Just like every other borderline obsessive HGTV watcher, I am in LOVE with tiny houses. What’s not to love really? Gorgeous designs, cool space-saving ideas, and amazing interiors are the stuff my dreams are made of. Realistically though, with two kids, two dogs, and a closet the size of some tiny houses, there is no way I could ever actually live in one. I would love to rent a tiny house for vacation though, which to me is the best of both worlds.
I’ve scoped out rental websites for the best family-friendly tiny houses that you can rent for your next vacation. These tiny house rentals are a perfect way to enjoy spending time with kids in a unique setting. Many of these tiny houses are located in beautiful settings
