This Vermont Tiny Home Survives Snowstorms While Housing a Family of Four

Tiny homes aren’t always the first choice for families, but Tru Form Tiny’s Urban Park Max makes a pretty compelling case. This custom build, now parked in Vermont, squeezes thoughtful design and plenty of style into its 38 x 10.5-foot footprint.

Inside, the layout feels surprisingly expansive: two cozy nooks for the kids, a total of three beds, and a bright, open living room that flows right into a full kitchen. The kitchen itself is anything but cramped, with generous counter space, sleek cabinetry, and smart upgrades like a WiFi-enabled induction cooktop and touch-to-open fridge. Even the bathroom doesn’t skimp—it’s large enough to house a 36-inch tiled shower, a modern vanity, laundry, and hidden storage.

Because it’s built for Vermont winters, the Urban Park Max is as practical as it is stylish. A reinforced roof handles heavy snow, while a Morao wood-burning stove and supplemental heaters keep the interiors warm and inviting all season long.

With prices starting at $190,000, this family-friendly tiny home shows that small-space living doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort—or beauty.
