WeeCasa Tiny House Resorts in Lyons, Colorado With 22 Homes

In 2013, a flood devastated the town of Lyons, including the town’s mobile park. The homes were left underwater and unsalvageable, Kenyon Waugh, the CEO and a partial owner of WeeCasa Tiny House Resorts, told Insider.

In the aftermath, the property owner searched for new ways to use the land. Waugh, who lived in Lyons, said he bought into the property and joined the brainstorm.

Waugh, the property owner, and a handful of other partners tossed out ideas for the 10-acre plot. The first idea was to turn part of the land into a wedding venue, which is what half the land is used for today.

The second idea came from Waugh. He suggested transforming the land into a tiny-home village for travelers, he said.

And that’s what they did. In 2015, Waugh and his partners opened WeeCasa Tiny House Resorts with 10 tiny homes on wheels. “We weren’t sure if anyone would come,” Waugh said.

But travelers came, Waugh said, and after a successful first season, WeeCasa added seven more tiny homes. Today, WeeCasa has 22 tiny homes that can be rented starting at $149 a night.

Each home has its own unique design and layout. “They’re all different and that’s what’s nice about them,” Waugh said, adding that the homes purchased by WeeCasa each cost about $100,000. Here’s a closer look inside the resort.

A rusty sign sits on the edge of the road, welcoming visitors to the tiny-house resort and wedding venue.

At the front of the property is a red home that serves as WeeCasa’s office. Here, guests check into the resort and receive a set of keys to their tiny home.

From there, guests can drive to their tiny homes. The village is one large loop and each tiny house is numbered.

As guests explore the village, they’ll spot some tiny homes with porches and others without. They might notice one tiny home with bump-outs while another features large windows. No home in the village looks the same.

Some are larger than others, Waugh said, adding “people want the biggest darn tiny house that you can get.” The Sequoia is one of the largest tiny houses at WeeCasa at 400 square feet. It starts at $229 a night and can sleep six people.

Inside the Sequoia is a warm, wood-filled tiny home. The main floor has a full-size kitchen, a propane fireplace, and a living room with a pull-out couch. Upstairs, there’s a loft with a queen bed and two twin beds.

Outside of the tiny homes is WeeCasa’s main appeal — the outdoors. The property has shared fire pits, picnic tables, and outdoor games.
