Tiny House Blog

Greg O’Neil sent me this photo that he took at Capitol Reef National Park in early March of this year.

The stone and mud house is 10×12 and dates back to the early 1800s. Eleven people called it home at one time (eight were children) and a couple of them slept in the rock ledges behind the house.

“This area of southern Utah has a diversity of landscape like no other area in the state – red rock formations and canyons, pristine meadows, alpine forests, as well as lush green valleys.”
Quote from: Capitol Reef National Park

Kevin Stevens sent me this cool picture. He says: “I could not help but think about the tiny house in a landscape set as we traveled by this neat little adobe cabin in Utah.

It’s in Capital Reef National Park, and we stopped there on our spring road trip. It belonged to some early settlers, and is called the Behunin Cabin.” Check out Kevin’s blog where he is also building a tiny house and has some great stories and photography.

On my road trip to the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park, I had to stop and take some photos of this darling little log home just outside of Cedar City, Utah. The Mini Pine Hollow log home by Pine Hollow Log Homes is 11 by 16 feet with a full loft and a 4 by 16 foot covered deck.
