Exploring Alternatives takes us on a tour of one of the coolest tiny houses we’ve ever seen. Created by Repère Boréal, the Uhu is a 200-sq.ft. steel home that floats 40 feet in the air. After ascending a spiral staircase, occupants cross a bridge in the trees to enter the 1-bedroom home. Inside, it has a kitchen, bathroom, and a desk.

This innovative shelter system lets you set up a 10×10 foot cabin using nothing more than a screw gun. Its lightweight panels keep the elements out and feature vented shatterproof acrylic windows. Its roof structure is made from aluminum covered in a 3-layer insulated vinyl to keep its interior dry and comfortable.

The Lumipod offers a modern take on the cabin in the woods. The compact dwelling’s most notable feature is its curved glass picture windows which can be retracted into its walls, so its main space can transform from an indoor space to an outdoor one in seconds. It’s available in three sizes, ranging from 18m² to 42m².

Getaway offers tiny cabins for escaping the hustle and bustle. Locations scattered around the U.S. within driving distance of big cities. Each one provides intimate spaces with views of nature, comfy bedding, a private bath with a hot shower and toilet, heat and A/C, a kitchenette, and outdoor space with a fire pit.

Need a getaway from the daily grind? We’ve always wanted a custom-built cabin in the woods to escape the world.
