6. Private home away from home for two adults (from USD 89)

Get ready for a rush of nostalgia upon entering this tiny cottage at Beacon Hill. Akin to a tavern, this pet-friendly Airbnb is a self-contained unit complete with a well-stocked kitchenette, bedroom loft fitted with a queen bed, and green surrounds.

This tiny house rental in Seattle was remodelled in 1997 to include the usage of recycled materials.

From the comfort of the loft, you can spot the Olympic Mountains when the skies are clear. Because of the steep staircase up to the loft, you must be mobile and young children are not permitted for safety reasons.

9. Minimalist tiny barn

It looks like an old school barn house from the outside, but upon entry, you’ll be greeted by a refreshingly minimalistic furnishing (Marie Kondo would be proud). Positioned very close to downtown Seattle, the freeway, and train, this 300 square-foot (approximately 27.9 square metres) home strikes gold when it comes to location. Named Barn 11, there is a queen bed at the loft accessible by a steep open staircase. The kitchenette is equipped with what you need to serve up a simple meal, but we suggest hitting up the string of restaurants located just a 15-minute walk away. There is a designated parking space for guests as well.
