Amazon Dropped a Cabin-Style Tiny House With a Dreamy Porch

As someone who rents an apartment, I miss having outdoor space to host friends and get some sun. Though I enjoy scrolling through online real estate listings, a house is out of the question for now, but this charming tiny home is a fraction of the price and has a beautiful covered front porch. Perfect for chatting with guests, hosting a barbecue, or just drinking my morning coffee, the raised porch and pillars supporting the roof make this tiny house look like a dreamy winter chalet home.

For $18,000, this prefab home is made for outdoor entertaining in rain or shine but is plenty cozy indoors during winter, and it’s available at Amazon. If you’re ready to dive into tiny house living, here’s what you need to know.

Generic Foldable Portable Modular Container Cabin

Most Amazon tiny houses are modular homes, meaning you can add on what you want during the ordering process. This single-level container home can accommodate one or two bedrooms and a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. The basic design is 20 x 20 feet, but it can be lengthened to 30 or 40 feet to fit more rooms.

In addition to the under-$20,000 price, the house is supposed to be easy to install, arriving as a flat-pack container that expands to the full home. It has a strong steel frame and insulated panels to protect you from the elements, and the walls and roof insulation are both fireproof and waterproof. 

While the interior design is up to you, the home’s main selling point is the expansive, chalet-style front porch. With a classic design that belongs in a winter wonderland, I can envision cozying up on the porch with a cup of hot cocoa to watch the snowfall or having neighbors around for evening cocktails at sunset. In warmer weather, it would be a great space to use an outdoor grill, fire pit, or pizza oven. And you could make it even cozier with an outdoor rug or rustic Adirondack chairs.

There are always new tiny houses and cabin kits popping up on Amazon, like this chalet-style home, but they tend to go out of stock quickly. If you’re ready to buy your dream home on a budget, take the plunge before it’s too late.
