Coolest Tiny Homes You Can Book on Airbnb This Year
Less is more. At least, that’s the case when your home is 200 square feet. Minimalism is a growing trend (thank you, Marie Kondo), and people are not only adopting ways to live simply but also sharing that simplicity with guests.
If you’re curious about living in a tiny house, check out Airbnb. There’s a surprising number of accommodations that are built out of shipping containers, treehouses, lookout towers and log cabins. And, usually, these tiny homes are in small towns, away from busy cities so that you can unplug and unwind in a cozy atmosphere.
When it comes to finding a tiny house, you just need to know where to look. But don’t worry, we did the research for you. Here are the best tiny homes on Airbnb that you can book in the U.S. right now.
