Test Drive Tiny Living at this Tiny House Hotel

For all the hype around tiny houses, far more people talk and read about them than live in them. We suspect if people were given the opportunity to live in one for a while, they might take the tiny plunge…or put a down payment on a McMansion. WeeCasa is a hotel that gives you that opportunity, offering up one of 10 tiny house “hotel rooms” that let you experience tiny house living firsthand.

Weecasa is located in Lyons, Colorado, a small town an hour north of Denver in the foothills of the Front Range. Unlike Caravan Tiny House Hotel in downtown Portland, which has been around for a few years, Weecasa has a more pastoral vibe. The tiny houses are nestled into the trees and sit next to the St Vrain River. Lyons has a ton of things to do such as festivals, outdoor activities and is a quick, albeit uphill, drive to Rocky Mountain National Park.

The houses are built by a number of different tiny house manufacturers, and only one exceeds 200 sq ft. They are quite handsome and outfitted like tiny houses you could live in, replete with kitchenettes and bathrooms. In fact, WeeCasa is as much showroom as hotel. If you like the one you stay in–or perhaps a neighbor’s model–WeeCasa will help you buy one, or one just like it. 

Rooms run start at $139/night. Visit their website for more information.
