We received another wonderful testominal, this time from our friends at River & Twine!
River & Twine contracted our team at Modern Tiny Living to build 12 beautiful tiny homes for their tiny house resort in North Carolina, and we're thrilled to hear that this business has turned into a resounding success. Here's what R&T had to say about their experience with MTL: "When we set out to create a one-of-a-kind experience at Rocky Mount Mills in Rocky Mount, NC we knew we needed to find a builder who shared our vision & passion for beautiful, tiny spaces. That's when we stumbled upon Modern Tiny Living. That was over 5 years ago! Our guests love staying at River and Twine, our tiny house hotel. The unique finishes and experience keeps them coming back to visit. Work with Modern Tiny Living on this project was a great decision!" - R&T Management We are sincerely grateful to River & Twine for letting us play a role in the creation of their unbelievable vacation rental business. Do you have a great idea for a vacation rental, Airbnb, or tiny house resort? MTL has years of experience and proven feedback on best practices for rental tiny houses. We build robust, beautiful, and resilient tiny homes that can easily handle the traffic of a vacation home. Contact Us Here Today Celebrating 500,000 Followers: A Journey of Innovation, Inspiration, and Tiny Living Dreams At Modern Tiny Living, we are thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone: over 500,000 followers on Instagram! This achievement represents more than just a number—it symbolizes the growth of a vibrant community passionate about redefining what it means to call a place “home.” We’re deeply grateful for your support as we continue to innovate and inspire through the art of tiny living. From Dream to Reality: The Evolution of Modern Tiny Living Since our founding, our mission has been clear: to craft beautiful, functional, and sustainable tiny homes tailored to the unique lifestyles of our clients. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into a movement that’s changing the housing landscape. Every tiny home we build reflects the stories, dreams, and creativity of the people who live in them. As Justin Baldoni, actor and filmmaker, shared, “From the very beginning, the team at Modern Tiny Living was there for us every step of the way. They took the time to get to know our family, our lifestyle, and our design preferences, and the result was a tiny home that is beyond my family’s wildest dreams. Every detail is perfect, from the clever storage solutions to the stunning finishes. They even gave us the most thoughtful and generous gift on delivery for our kids. Our tiny is now our favorite part of our property, and when you step inside it, you can feel the love it was built with.” It’s testimonials like these that drive our passion for creating homes that are as functional as they are stunning. A Legacy of Quality and Care At Modern Tiny Living, every home we build is a reflection of our dedication to craftsmanship and care. We don’t just build tiny homes—we craft spaces that embody quality, comfort, and personality. Brynna and Tyler S., full-time tiny home residents, shared their journey with us: “We absolutely love our house that Modern Tiny Living built for us; it is everything we wanted and more! The quality of the house is top-notch, and it is evident that a tremendous amount of care is put into each individual home. We started the process with MTL in June 2018 and moved into the house full-time in December 2018. After one and a half years of living in it, we still love calling it our home. We are so thankful we partnered with Trent and the team at Modern Tiny Living to make our tiny home dreams a reality.” Media Features and Global Recognition We’ve been fortunate to be featured by outlets like FOX & Friends, Forbes, and The Today Show, which have allowed us to share our designs with a global audience. These features have helped demonstrate that tiny living is more than a trend—it’s a movement toward sustainability, intentionality, and freedom. Tiny Homes: The Future of Vacation Rentals As we look to the future, we see the potential for tiny homes to transform more than just personal living—they are becoming a cornerstone of the vacation rental market. Monique S., who owns two Modern Tiny Living homes, shared her experience: “I have two tiny homes built by Modern Tiny Living and absolutely love them! They have become Airbnbs, and every guest from around the globe loves the experience and stay! They are perfect for guests looking for a unique and trendy stay, but at the same time modern and a beautiful tiny home that you can enjoy all year round. We have had these tiny homes for over four years already, and both homes have been fully booked, 365 days a year! They are a great investment for anyone looking to Airbnb them and collect extra income.” Tiny homes as vacation rentals provide not only a unique guest experience but also a sustainable and profitable investment for homeowners. It’s a trend we’re excited to see grow! A Community of Support and Customization
What sets Modern Tiny Living apart is our commitment to customization and care. From the initial inquiry to the final build, we prioritize open communication and collaboration with our clients. Suzanne P., another happy client, shared: “I could NOT be happier in my decision to go tiny! I researched companies for a while before making the jump, and I went with MTL because not only did they have an Architect and Engineer on their team (something I didn’t see a lot with other companies), but anytime I reached out to Trent with preliminary questions, he ALWAYS made himself available and was never pushy—just happy to answer my many questions. Once purchasing, they weren’t kidding with how customized you can go!” Looking Ahead As Modern Tiny Living celebrate's 500,000 followers, we remain focused on what lies ahead:

We love to hand deliver every single tiny house we create, as our work is a true point of pride. In this case, Trent hauled the 18 ft., off-grid Pathway to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado to its final home. What better way to commemorate a glorious tiny house dream-come-true than with an ice cold sunset beer? This was an amazing moment, as is every moment when a customer first lays eyes on their dream tiny home. So many people dream of a tiny home in the mountains, a tranquil getaway from it all...and some people DO IT!
If you're ready to get off the fence and start the converation, we're always available to chat. We'd love to hear your ideas! There are a lot of people and companies out there building (or claming to be building) tiny homes, but very few who have gone through the certification process to become RVIA-Certified. Know the difference before choosing a builder, as it can save you a world of issues and headaches. We've been in this industry for 8 years now, and we've seen it all. Allow us to offer some advice: Don't even consider a tiny house (on wheels) builder that is not RVIA-certified. There is an easy way to ensure that your builder is both qualified and certified to build safe and robust tiny homes, and that's with the RVIA badge of approval.
Here are a few reasons why RVIA certification sets Modern Tiny Living (and other RVIA-certified builders) apart from the rest: Compliance with Standards: RVIA certification ensures that the tiny house meets specific industry standards for safety, construction, and functionality. The certification process involves rigorous inspections and compliance with building codes and regulations. This ensures that the tiny house is built to a high standard of quality, and its components, such as electrical and plumbing systems, meet safety requirements. Access to RV Parks and Campgrounds: Many RV parks and campgrounds have specific regulations and requirements for the types of vehicles allowed on their premises. RVIA certification ensures that your tiny house on wheels meets the necessary criteria to stay in these designated areas. This opens up a wide range of accommodation options, including access to amenities such as electricity, water, and sewage hookups. Insurance and Financing Options: Insurance companies often prefer to work with RVIA-certified structures due to their compliance with industry standards. Similarly, lenders may be more willing to provide loans or financing options for certified tiny houses, as they offer a level of assurance in terms of safety and quality. Resale Value: An RVIA-certified tiny house on wheels typically holds better resale value compared to non-certified alternatives. The certification adds credibility and reassurance to potential buyers, making it easier to sell your tiny house if you decide to move on or upgrade in the future. Infrastructure and Utilities: RVIA-certified tiny houses are designed to connect to existing RV infrastructure and utilities. This means they can easily hook up to electricity, water, and sewage systems in RV parks or campgrounds. Well-Defined Standards: RVIA certification establishes a set of standards that builders must adhere to. As a result, you can have confidence in the construction and know that the house has been built according to established guidelines. While other types of tiny homes, such as those built on foundations or designed for off-grid living, have their own advantages, an RVIA-certified tiny house on wheels stands out for its mobility, compliance with standards, access to RV parks, insurance and financing options, resale value, utility connections, and adherence to well-defined construction standards. These benefits make it an attractive choice for those seeking a mobile lifestyle or the flexibility to move their home as needed. DIY-building your own tiny home from scratch can be a romantic proposition but often falls short when it comes time to frame the home, swing the hammer, or troubleshoot electrical issues. Without a doubt, the tiny house movement has its roots in the DIY-minded individual.
The goal was simple: build a budget-friendly, tiny house and live the minimalist lifestyle. Unfortunately, the results were often subpar, low quality, and outright dangerous. We've seen countless homes that have fallen apart in transit, collapsed, or worst of all, resulted in a fire. Truth told, unless you're an experienced craftsman or general contractor, using a professional tiny house builder like Modern Tiny Living should be the only option. Working with a professional tiny house builder offers several safety and design advantages compared to attempting a DIY tiny house build. Here are some reasons why it's beneficial to work with a professional:
