There is so much to love about this craftsman style houseboat located in Seattle, Washington.

This gorgeous floating tiny house is located just off Westlake Avenue, and has the best of both worlds, with its tiny house design and it's a houseboat too. The charming small cottage plan was built in 2010, this tiny house is significantly larger than a lot of houseboats that you'll find, but it's still relatively small at 728 square feet but has all the comforts of home to include a kitchen, living room, and room to sleep at least four people. One of the biggest drawbacks is that it's not docked at a liveaboard slip, so it has to be used as a vacation getaway, not as a full-time home design.

The small cottage plan has a cozy living area that feels bigger than it is thanks to the vaulted, cathedral ceiling, and stays cozy with the propane fireplace which heats the tiny home.

Above the living room, there is a loft that provides a space for spare beds, or a cozy library or another nook. If you want more privacy, the master bedroom has a built-in queen Murphy bed along with plenty of built-in storage, to include shelves and a bureau, and the room opens up to a small outdoor deck. The spacious loft is great for the kids or when you have guests come to stay.
