Twenty feet doesn’t sound like much until you step inside the Kinnakeet. Built by Ohio-based custom tiny home builder Modern Tiny Living, this road-ready dwelling packs a surprising amount of life into a footprint most people would walk past without a second thought.
The Kinnakeet is rooted in one of Modern Tiny Living’s most celebrated designs: the Mohican model, which earned a spot on HGTV’s Journey to the Tiny House Jamboree. While it inherits the Mohican’s clever bones, the Kinnakeet carves out its own identity with a crisp white interior, broad green accents, and dark floors that ground the whole aesthetic. The exterior is wrapped in engineered wood and capped with a metal roof, making it understated, durable, and sharp.

Step inside, and the first thing you notice is the light. The living area is anchored by two large windows that flood the space, paired with a sofa that doubles as a bed for two, with three storage drawers tucked underneath. A folding table doubles as a workspace or dining surface, and a large custom bookcase makes the room feel intentional rather than improvised. The staircase leading up to the loft doesn’t waste a single riser — each step hides a cubbyhole of varying sizes for shoes, books, or whatever you need within reach.
The kitchen is compact but thoughtful, featuring a sink, custom cabinetry, and open space that accommodates additional appliances depending on the owner’s needs. Since the Kinnakeet was originally designed for use as a vacation rental on Airbnb, it skips the full-size appliances found in Modern Tiny Living’s permanent residences — a deliberate choice that keeps the build flexible and the cost accessible.
The bathroom is accessed through a sliding barn-style door off the kitchen and manages to fit in a walk-in shower and a flushing toilet without feeling squeezed. Up the storage staircase, the lofted bedroom fits a double bed with enough room to feel like a proper retreat, even if the ceiling keeps things cozy.
Priced at $79,000 as a starting point, the Kinnakeet is customizable, more or less depending on finishes, appliances, and personal priorities. Whether you’re looking for a full-time downsized lifestyle or a smart vacation rental investment, the Kinnakeet makes a compelling case that 20 feet is more than enough.
