Clever Tiny House Raises the Roof to Provide More Headroom

Who says tiny living has to mean cramped corners and crouching under low ceilings? A Washington couple just rewrote the tiny home rulebook with their stunning DIY creation, The Owl’s Nest—a one-of-a-kind mobile home that balances charm, comfort, and clever engineering.

This 30-foot masterpiece, handcrafted by the owners and their family, is no prefab kit—it’s a heartfelt labor of love. Designed on a triple-axle trailer with an expanded 10-foot width, it brings real house vibes to the world of compact living. But here’s the twist: when it’s time to hit the road, the loft roofs literally fold down, transforming the towering 17.5-foot height into a road-ready 15-foot profile. No, it’s not as quick as popping a VW camper top, but it gets the job done—with style.

Clad in sleek steel and cozy cedar siding, the Owl’s Nest stands out before you even step inside. But the magic really kicks in beyond the front deck. You’ll walk into a rustic-chic living area complete with built-in storage, a compact sofa, and a cozy wood-burning stove. The kitchen? Packed with personality—and function. Think cedar live-edge counters (sourced from a family tree!), a full pantry, oven, induction cooktop, and clever nooks for everything else.

Even the bathroom is next-level—yes, there’s a full-size tub, composting toilet, and washer/dryer hookups. Upstairs, two spacious lofts each offer something rare in the tiny house world: standing room. One loft has a king-sized bed accessed by alternating steps; the other a double bed with stairs hiding even more storage.

Perched in Bonney Lake, Washington, on family land, The Owl’s Nest could be yours—for $145,000. It’s not just a home. It’s a story. A statement. And possibly, your next big (tiny) adventure.
