I bought 2 Airbnb tiny houses and put them in my yard. It started as an easy way to make extra cash — now it's my primary source of income.
This is an as-told-to essay based on a conversation with Ansel Troy, an Airbnb host and owner of two tiny homes in Oakland, California. It has been edited for length and clarity.and parked it on the side of my home in Oakland, California. Before the tiny house, I had converted my garage into a studio. I had a long-term tenant there already, and getting the tiny house was my attempt to make a little extra income on Airbnb.I'm what you would call a house hacker.
Initially, I wanted the hotel to be a greenhouse. We were in the midst of the pandemic, and everybody was becoming a plant parent. Plants were everywhere.I ultimately decided to not go that route, but there are fake plants throughout the tiny house and planters all over the wall of the bathtub. I wanted to make it something special when people opened the door and have it be a photo opportunity.
