Try It Tiny

What is Try It Tiny?

"Try It Tiny connects people to give them the opportunity to rent a tiny house or share their land with tiny house enthusiasts nationwide. Become part of a growing community by renting a tiny house or parking your tiny house on hosts’ properties.

Try It Tiny started from our dedication to help tiny house owners in need of a parking solution. Whether it's for a short or long-term stay, we aim to aggregate as many options as possible. It has quickly evolved to also engage tiny house enthusiasts and offer a way to give tiny living a try, before they buy."

- Try It Tiny Owner, Maggie Daniels
