http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com With wheels, traditional proportioning and archetypal form, these little structures are designed to be portable and can, essentially, be sited anywhere you can park a travel trailer.* They range from about 50 to 130 sq ft. Purchase yours ready-made or buy the plans to build it yourself. These homes are stationary designs built as a main house or guest house. Most of the plans have an optional extra bedroom in back. The house sizes range from 261 sq ft up to 874 sq ft. We do not build the Cottages. They are designed to be built on site with a local contractor of your choosing.

Lee attended the DC workshop and is now organizing a group build.
"It will require getting creative about storing my stuff (or getting rid of more), but I’m excited about the challenge."

Brittany came to the Portland Workshop and 5 months later completed her Tumbleweed Fencl.
"I made my mind and was going to build myself a tiny, mobile cabin so that I could live anywhere I wanted."
