Vacay Rentals!
Inquire / Book your Stay in our Vacay Rentals!
Our Vacay Rentals are beautiful, state-of-the-art, fully off-grid, smart, self-sustainable micro-units, that include a full bathroom and shower, a kitchenette with a mini fridge, a single bed that folds out into a double, integrated heating and cooling, waterless toilet, a water heater, and ample storage.
The unique pod shape utilizes solar and wind energy. The installed solar power is 880 watts of high-efficiency solar cells in order to maximize energy production. The Low-noise wind turbine is delivering up to 750W during the day and night producing electricity 24 hours a day. The unique shape minimizes heat loss but also provides the most important thing for life: Water. Rainwater is collected on the surface, where it’s collected in a water tank and filtered for your convenience. Designed for maximum rainwater collection and greywater recycling.
Stay in remote places out of reach of infrastructure, with the luxury of a hotel room.
It's self-sufficient, practical, and functional as possible with accommodations for one or two people. If you are headed on your next adventure outdoors or just a cozy night in the forest will make anywhere an exciting memorable time!
Join us, book now, and change the world starting with our Vacay Rentals! (Locations to be announced soon!)
