Is bigger always better? Not if you’ve been yearning to try a new trend in vacation accommodations: tiny house camping. Opening in July, Petite Retreats’ Tiny House Village in Leavenworth’s Thousand Trails RV Campground (Leavenworth, 20752 Chiwawa Loop Road; 888.503.778; $135/night) boasts dwellings that are smaller than most hotel rooms, yet artfully accommodate a kitchen, flat-screen TV, bathroom, dining area and bedroom in 175–260 square feet. With names and design accents that complement Leavenworth’s Bavarian theme (“Adeline,” for example, features bright blue paint and timber accents), these tiny homes—which sleep from three to five people—prove the old adage: Good things come in small packages.

Winter Isn’t Over Yet
Why now might be the best time to take your kids skiing.
For many avid skiers in the Pacific Northwest, this winter has been a bust. Drier-than-normal conditions and a lack of snow have put a real damper on powder days, lift operations, and access to the mountains. As an avid backcountry skier, I’ve noticed the lean conditions and have not made it a priority to get…

REI brings back guided travel, betting that memories matter more than stuff.
In my household, with two young boys under the age of five, we often have to remind them to take things back. Did you really mean to tell dad that his dinner isn’t good? You might want to take that back. Did your brother deserve to be hit? Let’s rethink that one. Extreme analogies aside,…
