The Houses: The Eagle
August 9, 2018




Much like an Eagle soars above the trees and searches the grounds below, our Eagle sits atop a hill looking down over two fishing ponds and most of the other homes at Tiny Estates. Its perched above the road, nestled in the trees, and over sees much of the property. 

The name on this house is Eddie, and it serves as a small memorial to a man who lost his life while serving us.  In the early days of clean up when the property was acquired, we hired Eagle Disposal, a local company out of East Earl, PA to remove the trash and debris from our major clean efforts.  Eddie was a driver who worked for Eagle Disposal and would haul away debris as we cleared the land.  One day while Eddie was working and hauled away a load from Tiny Estates, he suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away.  Naming the house, The Eagle and listing Eddie's name on the house was just a small way we could memorialize and remember Eddie.

The Eagle may represent a sad end, but it also represents a beginning.  This was the very house, our owner, Abby Hobson built and paved the way for Tiny Estates.  Abby purchased the 24' aluminum frame and began building her first tiny home on wheels. She had some assistance with finishing from Liberation Tiny Homes in Leola, PA.  When she was finished she realized her issues had only just begun.  She tried to put her THOW in different locations, in different towns, boroughs and townships and quickly found, she had a real problem, she wasn't allowed to have a THOW anywhere.  Abby wasn't going to settle for "No" and so she began pioneering the way to achieve what is now today Tiny Estates, a 14-acre tiny home resort and community. 

You won't miss the Eagle when driving through the property, as it sits high up on the right side, with bold South facing orange double glass doors. It's a popular home as it's modeled after our modern style homes from Liberation Tiny Homes.  It features a king size bed in the loft and full-size pullout sleeping sofa in the main living area, along with a full tub in the bathroom as well as a fully functioning kitchen.  Families and couples love this house for its comfortable size and location.  Right next to the Eagle is a quaint community area with a cabana, large hot tub, propane burning fire pit, outdoor couch, picnic table and outdoor games. You're just a few steps from the fishing ponds and Adirondack chairs scattered about the property. 

The Eagle means a lot to us at Tiny Estates and certainly is an important part of our history, and history is certainly what we're making here.  You can come and book a stay in our Eagle and participate in this ground-breaking movement and be a part of our history.

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 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...

UPDATE: Brandi and Jon's Tiny Home Journey We first introduced you to Brandi and Jon in December 2018.  They are on their journey to tiny house ownership, and it’s been about two months and we want to give you an update on where they are in their process. When we last blogged about Brandi and Jon, they were scheduled to have a settlement on their 2000sq ft home on January 25th.  Just prior to this, they were informed that the buyer’s buyer had backed out of their offer on their home they were selling, and the buyers could no longer move forward with settlement on Brandi and Jon’s home.  This was a devastating blow to them both, as they all just took huge steps in this exciting yet scary process.  The family already paired down their large home, giving away almost all of their big furniture and many important items to family and friends, so now what? In the meantime, they took their son, Nate, back to college in New York after winter break, an...
