Our collection of unique accommodations allows visitors to experience tiny living spaces of various kinds, and in tiny doses.
Curious about the tiny house lifestyle, but unsure about the practicalities of downsizing? Or maybe you’re concerned you might feel too confined in a smaller space? We hear that a lot, but the only way for you to truly know is to experience it for yourself. So go ahead, try a few different styles! And while you’re here, please ask us lots of questions. We are passionate about tiny living and enjoy sharing our knowledge with anyone eager to learn!
