From the outside, it looks like something out of a fairytale. Tucked at the edge of a quiet forest, the small home seems to almost disappear into the greenery. Its roof and walls are thickly covered in moss, blending seamlessly with the trees around it. To passing hikers, it might be mistaken for an abandoned hut—or the secret home of a forest witch.
But this house is far from abandoned. It’s a fully functioning modern tiny home, lived in and loved by an elderly woman who chose to downsize and reconnect with nature. After retiring, she left the city behind and settled into this unique little dwelling—one that’s not only peaceful, but also surprisingly energy efficient.
The woman who lives in the moss-covered home is in her seventies, with a gentle smile and a quiet strength that reflects the peaceful life she’s built. She shares the space with her two loyal dogs, who spend their days lounging by the wide windows or exploring the forest trails just beyond the door. Together, they’ve created a rhythm that’s slow, simple, and deeply fulfilling—a life where every day begins with birdsong and ends with the soft rustle of trees outside.
