Tumbleweed Tiny House Plans are on sale and these aren’t the teeny-tiny ones that are built on a trailer; these are the ones that fall under the term “cottage.” Both the Enesti (which is the larger of the two) and the Bodega require foundations. The Enesti is quite large compared to its Tumbleweed counterparts at 746 sq. ft. and can be added on to for a total of 843 sq. ft. This is one of my favorite Tumbleweed plans and for a savings of $400 off the plan, it’s quite reasonable in price.
The Bodega plan is one of the smallest “cottage” plans, but it’s quaint and very similar in style to the Enesti. I liken it to being sort of like the Enesti, but miniaturized. Its square footage ranges from 261 sq. ft. to 356 sq. ft. These plans are on sale for $500 off making it a bargain.
Both homes have nice-sized front porches implemented into the plans allowing a person to stretch out their legs when things are feeling a bit cramped. And the loft in the Bodega plan isn’t counted into the square footage – meaning it’s a little larger than the square feet state.
Which Tumbleweed is your favorite?

Bigger is better, right? Amazing deal. Would have been great when I was single, haha!
@Buck Inspire – The owner of Tumbleweed Tiny Houses was single when he started the business, but now he, his wife, and baby live in his tiny home. 🙂
These homes sound so neat. I definitely have to see if there is a vendor in Canada.
@Miss T – I know they sell plans so that if you don’t live near California, they can mail you the plans and details on how to build the house. They might even ship to Canada. 😉
I really like these homes. I’m tempted to purchase an appropriate lot just so I can build one. Do they sit on blocks or a slab? I’m assuming they are connected to standard utilities and have plumbing?
@Hunter – The cottages are designed to lay on a foundation – either slab or raised and as far as I understand it, they would have standard utilities connected to them. These models are just like a house, except small. But, what’s interesting is the financing issue again. Even the Tumbleweed site mentions that homes under a certain square footage have difficulty getting financed. More to come on this topic in another post!
Wonderful post i like it very much, keep up it. I definitely have to see if there is a vendor in Canada.
@Elizabeth -Tuff Sheds is a fairly large company so I would take a guess that they probably serve Canada as well. Good luck!
I would love a little guest house for my mom like this. Our current house doesn’t have enou land to build one though….ah someday.
@First Gen American – These homes would make great “mother-in-law” houses – or homes for retiring parents. But having the available land is a problem even for a small house.
I am buying house plans for a very small house because I liked the exterior, but then I saw a photo on a paint sample paige that looked very much like the house I was considering plans for only I liked it much more. The things I liked were the details and the larger size. Should I still by the original plans for $600 and pay someone extra to tweak it or just have a house built from the photo with the layout of my choice? Ether way how much will it cost to have this done.
