What brought us to the idea of tiny houses, and what are some of the benefits of this type of vacation rental?
First, it’s all about the experience. Being in a place that is custom designed, with nature surrounding you, is a special experience. We came up with this idea in mid-2017, after watching shows on HGTV and seeing the interest in tiny home living increase exponentially and rapidly.
More than just being a vacation rental, we look to provide experiences. Funnily enough, right after we started this project, Getaway, a tiny house vacation rental hub, launched and received quite a bit of investment and positive press, which only increased our confidence that we are truly within the zeitgeist of the times.
“People are yearning to find a counterbalance to the digital age,” says Getaway founder and CEO Jon Staff. “Cities are great, but nature can provide things the city doesn’t. Technology is powerful, but we can’t be connected all the time. Tiny houses capture the minimalism and simplicity that went out of style … but seems to be coming back in reaction to a world that has become too busy, complicated and stressful.”
