Tiny Homes For Rent
If you're trying to downsize, look no further
While we can't deny the appeal of gorgeous, massive celeb-owned mansions, there's something about a tiny house that definitely excites us. Small spaces, although cramped, can provide amazing inspiration . . . especially when it comes to the little tips and tricks they make use of in order to seem way bigger than they are. And don't get us started on the decor: Small spaces are often the most exciting, especially since they make full use of every inch of space available.
So when it comes to your next trip away, why not consider a tiny rental, as opposed to a large-scale hotel? Not only will you get the cozy factor, you'll also have a gorgeous home all to yourself at a fraction of the price. Trust us: There's definitely appeal in downsizing, and these 10 selections will show you exactly why.
