Since we last spoke to Michelle, she has gone on to remodel a container-shaped construction trailer into another tiny rental. My Tiny Bunkhouse is the tenth tiny home she's designed or built in 10 years, which covers everything from a converted food wagon to a gorgeous A-frame cabin rental.

But that's not all. Michelle also hosts My Tiny Creekside Retreat, which features an adorable lakeside cottage for group rentals, that the family also loves to use as a base for holiday dinners and sleepovers. Life is certainly full for this enterprising tiny home lover! Michelle also runs a business renting out her other passion in life: teardrop trailers.
