Bamboo Cabins and Desert Getaways on BoutiqueHomes

While it sounds a little highfalutin’, the term “boutique” should actually be part of the tiny house vernacular. Within the hotel and retail industry the term is used to describe a smaller, more intimate and personal experience. Boutique hotels are becoming a more popular option for vacationers who want to support a smaller business with a chic atmosphere. This appealing concept now makes room for boutique homes.

BoutiqueHomes features unique, architecturally appealing homes for rent.

BoutiqueHomes is a searchable website that features personal homes and small hotels around the world with unique, architectural details. Unlike Airbnb and VRBO, this site continues the exclusive theme in that it’s invite-only for the property owner. Anyone interested in design should check out their selection of vacation homes and hotels. Anyone interested in tiny houses should check out the cabins and beach houses section for amazing images and small-space ideas.

For example, the airy Skyview Cabin in the Netherlands is a modern style cabin set in the woods. It sleeps up to four guests and has a tidy kitchen, dinette area and a loft called the ‘bird’s nest.” It rents for only €130 ($156) per night. The Playa Viva beach cottage in Mexico is a rare, round design made from bamboo. It features an open sleeping space, a common area for cooking and views of the water. The cottage rents for $265 per night. The Desert Gold home in Death Valley is a small modular home that sleeps up to six people. It was featured on an episode of Extreme Homes.
