  • Retreat Communities with Tiny Living Accommodations

    For the new year, I’m planning on taking some time away from the computer to contemplate the next few months, practice some yoga and do some quiet meditation. While searching around for a retreat location, I kept running into meditation retreats and centers that had some sweet tiny houses, yurts and cabins for rent. Each of them are also located in some beautiful locations. Staying at one of these meditation or yoga retreats is not only a good way to cleanse your body and soul, but you can also get some great tiny house and small space ideas.” – Christina

  • Hybrid Tiny Home

    While this tiny house looks like a portable structure it is in fact built much more like a normal stick-built home. I thought the unusual shape and clever design made it a worthy design concept to share. It was created by John Paananen.

    One of my readers, David, tipped me off to these simple prefab yurts made by Geo-Lite Systems. They also sell some very interesting stand-alone home utility systems that combine the bathroom, kitchen, heating, electric power  and waste handling systems. Great find, thanks David.
