The tiny-house movement is gaining popularity among millennials.
I recently visited Think Big! A Tiny House Resort , located in the Catskills in upstate New York, about a two-hour drive north of Manhattan, to try out a tiny house myself.
I stayed in a 269-foot-tiny house for three days, and it was more spacious than I thought it would be. There was plenty of storage, and I didn't once bump into furniture or a tight corner. It also made excellent use of windows the open views and streaming light gave the illusion of more space than there actually was.
