These Harvard-designed tiny homes are the future of weekend getaways
Tiny houses aren’t usually occupied by more than one or two people, but the Ovida has two lofts and a sleeping nook, allowing for a larger group.
It comes equipped with snacks, classic reads, and board games.
Propane heats the water and keeps the unit toasty during cold New England winters.
Solar panels provide electricity and power the electric toilet.
The Ovida looks a little quirkier than a typical tiny house. Staff explains that it's designed specifically for short-term guests, as opposed to full-time residents.
"We can worry less about storing four seasons of your wardrobe and a hundred kitchen gadgets,” Staff says. "That frees us up to do these more whimsical things."
For example, the Lorraine — Getaway's second tiny house — lacks a lofted bed, which tiny homes often have in order to maximize space.
A ribbon window runs the length of the house, letting in breathtaking views of nature.
A grill and campfire lure guests into the outdoors.
