We recently bought the 'Hazel' plans from Shaye's Tiny Homes. Both Sheila and Tash were extremely approachable and so generous with their time, passing on invaluable knowledge in the process. Our visits to the workshop in particular provided us with the confidence that we could actually build our own tiny home from Shaye's plans. Thanks so much for everything guys.

We purchased the plans for Hazel 3 years ago after seeing a video online. Since then, we've watched hundreds of tiny house videos and drawn countless floor plans. However, we keep returning to the Hazel design. It seems to have everything we want. After travelling for 4 years, we want to build our own tiny. We contacted Shaye's Tiny Homes because we'd had an issue with the plans. They could not have been more helpful.

There is a world of difference between a "house" and a "home". But Shaye and her incredible team were able to not only navigate, but overcome those differences with an ease of experience and professionalism!
Our Tiny House was a 'Home' right from the beginning, as during he design process (and the build as well) we felt like our requests were heard and respected.
We can't thank Shaye and her team enough for the incredible job they did!
Our little family has been loving our home since 2020, living the off-grid dream!

I loved visiting the tiny homes! Makes me want to have them all in my garden! So better seeing them in person. Thank you for the opportunity to view them. Well worth the trip!

Seven months ago we bought DIY plans for the Hazel Delux design to build it where we live in Spain. We had become in love with the Hazel design since watching the Living Big in a Tiny House video on YouTube and since then wanted to live in our own Tiny House.

The process since then - although tricky at some points for the difficulties in our country where the Tiny House Movement is not as extended - has been wonderful!

Sheila from Shaye's Tiny Homes has been there with us for every doubt we had and encouraged us with all the building processes that we have been sharing at our Instagram account @proyectotiny.

I would say that the mix of the wonderful and deep-thought design from Shaye's Tiny Homes and the professional work from the building company who finally built our Tiny here in Spain, NOMA House (nomahouse.es), made the perfect match.

I am honestly so grateful for the work Shaye's Tiny Homes does inspiring others all around the globe to make their Tiny house dreams a reality. It shows that Shaye herself is in love with tiny houses. She started with herself, and inspired others -from her own family to people from the other side of the world- to do so!

We now want to inspire others as well and keep the tiny house movement growing, also in Spanish-speaking countries where the movement is less spread.

So thank you very much Shaye's Tiny Homes team for everything, and keep doing your amazing work! Hugs from Catalonia, Spain.

Very good service, well support from the team, especially Sheila when I bought the DIY plan. She's down to earth to give me extra miles with all my queries. Strongly recommended!

Dealing with Shaye's Tiny Homes is a pleasure. I love that they allow you to be totally involved in every little detail of the design. Shaye and her team have innovative design and great space saving ideas so its a good idea to choose their already tried and tested plans. Quality is never compromised here. Highly Recommended.

Shaye has helped us immensely with the realization of our tiny house. We were able to visit a couple of her tiny houses to get us started with some inspiration. The design of the Arlo really fitted our needs and formed the base for our layout. After booking in a slot and getting the trailer, Shaye and her team dug into the build and did an amazing job. Her awesome team built the outer shell for us, and we did the fit-out ourselves. None of our (extensive) requests were too much, and we ended up with an awesome place that we’ve called home for the last two-and-a-half years. Thank you Shaye and team!

Shaye built me a new life in my tiny home. We worked so closely on the design and Shaye took such care to understand how my daughter and I lived and what was important to us. She fused our wish list with her ideas and expertise to create a home for us that felt more like home that any house I'd ever lived in. The quality was incredible and Shaye and her team went above and beyond throughout the whole process. If you're after a tiny house with a wow factor Shaye's family biz is your go to!

My house made by Shayes Tiny Homes is absolutely beautiful and have an amazing home feeling. The builders and designers clearly put their effort into individual products, and I thoroughly enjoying living in it. The house has clear artistic vision, which far and above places this company above other Tiny House building companies. It is spacious and lively where I can easily see myself living comfortably for many years.

A few things to note as to why not the full 5 stars:
- Communication was a bit lacking in terms of design choices on their end. While everything they decided was a good choice, there was no consulting with me as the client as to if I wanted those choices.
- Internal paint job leaves a bit to be desired, almost as if they forgot the final coat.
- The build time-frames have no wiggle room if the house needs to take longer. It's always a 12 week build. Therefore meaning if things arent quite ready by final inspection, then you get a house that is missing last minute details. They should allocate 2 extra weeks per build to get the final details right, and to reduce stress of finishing.
- Finally, after receiving the house, I only received information regarding connecting the house to power by myself asking for that information. Basically, I have been asking myself too many 'How do I? ' questions. A little brochure on set up would do wonders that contains tow ball size, power connection options, dimensions and weight of trailer and house etc. The information is there upon request, and they are more than happy to help, but just needs to be more accessible out of the gate.

Overall, these less than positive experiences mentioned are above are easily over shadowed by the positives.

We purchased some plans through Shaye's Tiny Homes and the process was very quick and easy, and Sheila was super helpful with our queries:)
