The state of Virginia is called the “Birthplace of a Nation" for this is where the first of the permanent English settlements in America was established. Home to popular cities such as Virginia Beach and Richmond, this state has so many great places to visit and things to do, especially since the entire Virginia territory outlines the Atlantic coast, stretching from the Appalachian Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay.

Minimalism and tiny house living are becoming quite popular nowadays, though this design movement officially started sometime in the 1970s. People are attracted to the idea of no-fuss living, which is pretty much a reminder of the world’s simple joys. If you’re keen to try tiny house living, either for a quick retreat or an intimate getaway, start from Virginia where nature is at its best. Read on to know the best tiny houses for rent in Virginia, USA.
