) replaces a precarious ladder, and a large entryway cabinet adds even more storage near the door.

Bathroom, Laundry, and Four-Season Systems
The full bathroom includes a 48-inch shower pan with a sliding door and handheld showerhead, a gas incinerating toilet (plumbing optional), vinyl tile walls, and a vanity with drawer storage, a medicine cabinet, and shelving. Practical, full-time-ready systems back it all up: a mini-split for primary heat and AC, an electric bathroom heater, a tankless gas water heater, and a vented washer/dryer combo. With R-38 roof, R-15 wall, and R-35 floor insulation, it’s built for four-season living. The floor plan below shows how it all fits together.
