The Journey

June 1, 2018






Well, we’ve made it through another interesting week. Meeting new people from all over the country has been quite an adventure. It’s interesting to see what most people’s interest in tiny homes is. 

Most people have seen the many popular TV shows and have an interest in seeing what they are really like on the inside. A lot of folks are the journey of building their own tiny homes and come here to further their research. For instance, we have one lady who stays for a full week in each one of our homes, she has quite a way to go. That's part of her journey to her tiny home. In fact, she will be checking in again today, to stay in her third tiny home with us, and we love having her.

We love meeting all the wonderful people who come to tour and to stay, and we love hearing their stories. One thing for certain, there is a common thread among most folks, and they all are looking for a better quality of life. Could you imagine having a carefree life? No mortgage, no huge utility bills, no more being a slave to a house and job, so you can spend time with the ones you love?  Having time to create memories, have more meaningful experiences, more time outdoors, traveling or focusing on the things that truly give you pleasure.  We’ve lost sight of these important yet simple things that bring us joy. People are coming back to a simpler way of life. This is what people want, this is the change they want (and some may need) in their lives. 

We may only have a few residents, as we mostly have overnight rentals, but it warms my heart to know, we are helping folks along the path of their journey. We are helping people see what their futures could look like.  And from where I'm sitting in my tiny office looking out, the future is looking pretty good.  Where are you on your journey?

The Houses: The Low Country September 9, 2018  Many of you maybe already familiar with the Low Country. It made a quite an impression when it arrived here at Tiny Estates, and for good reason. This tiny house has big personality and lots of rustic style. Built on a 39 ½’ gooseneck trailer, this low country rustic timber home has plenty of space with 379sq ft of space to call home. When you open the custom wood door and walk in, you get a beautiful aroma of fresh cut lumber. Everyone walks in and takes in a big whiff, breathe it in, it’s awfully nice. You’ll be amazed at the custom-built wood cabinetry with built wine glass holder, granite counter tops and full-size appliances. If you ever wanted to try tiny, but thought you couldn’t handle a tight space, this is the house for you! Custom wood floors, walls and ceilings lend a masculine feel to the interior with rustic touches of décor throughout. Custom bucket light shades and a fabulously tiled and stone bath...

The Houses:   The Skyline The Skyline is one of the newest additions to our already great lineup of tiny homes.   But if you are looking for something a little different, this house has some great unique features. 274sq ft doesn’t seem like a lot of space, but you will be surprised at how well this space has been designed.   It sleeps up to 6 people with two queen lofts and a fold out sofa. Both loft spaces are unique with two different and unique sets of steps to access the lofts. One loft has walk up stairs that wind along the wall and up to the sleeping area with a queen bed.   The other has a different type of stairs that almost appear floating, those are pictured below that leads to the loft where there is a custom live edge wood piece that serves as an artful headboard and queen bed. At 24’ long and 8.5 wide, you will not feel like you are in a compact space.   The bright blue color stands out against the natural landscape and gr...

The Houses:  The Escape Houses number 32 and 33 rolled in not that long ago.  Both coming from the tiny home builder, Liberation Tiny Homes. We have several houses onsite already from Liberation and but these two are quite unique. The Escape is black and gray on the exterior and is the modern version of the Rumspringa.  Similar to the farmhouse originally, but the roof is a shed style roof more like the roof a modern.  The house has lovely wood accent pieces throughout including a custom made headboard mounted on the wall in the loft and a wood feature on the end of the loft that extends onto the ceiling. Some have already said that the wood pieces on the loft and ceiling resemble bars in a jail cell and the dark colors of gray and black don't necessarily jive with the name the Escape, but it seems fitting for this new tiny. The cupboards are black and have gold knobs and handles that really stand out. We see an updated refrigerator with a fr...
