20 Best Tiny House Rentals on Airbnb and Beyond (2023)

Another one of the best tiny Airbnb rentals we’ve found is this blissfully isolated and nature-rich cabin in the woods of North Carolina. This rustic living space contains one full bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen on 15 acres. Outside, you can explore over one mile of trails, local wineries, waterfalls, and farmers markets. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are also minutes away. If you’re looking for a woodsy tiny-house vacation, you’ve found it!

This bohemian hideaway is found in the heart of Joshua Tree, the popular desert oasis two hours east of Los Angeles. Its impeccably designed contemporary interior offers ample space, with a complete living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. In addition to the full bathroom with shower, there’s also an alfresco soak tub outside overhung with string lights. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway, and about as off-grid as you can get while still accessing Wi-Fi.

This design-forward home impresses from the minute you swing open its turquoise double doors (with digital lock for self-check-in, no less). The living room’s contrasting black beams on white planking are stunning, and inside the bathroom you’ll find subway tile and minimalist decor. As one happy reviewer puts it: “What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in style and functionality. Between the houseplants, the adorable decor, and the distance to downtown, this place is a must-stay!”

All the comforts of home await in this colorful Orlando tiny home that sits right on Lake Fairview. The house rental comes with access to a paddleboard, fishing poles, and a tandem kayak, so you can really enjoy all the lake has to offer. It’s a truly unique find of the many tiny homes nestled inside this lake community. Plus downtown Orlando is just 10 minutes away by car.

The light-filled tiny house is 192 square feet with 12"-cedar-plank ceilings and lots of natural light. The rental sleeps two with a studio bedroom and a bathroom featuring a cathedral shower with a rain head spout.

Sure, the panoramic windows are the real eye-catchers here, but this off-the-grid tiny home sports many more fun design details, including the floor-to-ceiling blond wood, standing shower, built-in bed and storage, and the distinctive black trim on the exterior. Nearby is Lake Eau Claire and the Augusta State Wildlife Area.

Both a tiny home and an A-frame, this quirky, rustic cabin is a glamping destination. It’s nestled between Glacier and Yellowstone, in Montana, and wild elk sightings are not unheard of. Relax in the hot tub or take a fully solar outdoor shower after a long day of exploring the 100-acre property and nearby hiking trails.

Tropical tiny-house living doesn’t get better than this. Say aloha to a vibrant tiny home bursting with island vibes. It sits on a five-acre property that boasts coffee plants and avocado, banana, and citrus trees, with plenty of walking paths throughout. Wild turkeys and chickens roam the land for a full flora-and-fauna experience. The house itself features a full bedroom with a queen-size bed, a kitchen, and a bathroom complete with soaking tub. Each room is a colorful affair, with shades of melon, turquoise, and yellow throughout the home. The house sleeps up to six guests, thanks to the two sleeping lofts that provide extra space in addition to the primary bedroom.

Previously the summer workshop of sculptor Henry Hudson Kitson in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, the Silo Studio is all charm. Situated on the Santarella estate, this round two-story cottage is surrounded by acres of gardens, ponds, and forest just waiting to be explored. The interiors are as storybook as the façade, with an exposed timber structure, beautifully restored antique furniture, and a cozy fireplace. The bedroom features a romantic canopy bed beneath the 35-foot conical ceiling, as well as views of the trees and a lily pond. Though the studio is popular in the summer months, it has been winterized for cozy cold-weather visits.

Getaway creates retreats a few hours outside of major US cities featuring cabins originally designed by students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. One of Getaway’s collections of tiny cabins is situated in leafy upstate New York. Although easily accessible by train, these quiet holiday rentals are just remote enough for real relaxation (you’re welcome to pack your phone away in a provided lockbox). With sleek designs that emphasize functionality, the two- and four-person cabins boast wilderness views, full bathrooms, kitchens, and wireless speakers—but no Wi-Fi.

Getaway also offers 43 simple but stylish tiny homes just two hours outside of Boston, at a former family-run campground in the woods of southern New Hampshire. If you need more convincing to go off the grid for a weekend, the surrounding forest and lakeside location make a compelling argument. With Getaway, you can live simply, take a break from technology, and refresh—all while experiencing what a tiny house has to offer. The 160- to 200-square-foot cabins are spread over 40 acres and each has a fire ring and picnic tables for s’mores and fireside dining.

Mt. Hood Tiny House Village is made up of five handcrafted holiday homes just outside Portland, Oregon. The 233-square-foot Scarlett Tiny House (center) is a dreamy city escape, sleeping up to five guests and boasting a full kitchen. This farmhouse-inspired space is full of antique goods and repurposed materials. The other homes range in size from 175 to 260 square feet and are outfitted in different styles, from the masculine Atticus and the rustic Lincoln to the floral and feminine Savannah. The site is operated by Petite Retreats, which also has tiny-house villages in Leavenworth, Washington, and South Hampton, New Hampshire.

Located along the Leaf River in Petal, Mississippi, midway between the capital of Jackson and the Gulf Coast, this tiny retreat in the woods is a rustic gem. The home is made to feel larger with all its amenities like the saltwater pool, two-person sauna, fire pit, an expansive outdoor kitchen area, and laundry room. Play games on the wooden deck or cozy up for movie night on the 58" TV in the bedroom.

Creatively crafted with two shipping containers, the interior of this Texas tiny home is insulated and paneled in pine shiplap and trimmed in old barn wood that is over 100 years old. The furnishings include comfy, cream-colored couches; sliding barn doors; and touches of green—like the fiddle leaf fig in the entranceway. Check out the stars from the rooftop deck or catch up on reading on the outdoor bench.

The exterior of this beachside tiny home is an architectural delight, but it has equally impressive interiors. The two-level accommodation includes roomy chairs, a sitting area that doubles as a full bed, and an upstairs with a queen bed. Cook meals in the full kitchen or on the wood-burning stove, stargaze from the expansive deck, and if you have a pet, venture around the corner to the enclosed dog park.

This tucked away cabin in the hills of Los Angeles is bohemian vibes galore. The owner did not forgo any attention to details with the stained glass windows; cheery, mosaic bathroom tile; and classic turntable with a variety of vintage albums. The real showstopper is the grounds, which you can take in from the patio, wicker outdoor furniture, or hammock. Bougainvillea and vines all around make this property feel more like a whimsical treehouse than a recently updated Airbnb Plus.

Follow a newly built wooden deck that leads to a peach-colored front door and blue painted cottage as you approach this charming tiny home. The Charlie tiny house is stocked with all of the essentials, like a coffee maker, Smart TV, memory foam king size bed, Galanz retro fridge, and a sectional sofa roomy enough for extra guests. The light-flooded space is accented with plants and lots of wood details to bring earthy feels into the home.

Within walking distance of Portland’s Alberta Arts District sits the Mesa Tiny House, an architectural gem on wheels. The small interiors are designed with a calm, neutral color scheme and no comfort is overlooked, thanks to a high tech kitchen and washer/dryer. The centerpiece of the space is the comfy queen bed flanked by huge picture windows perfect for taking in the sunset.
