In the backyard of the Gold Spike is a building that looks plucked straight from a fairy tale. It’s a classic cabin in miniature: tiny front porch with a tiny wooden railing, tiny peaked roof above a tiny arched window. With an upstairs loft reached by ladder, a bitsy bathroom and a small kitchen, the whole thing measures just 161 square feet—a complete home condensed into one adorably petite package. The cabin is the Elm 24 Horizon, one of 24 different floor plans by Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, which sells fully assembled and build-it-yourself miniature abodes, all trailer-ready and made to roam. But unlike your average mobile homes, Tumbleweed’s cabins have warm, wooden interiors and lots of character. So life on the road feels a little more rooted.
