The Cottages at Pine Lake
Community type: A neighborhood built specifically for tiny homes — THOWs, park models, or cottage courts on dedicated pads or lots.
The Cottages at Pine Lake is a purpose-built tiny-home-on-wheels community on just under 7 acres around a spring-fed lake in the Appalachian foothills east of Huntsville. Residents own their tiny home (often through partner builder Incredible Tiny Homes) and lease a monthly lot (~$300/mo plus utilities and a one-time infrastructure fee). Phases 1 and 2 are built and occupied, with two more phases planned.
