Rover Tiny Homes has introduced its most compact model yet, the Tulameen. Although “smallest” is relative, as it remains a sizable towable residence. The interior is spacious and designed on a single level. Named after a Canadian mountain, the Tulameen is built on a triple-axle trailer and measures 36 ft (10 m) in length. Its increased width of 10.5 ft (3.2 m) necessitates a permit for towing on public roads in the US. While it is on the larger side, it doesn’t reach the size of some of the largest models available, such as the 45-ft-long .

The exterior of the tiny house stands out from typical designs, drawing inspiration from traditional Cape Cod architecture. It is adorned with cedar shakes cladding, which gives it a classic and rustic appearance, complemented by an asphalt roof. The structure is further enhanced with three decorative dormers that add both aesthetic appeal and a touch of elegance. For accessibility, the house includes a main entrance as well as a secondary entrance through a covered porch, offering a welcoming transition into the interior.
Upon entering through the covered porch, you are greeted by the cozy living room. This space is thoughtfully arranged with a small sofa and a chair, providing comfortable seating options. A coffee table completes the setup, making it an inviting area for relaxation or socializing. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, efficiently designed to maximize functionality within a compact space. Despite its size, the kitchen is well-equipped, featuring a refrigerator/freezer, an oven with a propane-powered four-burner stove, and a sink. It also offers ample cabinetry.
The bathroom of the Tulameen is located further inside the home, strategically positioned next to the secondary entrance. This thoughtful placement allows for easy access from both the inside and outside. The bathroom is complemented by a nearby laundry area, which is equipped with a washer and dryer. Inside the bathroom, you’ll find a well-appointed shower, a vanity sink that adds both functionality and style, and a traditional flushing toilet.
On the opposite end of the tiny house from the living room is the bedroom. Thanks to the single-level layout of the Tulameen, the bedroom boasts ample headroom, allowing residents to stand upright comfortably, which is a luxury not always available in tiny homes. The bedroom is furnished with a cozy double bed. There is some cleverly integrated storage space, and the bedroom’s design emphasizes spaciousness, making it feel quite roomy and spacious for a tiny home.
The Tulameen is specifically crafted to endure the harsh conditions of a Canadian winter, featuring superior insulation to retain warmth effectively. To maintain a comfortable indoor climate, it is equipped with electric heaters and a mini-split air-conditioning system, ensuring warmth and coziness even during the coldest months. Power is supplied through a standard RV-style hookup, making it convenient and easy to connect. This impressive tiny home is currently available for purchase for US$118,000.
