10 Amazing Tiny House Vacation Rentals

Before living in a tiny home I was obsessed with research tiny house options across the country. Like the ones that are between 200 and 300 square feet. I thought it’d be awesome to try out “tiny home” life and stay in one for a weekend to give it a whirl. With a little digging on Airbnb and a few other vacation rental sites, I found out that this is actually an option. Check out these 10 amazing tiny house vacation rentals where you can try a tiny house on for size.

You might be finding yourself in the same place as I did years ago. Just so you know, the answer to my urge for tiny house life came in 2016 when I bought a 4×4 Mercedes Sprinter Van and built it out into the ultimate tiny home. Check out the van life section on Bearfoot Theory, where I share all the van life tips I’ve learned from the road as well as information about my build and van conversion. Renting a campervan for your next vacation is also an option, we’ve created a separate blog post on great places to rent a campervan for your next US vacation.
