WHISPERING Aspen Village is a stunning tiny home community located among the ski slopes of Colorado.

Open for both long-term and short-term stays, guests have three different living arrangements to choose from.

Whispering Aspen Village is a tiny home community for both full-time and part-time residents in Colorado.

Located in the upmarket ski district of Fairplay, residents and guests can enjoy some of the best slopes in the country at the nearby Breckenridge resort.

There are three different living arrangements available at Whispering Aspen Village.

There are 20 cabins, unique tiny houses on wheels, and several RVs.

Whispering Aspen Village in fact builds its own tiny homes.

These can be purchased with a plot of land on the site as a package deal.

For a short-term stay, the tiny homes can be found on Airbnb for around $140 a night.

As well as the skiing opportunities nearby, Whispering Aspen Village has its own clubhouse, boasting a game room with a pool table and foosball.

In the summer, guests can enjoy hot tubs, a tennis court, and horseback riding trails.

As the tiny home movement grows in popularity, communities like Whispering Aspen Village are cropping up all over the US.

One of the most well-known tiny home villages in the country is Acony Bell in Mills River, North Carolina.

Each home in the village is unique, as residents bring their own houses to settle on a $550-a-month plot.

That fee includes bills like water, sewage, recycling, and common area maintenance.

There’s a peaceful community garden with a chicken coop and edible blueberry plants.

Situated among the Blue Ridge mountains, residents at Acony Bell have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings with hiking trails, mountain biking paths, and fly-fishing lakes.

“This is, we feel, a better option for a lot of people who wanna have their own space and still be able to live within a reasonable means,” said community owner Mark in a video for the YouTube channel Tiny House Giant Journey.

Other tiny home communities have been built with a specific social purpose.

In Austin, Texas, Mobile Loaves and Fishes is a village of 328 tiny homes for formerly homeless residents.

And rent is free for veterans at one inspiring community in Kansas City, Missouri.
