Backcountry Tiny Homes’ Retirement Retreat blends clever design and expanded dimensions to create a tiny house that feels more like a cozy, well-appointed apartment than a typical towable home.
- 38 ft long and 10 ft wide for spacious interior
- Apartment-style kitchen and dual sleeping areas
- Available turnkey, unfurnished, or as a shell
What happened
Backcountry Tiny Homes has introduced the Retirement Retreat, a tiny house designed for comfort and functionality. Unlike the typical narrow tiny homes, this one expands to 10 feet in width on a triple-axle gooseneck trailer. The wider frame means it requires special permits to tow but allows for a more practical and spacious floor plan.
The exterior combines metal with knotty cedar lumber, topped with a metal roof, while the interior mixes painted board and batten walls with pine ceilings and both hardwood and vinyl floors. The layout includes a large living room with a wood-burning stove, a galley kitchen with modern appliances and a breakfast bar, plus bathroom and laundry spaces designed for everyday convenience.
Why it feels good
The extra width opens up room for a kitchen and living area that feel less confined than most tiny houses, delivering a more open, apartment-like ambiance. Thoughtful attention is paid to storage with built-in cabinetry, storage steps, and well-appointed kitchen spaces that ensure functionality within compact surroundings.
Sleeping areas include a main bedroom with a king-sized bed and built-in storage, accessible by steps that integrate even more storage. A secondary loft space offers flexible use as a guest room or hangout area. This mix of practical design elements helps create a comfortable living environment that balances cozy charm with everyday livability.
What to enjoy or watch next
The Retirement Retreat is offered in three configurations: fully turnkey starting at $202,950, unfurnished from $186,575, or as an unfinished shell priced at $91,380. Delivery is available across the U.S. and internationally, making this an appealing option for those seeking extra space in a tiny home without sacrificing comfort.
