Backcountry Tiny Homes

Backcountry Tiny Homes, based in Hampstead, New Hampshire, has been building adventure-ready tiny homes on wheels since 2015. Their mission is simple: create homes that are mobile, durable, and comfortable without forcing clients to sacrifice freedom or style. With national recognition and a strong reputation among THOW owners, they’ve become a trusted choice for those who want homes built for both travel and daily living.

What sets Backcountry apart is flexibility. They know every buyer has different needs and budgets, so they offer each home in three distinct versions: turnkey, unfurnished, and shell. This approach allows clients to decide exactly how much of the build they want completed and how much they’d like to personalize themselves. From finished, move-in ready homes to blank canvases, Backcountry gives you control of the process.

Homes & Features

Backcountry Tiny Homes specializes exclusively in THOWs, offering multiple models and build levels that adapt to how you want to live and build. Whether you’re after a weekend retreat, a full-time residence, or a family-ready design, their homes are crafted to balance mobility with livability.

• Basecamp Models – Compact and efficient designs, perfect for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.
• Timberline Models – Larger THOWs built with lofts, open layouts, and space for families or long-term living.
• Acorn Model – A versatile, customer-favorite design that works equally well for singles, couples, or small families.
• Custom Builds – Homes tailored to your lifestyle, with features like pet-friendly layouts, built-in gear storage, or reading nooks.
• Build Versions – Choose from Turnkey (fully finished and move-in ready), Unfurnished (all essentials complete but with space left for your finishing touches), or Shell (a structurally complete blank canvas, ready for your DIY interior work).

Every model is designed with mobility in mind, keeping weight and towing requirements practical while ensuring the interior feels welcoming and livable. By offering multiple versions, Backcountry helps clients achieve the right balance of cost, customization, and convenience. Their homes aren’t just THOWs — they’re opportunities to create a lifestyle that fits you perfectly.

Workshops & Resources

Backcountry Tiny Homes supports clients beyond the build. Their Hampstead shop welcomes visitors by appointment for tours of in-progress builds, so you can see construction up close. They also offer design consultations, detailed model comparisons, and transparent resources to explain towing, off-grid living, and financing considerations. With approachable guidance and clear communication, they make the process of buying or finishing a THOW less overwhelming and far more exciting. Backcountry Tiny Homes offers more than just models — they offer choices. With turnkey, unfurnished, and shell options available, you have control. Decide how much is handled by the builder and how much you want to create yourself. This flexibility means your THOW can be as budget-conscious or as fully featured as you want it to be.
