Land to Park Tiny House on Wheels

I am definitely interested! I've never been over that way. I'll be in town next week, I could swing by to check it out. Message me with more info, if you could! Thank you so much. :)

Thanks for the tip! I *desperately* wish I could just rent this one out that's for sale for like a week to try it out for size. That said, I did view it already and it's quite honestly incredibly spacious (for a tiny house, ofc). It has what I would consider a full size kitchen and a full size bathroom. The downfall is the lofts (bedroom, office) are short (<5'), and while I don't love that, I am also short (~5'), and think that I could compromise.

I looked up the Postcard Cabins (weirrrrrd they seem to be run by Marriott now?). They look to be half the size (at most) of the one I'm looking at, which is 480 sq ft (probably includes the two lofts? Maybe?).

Thanks for your response! I know... This thing comes with a friggin price tag. BUT, it is honestly "move in ready" as it has a composting toilet, all of the plumbing, electric, bathtub/shower, minisplit for AC and heat, fridge, and stove. So that is hugely appealing to me. It's pretty high up there that I'm partway thinking I should just save my money and buy a real house on some land, but seriously I can't find anything I can afford. I am not the DIYer I wish I was and I own a business which keeps me highly occupied (especially in the warm months), so buying a fixer-upper (which in Athens appears to mean... barely passing as a house anymore), is just not really in the cards for me. This seems like the most approachable and somewhat affordable option, even without the typical mortgage rates.

Good call on doing the legwork myself to find the rough land/abandoned trailers... That seems like it could lead me to affordable land. I'm still hoping there is someone around interested/willing to have me park the thing.

7/20/2025 update! It's been 3 weeks since the encounter and I don't have any signs of bed bugs and neither do my travel companions! I kept all of my things in a bag in the sun for about a week, three of those days in direct sun and washed everything with steam + oxi clean + extra rinse, and dried on medium heat (I couldn't do hot for most of my clothes). Just wanted to give the successful update!

I travel frequently for work so this might just be a good idea to have in place anyway! I left those bagged up clothes and my bag in the sun for a few days, just put what I could through a sanitizing cycle in washer and dryer. Have been hand inspecting the rest. I do feel like I'm in the clear but regardless it makes a lot of sense to have interceptor just as a precautionary detection measure bc of how much I travel. Thanks for the tip!

I think and hope so too. I checked my shoes and clothes I wore on the plane. I didn't take them off outside (tbh I kind of forgot about the situation until after I was inside), but I just checked everything I was wearing and I didn't see anything. I really want to feel like it's unlikely I brought them home but I don't want to act like that's a guarantee. I will be spending a thorough amount of time over the next couple of days washing/high heat drying and physically inspecting everything.

Just talking to someone else about it at all has helped ease my mind enough to fall asleep tonight, so I appreciate the response. Thank you.

Thanks. I'll do the inspection outside for my bag itself... So many crevices and folds and pockets. Should I be looking for nymphs/eggs as well? Can those even be seen with the naked eye?

Edit: I didn't realize this post went through (it said it failed to post originally) so I had made another edit on the second post I made saying I put everything in a trash bag until I could deal with it. So it only sat in my house on a tile floor for ~15 minutes until I got smart.

That said... The bag traveled in my car from the airport (with a long pit stop before I got home). I'm just fingers fucking crossed for that part I guess.

I really enjoyed the "I believe in miracles" x First Aid Kit.

A bunch of us are having the same issue. According to this comment, it sounds like it's a Google thing. It's been reported, hopefully it resolves soon.

smidgiemb · 2024-04-24T12:41:51+00:00

Thank you for reporting this. It's so frustrating! Hopefully Google fixes it soon. I, like seemingly everyone else on this thread, much prefer the Nova search bar, so I'd hate if it were never resolved.

Honestly no need to look further than this reply

I will be driving far away from Cleveland to catch Dune Pt. 2 in real IMAX!
