Best Tiny Homes For Sale in Wisconsin

While Wisconsin might not be home to the same number of tiny home builders as states like Washington or Oregon, there are still many good options when it comes to finding tiny homes for sale in Wisconsin. In addition to Wisconsin-based Escape Traveler, buyers also have access to tiny home builders in nearby states like Ohio (or further away, if you want). Due to the nature of most tiny home construction, where homes are built on trailers, individuals can easily buy a tiny house from an out-of-state company and have it shipped to the Badger State. This includes cities like Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Madison

To simplify your search for an affordable, small square footage house, we have created a list of some of the best tiny homes for sale in Wisconsin (both in-state and out-of-state companies). For each builder, we have included information on their location (which can be used when calculating shipping costs), background on their homes and operations, a list of their tiny houses with cost information, and pictures.
