From Portland to New York, where to vacation in less than 400 square feet Editor's Note: This post was originally published in September 2016 and has been updated and added to with the most recent information.
Tiny home living may be all the rage on HGTV, but most people have never stepped foot in a tiny house. Whether you?re looking to downsize or take a unique vacation, finding a 400-square-foot or less micro house to try out can been difficult because unlike beach condos or ski chalets, most tiny homes are inhabited by their owners.
But a growing number of tiny home "hotels"?and we use this term loosely?are popping up across the United States. Since we first started tracking this story in in 2016, we?ve found no less than 11 establishments with multiple tiny homes available to rent by the night. The epicenter of the movement is in Oregon, where my family and I recently had the pleasure of staying (you can read all about that adventure, over here). In Portland and elsewhere, entrepreneurs are capitalizing on the tiny home trend by creating small "villages" of tiny homes and offering a few basic hotel amenities like maid service. But beware, it?s better to think of a tiny home hotel vacation as glamping or camping rather than a traditional hotel stay; accommodations often feature electric composting toilets and limited space for cooking or dining.
If you?re hoping to try out tiny living, however, these 11 hotels could be just the thing.
