THINK TINY, THINK ADVENTURE
Modern TINY (16') Home on Wheels was inspired and built with a desire for minimalism, clean lines and efficiency of space. It has all the modern amenities you need in the midst of Nature. Space is sufficient but limited.
Tiny is located inside "Lone Pine Mobile Oasis" RV PARK, on the west side of HWY 395, and Lubken Canyon. There is Hwy noise and there are neighbors. Semi's do drive the Hwy during the night. Please preview location before booking. We do have WIFI!
The space
Our home is only 16' long (8'x16') but has a well-equipped kitchenette, full bath with a shower and a conventional toilet.
The kitchenette has the basics and then some... a coffee maker, a portable induction cook top, pots and pans, cooking utensils, basic spices and condiments. It also has a Britta water pitcher/ filter for your convenience!
The living / sleeping space is a twin size sofa / daybed with a pull out trundle. The foam mattress size is 38" x 75" for both beds. The top mattress is 8" thick with a weight capacity of 400 lbs and the trundle is 6" thick with a weight capacity of 250 lbs. This may not have enough support or may be uncomfortable for some.
The dining space has a movable coffee table /bench /shoe rack/ storage with locking brakes and a lift up dining table / office desk.
The bench also stores the 2nd comforter for the bottom bed.
TINY is well insulated with Rockwool in all walls, ceiling and floor, has a built in mini split -AC/Heater with remote control, dual pane windows and doors, tinted glass and black out shades for your comfort and enjoyment.
TINY only has 50 amps of power and the on demand water heater requires 50 amps. Only 2 lights are able to be used while taking a hot shower. THE BREAKER MAY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NEED TO BE RESET. (This has not happened in over a year but, just in case)
CAUTION: Things appear smaller than they feel like inside!
Driving up you may think, "OMG, it's so small", but after you step inside, you will hopefully feel, "WOW, it feels bigger than it looks".
The 395 highway may be too close and light sleepers may feel it is still too noisy. Please do not book and leave a bad review if this would bother you.

1 night at TINY in the Eastern Sierra's
This tiny cabin! Absolutely STUNNING view out of the front window. We woke up every morning thinking "wow. We are so lucky." We spent time at Alabama hills after death valley and it was the perfect place to stay! Small and perfect. The wall heater and plug in heater kept us super warm. The shower was super hot and refreshing. We were able to plug in our electric car, too. Jill was so accommodating and answered all of our questions in real time. Such a great place to stay, and such an easy trip to and fro 395.

Overview
About
Rising 680 ft above the dry bed of the Eureka Valley, Eureka Dunes are the largest found in California. Northwest of the world-famous Death Valley National Park, this mountainous sand dune is shrouded by the immense limestone wall of the Last Chance Mountains that rise another 4,000 ft above the valley floor. A strenuous hike through the loose sand, reaching the top of the dunes is no easy task. On dry days a perplexing phenomena occurrs when sand slides down the steepest face of the dunes. In specific conditions the shifting sands will fill the valley with what sounds like the ominous low drone of a pipe organ.
When to go
The best time to visit Eureka Dunes is during the cooler months from late fall to early spring. Summer temperatures can be extreme, making daytime exploration less comfortable. Plan your visit around spring for a chance to see the dunes' endemic wildflowers in bloom.
Know before you go
- Check weather conditions before your visit, as temperatures can soar in summer months.
- Bring plenty of water and sun protection to navigate the arid landscape safely.
- Respect the fragile ecosystem by staying on designated paths and observing wildlife from a distance.
- Remember that off-road vehicle travel is not permitted on the dunes or within the park.
- For a full experience, download the official NPS app for detailed information and maps.
