Book an Unforgettable Vacation with these Tiny Homes
For many, the idea of living day-to-day life inside the walls of a “tiny home” is just that, an idea, or unreachable fantasy. Though, just because it’s not the ideal fit for most long-term homeowners doesn’t mean that it should be ruled out as a vacation destination, as suggested by Tardiff and Stamp’s Architectural Digest article.
From a variety of international perspectives one could take, many of us are living in spacious, sometimes excessive situations, so of course it’s fun to imagine a life basking in minilatlist, utilitarian design and function. So that’s just what makes the escapist fantasy of a vacation that much more exciting when you book a micro-lodge, because you’re not just living in a different location; you’re experiencing a different lifestyle.
Tiny houses have had a recent surge in popularity due to the fact that their innovative design and unique decor options that maximize small spaces tend to make for great photo opportunities. Thus, the trend of renting tiny homesnaturally followed their inception with the lack of square footage being supplemented by environmental conservation and diverse locations. Many of these micro houses are built on areas such as forests and beaches, where other homes can’t be bulty, thus making their rental all the more inviting.
Located in the Pacific Northwest, Mt. Hood Tiny House Village consists of five handcrafted holiday homes just outside of Portland, Oregon, and the 233-square foot “Scarlett Tiny House” is a dream-filled, picturesque escape that allows for up to five guests to dwell inside. The space is inspired by a rustic, farm-house design, and it’s filled with antinue goods and other repurposed materials. The neighboring houses each have distinct design-based personalities that range from the femininely floral Savannah to the masculine Atticus. This collection of homes is operated by Petite Retreats, which also owns tiny-house villages in Leavenworth, Washington and South Hampton, New Hampshire, but at $139/night, this is one can’t-beat escape.
This quaint tiny home is better known as the Hudson Valley Glass House, as it’s set against a backdrop of 30 acres of orchards, vineyards, and wildlife. This beautifully-designed home is filled with modern comforts like wi-fi, air conditioning, and a well-stocked kitchen, though guests are able to buy fresh eggs from the host’s chicken coop in addition to grilling on the communal fire pit. Located just 90 minutes from New York City and close in proximity to otherHudson Valley attractions, for just $169/night this is the ideal New England getaway destination.
Located in the suburbs of Georgia, this 200-square-foot rental home is complete with two lofted beds, a full kitchen and accompanying outdoor areas that include a picnic table and fire pit. Though tiny, it truly has everything a traveler needs for a comfortable stay outside a historic, yet charming city to explore. When home, you’ll enjoy quirky decor and a lovely outdoor living space at ust $102/night. All profits go to the local nonprofit, Camp Helaman, a group that provides outdoor recreation facilities to community groups.
This particular home has a utilitarian design that will have you bragging and sharing photos of your lumber-filled vacation for years to come. Owned by the Getaway property group, this property is found just outside of Boston at a former family-run campground in the Southern New Hampshire woods. The 43 simple, stylish tiny homes offered by Getaway are surrounded by a beautiful backdrop of forest and lakeside views.
