Three meters ceiling height, a floating kitchen unit, panoramic windows with a view of the wild nature: The Tiny House Minimalus in Dessighofen is designed in such a way that the term "tiny" does not immediately come to mind. Here in the Rhein-Lahn district, nature-loving minimalists will find a lot of comfort in a small space. Outside, the treetops of the old oak trees sway gently in the wind, occasionally rabbits hop by, and deer also graze peacefully on the large property, which is embedded in a green valley. The perfect nature experience is rounded off by the happy chirping of birds and the gentle chirping of crickets: in Minimalus you can retreat, escape from everyday life and arrive at yourself and a new, simpler, but still comfortable attitude to life.

Host Marius built the house entirely himself, with the support of family and friends. "The idea of making sustainable living possible with innovative design in a small space has fascinated me for a long time, which is why I decided to study sustainable construction. As part of my master's thesis, my first tiny house was built in my parents' garden, and just two years later the slightly larger house here in Dessighofen was ready. By renting out my houses, I want to give my guests the opportunity to get to know life in a tiny house and get them excited about the topics of sustainability, regional products and minimalism," says Marius.

The light-flooded, minimalist-chic and yet cozy house consists of ecological, recyclable building materials, which the host Marius has cleverly combined with used elements. The glazed sleeping loft on the upper floor with a view of nature is one of the highlights. The living room with fully equipped kitchen and open dining area also appears spacious and airy thanks to the large windows. In addition to the daylight bathroom, there is also an outdoor bathroom.
