Where can your tiny house adventure take you? Tiny homes are gaining so much acceptability across the US, the opportunities are endless for where you could go and what you could do with your tiny house.  If you have chosen a size of tiny home that will allow it to travel well, you have probably already planned out your travels and accommodations.  Some campgrounds, including privately owned and larger well-known campgrounds scattered across the country, are now accepting tiny homes at their sites.  This really opens a lot of options for short- term and some long- term stays for the tiny dweller depending on the campground. This brings up some good questions to ask yourself regarding what you will need while you are on the road.  Make sure a campground can accommodate your tiny house as well what your needs are. Do you require dumping, electric or water?  Seasoned campers recommend purchasing a reduced rate discount card that is available for...

Looking Forward Many of you may remember in the beginning, we had concept video of Tiny Estates highlighting the near end phase of the project on our website.   We eventually removed the concept video from the website as we were having people check in and ask us “which way to the beach?”.   It was obvious that some might have been missing the idea of the “concept” part of the video, arrived at TE with certain expectations, and were disappointed when we explained there was no beach at this point, and it was a concept video they had seen.   Luckily for us, it only happened a couple of times, but we felt it was best to remove it for any future guests looking for the beach.  We try to convey our future vision to those who visit TE, that we are in the process of several year projects and we will become more of a community and resort with a more luxurious feel by the time it reaches completion. So here is a first-hand look at what's coming for us and you in the...
