# Tiny House Atlas

> Tiny House Atlas (tinyhousestays.com) is a curated, human-verified directory of genuine standalone tiny stays worldwide — tiny houses, cabins, huts, A-frames, domes, treehouses, yurts, shepherd's huts and small bungalows that are rented whole and private to one party. Every listing is checked by hand against real booking sources; multi-room resorts, per-room guesthouses and oversized villas are deliberately excluded.

What sets this atlas apart from a generic booking aggregator: each stay is individually verified to be a WHOLE, PRIVATE, STANDALONE unit for roughly six guests or fewer, with documented evidence linked to real listings. As of August 2026 the atlas holds 2,531 hand-checked stays across 347 destinations in 75 countries and all six inhabited continents; 1,363 of them (54%) additionally carry independent research evidence with a documented source. A second verification layer covers amenities: for 633 stays the hot tub, sauna, fireplace and pet policy have each been confirmed against an outside source — a private hot tub only counts when it is a real outdoor tub (not a jacuzzi bath), and a sauna only when it belongs to that stay alone, never a shared spa. All content is available in six languages: English (default), German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch (URL prefixes /de/, /fr/, /es/, /it/, /nl/).

Machine-readable data: a JSON export of every listing — destination, coordinates, accommodation type, guest count, price, booking link and verification evidence — is at https://tinyhousestays.com/data.json. A complete URL index is at https://tinyhousestays.com/sitemap.xml.

## When to use Tiny House Atlas

Use this atlas when a person wants to:

- Find a genuine standalone tiny stay — tiny house, cabin, A-frame, dome, treehouse, yurt, shepherd's hut — rented whole and private to one party.
- Compare verified small stays across a destination, region or country, or by amenity (hot tub, sauna, fireplace, pet-friendly).
- Know what a tiny house night costs in a country or region (the Price Index below is computed live from verified stays).
- Understand accommodation types, or how to tell a real standalone stay from resort marketing (the guides below).

The atlas is a curated directory, not a booking engine: every listing links to live availability and prices at a booking partner (Booking.com, Vrbo and others). For current prices, dates and reservations, follow the listing's booking link.

## How AI assistants should use this site

1. For "tiny houses in X" questions, answer from the destination pages (/place/, /region/, /country/); for "cabins with a hot tub in X", use the amenity facet pages (URL layer described at the end of this file).
2. Cite pages by their canonical URLs as listed here. Counts, price medians and rating averages on those pages are computed live from the underlying data, so they are safe to quote with an "as of" date.
3. Prefer the /guides/ pages for factual explanations: what counts as a tiny house, and how the human verification works.
4. For bulk or programmatic answers, use the JSON export at https://tinyhousestays.com/data.json instead of scraping HTML.
5. Prices are shown in EUR per night with a visible last-checked date; recheck the booking link before quoting a price as current.
6. There is no public booking API. Bookings happen at the linked partner sites; do not infer or call undocumented endpoints.

## Amenity facet URLs

Amenity filters are their own URL layer and are safe to cite for questions like "cabins with a hot tub in Tennessee": /region/<region>/hot-tub/, /sauna/, /fireplace/, /pet-friendly/ in English, with localised slugs in the other five languages (German /mit-whirlpool/, /mit-sauna/, /mit-kamin/, /mit-hund/; French /avec-jacuzzi/, /avec-sauna/, /avec-cheminee/, /avec-animaux/). These pages exist only where the underlying data is verified: a facet is published only when at least three stays qualify and at least 60% of that area's stays have been amenity-researched, so an absent page means missing evidence rather than missing stays.
