The Smoky Retreat

Sometimes, less truly is more. The Smoky Retreat is designed as the ultimate weekend getaway or guest house. At 20 feet, it is incredibly easy to tow and position on challenging land. We focused the budget on high-end materials rather than square footage — featuring an incredible end-wall entirely made of glass, blurring the lines between the living space and nature. Perfect as an Airbnb rental or an auxiliary dwelling unit.
