The Microtel
The Perfect Guest Suite for Your Property
A fully-equipped, single-level tiny home that pays for itself through Airbnb income or adds instant value as a guest casita, ranch quarters, or accessible living space for family.
All-downstairs living • No loft or stairs • Full bathroom & kitchenette • NOAH certified • Fits tight spaces • Move-in ready
Why the Microtel?
The Microtel solves a specific problem: you need living space, but you don't have room for a traditional ADU or the budget for stick-built construction.
At just 16-20 feet long, the Microtel fits where other buildings can't:
- Side yards and narrow lots
- Between existing structures
- Ranch properties with setback restrictions
- Urban parcels with tight zoning
And unlike most tiny homes, there's no loft to climb. Everything's on one level— perfect for older guests, those with mobility concerns, or anyone who prefers not to climb a ladder every night.
BEST USES:
✓ Short-term rental income ($30-48k/year potential)
✓ Ranch hand or caretaker quarters
✓ Aging parent or family suite (accessible design)
✓ Pool house or guest casita
✓ Home office or creative studio
✓ Overflow guest space
With a typical build time of 8-12 weeks and delivery-ready construction, you can have income-generating or family-serving space on your property in under 3 months.
