If Seattle brings the hit movie, Sleepless in Seattle, to mind, you are not alone. This small-ish city feels like a metropolitan and attracts city folk, outdoor enthusiasts, and artistic hipsters alike. Located on the Pacific Northwest, there is nothing quite like Seattle. It hosts more than 100 festivals a year, is blessed with ecological diversity, and attracts high-tech companies (and their techies) just like bees get attracted to honey. If you are looking to visit this beautiful city, might we interest you to ditch your usual choices of hotels for tiny homes instead? Check out these top Airbnb tiny houses in Seattle, Washington.

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.

10. 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.
