About Tiny Mountain Houses
Tiny Mountain Houses, based in Silverton, Oregon, designs and builds custom tiny house RVs for buyers across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The company positions itself as an alternative to traditional downsizing options, offering compact, livable structures that can serve as a weekend retreat, a nightly rental, a full-time travel home, or even a backyard cottage on a family property. Each unit is built to the ANSI/NFPA 1192 or 1195 travel trailer code, and the company maintains RV certification along with BBB accreditation dating back to 2021.
As a smaller, regionally based builder, Tiny Mountain Houses works directly with clients throughout the design and construction process, offering a degree of flexibility and input that larger manufacturers may not provide. Buyers can choose from a lineup of established floor plans or work with the team on a more custom configuration depending on budget and intended use.
Model Lineup
The company's current model offerings vary in size and layout, giving buyers options depending on whether the home is intended for full-time living, travel, or occasional use:
- Chinook Peak – 22 feet
- Mt. Gabriella – 26 feet
- Denali – 28 feet
- Mt. Rainier – 30 feet
- Columbia II – 40 feet, certified, with a 36-inch entry door and 32-inch pocket doors for accessibility

- Castle Peak – available in 24 and 26 foot versions, with a main floor den that can function as a bedroom or office

Several models include residential-style bathrooms with full-sized showers, linen storage, and washer/dryer hookups, along with kitchen layouts designed to accommodate apartment-sized appliances.
Travel Trailer vs. Park Model Construction
Tiny Mountain Houses builds to both the NFPA/ANSI 1192 and 1195 codes, which cover two different classifications of factory-built tiny homes. A travel trailer, under code 1192, is limited to 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in road height, and a 50 amp electrical system. A park model, under code 1195, can exceed these dimensions and electrical limits. Building to both codes allows the company to offer a wider range of sizes and configurations depending on a buyer's intended use, whether that's a mobile travel home or a more stationary unit placed as a cottage or in-law accommodation on a residential lot.
Because larger units built to the park model code often require specialized transport, including pilot cars and permitted routing, Tiny Mountain Houses handles the logistics of delivery for these units rather than leaving that process to the buyer.
