This 26-Foot Tiny House Feels Surprisingly Spacious – Thanks to Smart Layout and Loft Standing Space

Backcountry Tiny Homes has unveiled its newest model, the Honey Bee—a thoughtfully designed tiny home featuring two loft bedrooms, plenty of storage, a full kitchen, and a bathroom.

Measuring 26 feet long by 8.5 feet wide and topping out at 10 feet 5 inches, this house on wheels packs a lot into a small footprint. A primary loft offers standing room, while a wooden ladder leads to a secondary loft. Guests can crash on the main-floor sleeper sofa.

The Honey Bee starts at US$53,300 for a shell, while a turnkey model ready to move in will cost $111,000, excluding taxes.

Honey Bee is a gorgeous 26-foot by 8.5-foot tiny home on a trailer by Backcountry Tiny Homes. It boasts a striking metal and accent lap siding exterior and comes with off-grid water readiness, including space for your pumps, filters, and holding tank.

This tiny home delivers generous dimensions for comfortable everyday living. The maximum height is 10 feet, five inches, while the bathroom height is six feet, six inches.

The stairs in this tiny home are a definite standout. Thoughtfully built-in, they lead to the main loft and double as open cubby storage—perfect for keeping essentials close at hand. On the opposite side, a ladder provides easy access to the secondary loft.

The secondary loft has a generous amount of space for sleeping, storage, or a hobby. There is standing space in the raised bed area and plenty of room for a Queen mattress. The partition wall at the end of the bed is designed for both privacy and safety.

Honey Bee is a warm and welcoming home with carefully chosen materials. The LVP flooring throughout is warm and easy-care. This tiny home also remains cozy and warm year-round, thanks to a mini-split heating and air conditioning unit.

The kitchen is both stylish and functional. It’s sleek and modern, featuring a marble-look laminate countertop, high ceramic tile backsplash, and a ceramic front apron sink complete with a pull-down faucet. You’re also bound to love the 36 inches of open workspace and 12 inches of deep open shelves. Hot water comes courtesy of a tankless gas water heater.

This tiny home feels light, bright, and airy, thanks to dimmable LED ceiling lights and a ceiling fan that keeps air flowing comfortably.

Cook up a storm in the beautiful kitchen with a two-burner gas cooktop and a 24-inch electric oven. The fridge-freezer is also a generous 10 cubic feet in size.

There is plenty of storage space to keep a clutter-free home.

Access to the main bedroom loft has been well thought out. As you enter the loft, there is a standing area that also serves as storage space. There is also a partition wall for privacy.

The main loft comfortably fits a Queen mattress, but could accommodate a King. It also has space allocated for a wardrobe and shelving storage.

A laundry nook in the kitchen area can be useful for storage, off-grid equipment, or even pet accessories. It also has hookups for a washer-dryer.

The bathroom is ideal for everyday living. It comes with a composting toilet, but a plumbed toilet is optional. It also boasts a relaxing 36-inch corner shower with striking vinyl tile walls and a convenient handheld shower head. Adjacent to it is the vanity, which features a drawer for storage. The Honey Bee is a practical home for individuals, couples, and small families who want to embrace the tiny living lifestyle.
