Backcountry Tiny Homes’ Scandi Inn packs comfort and storage into 270 square feet

Backcountry Tiny Homes’ Scandi Inn leans hard into the part of tiny-house design that matters most once the novelty fades: where everything goes. In 270 square feet, the 24-foot model puts storage and circulation ahead of gimmicks, centering the floor plan around a kitchen with an oven, a four-burner propane cooktop, a sink, a fridge-freezer, generous cabinetry and a pull-out pantry.

That storage-first layout is what makes the Scandi Inn feel ready for daily use rather than occasional weekends. The home sits on a triple-axle trailer, giving the 24-foot build a road-ready footprint, and its Scandinavian-inspired interior uses tongue-and-groove pine and hardwood flooring to create a warm, cabin-like finish. Large windows and an L-shaped sofa keep the living room from feeling boxed in, even as the footprint stays compact.

The sleeping setup also does more with less. The Scandi Inn uses two loft bedrooms, including a main loft above the bathroom with a double bed and a second loft above the living room that is reached by a removable ladder. A 2024 profile described that upper loft as a space that can work as a reading nook or secondary lounge area, which adds another layer of flexibility to a home that already has to multitask at every turn.

The bathroom follows the same logic. Instead of trimming to the bare minimum, Backcountry Tiny Homes included a walk-in shower, flushing toilet, vanity sink and washer-dryer, a combination that pushes the model closer to full-time housing than showroom piece. Backcountry Tiny Homes, a woman-owned carpentry, construction and engineering company in Hampstead, New Hampshire, says its mobile tiny home designs come from years of custom projects and can be adjusted in style, color and rough layout during the design phase.

Pricing places the Scandi Inn in the middle of the tiny-house market’s wide spread. A third-party prefab catalog lists the model at 24 feet long and 8.5 feet wide, with a turnkey price of $110,800, an unfurnished price of $55,400 and a shell price of $107,725. The company also says it offers design, construction and build classes, a sign that its work is aimed at buyers who want a livable home and a clearer path to understanding how these compact builds are put together.

The timing fits the market. Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies said in 2025 that U.S. home sales had fallen to their lowest level in 30 years because of high prices and interest rates, while the National Low Income Housing Coalition said three-quarters of extremely low-income renters were severely cost-burdened. Against that backdrop, the Scandi Inn reads less like a cute small-space concept and more like a practical answer to the pressure for housing that can store, sleep, cook and wash without constant compromise.
