An Airstream trailer is transformed into a tiny, retro guesthouse

The Airstream guesthouse is parked in the backyard of Erin and Travis’s home. Although the couple made dramatic changes to the interiors, the outside of the trailer—right down to the classic blue stripes—remains untouched.

The inside of the Airstream has been refurbished using salvaged materials that the builder sourced from across the city. The kitchen has a double sink, small cooktop, and a mini fridge and freezer. The rest of the space is taken up by a rustic table and a built-in bench. Want to feel like you’re really back in 1979? Throw on a vinyl from their record collection.

The queen-size bed is tucked away inside one end of the trailer. By framing the nook in dark wood panelling, it makes it feel as if the sleeping area is a room within a room.

Since there wasn’t space for a proper closet or dresser, the builder installed drawers underneath the bed. When the drawers are closed, they blend in seamlessly with the bed frame. What a fantastic use of space!   


After a day of exploring, what better way to relax than with a bubble bath in this gorgeous freestanding tub?

The bathroom wall, door, and sink vanity are all clad in the same rustic wood. The wood-on-wood effect makes it feel like you’re in a cabin. 


In the humid summer months, visitors can rinse off in the outdoor shower located on the front deck.
