# Deceptive Cottage RVs The Escape Cabin by Kelly Davis is a Tiny House on Wheels By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-cabin References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3029935/this-adorable-cabin-has-a-secret-its-actually-an-rv) & [salaarc](http://salaarc.com/architects/) The Escape Cabin is a tiny house on wheels. Due to this unique feature, it is categorized as an RV rather than a house in spite of how it looks. Of course, thanks to its compact size, it is only 14 feet wide with a total floorspace of 400 square feet, it is easily mobile. Inspired by the small lakeside resort called Canoe Bay, the Escape Cabin was born after a number of visitors started asking for their own versions of the carefully constructed cabins. Dan George, the owner, says, "I spent quite a few years figuring out how to put Canoe Bay in a box, so to speak, so we could give it to people." It is designed by architect Kelly Davis of SALA. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Mobile Tiny Houses:** The trend of creating mobile tiny houses like The Escape Cabin is disrupting the traditional housing industry by providing a more mobile option for homeowners. - **RV Redefined:** The trend of categorizing tiny houses on wheels like The Escape Cabin as RVs is disrupting the RV industry by expanding the definition of what an RV can be. - **Resort-inspired Living:** The trend of resort-inspired living like the Canoe Bay resort that inspired The Escape Cabin is disrupting the vacation rental industry by providing more immersive and unique experiences for guests. ### Who This Affects Most - **Housing:** The mobile tiny house trend represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the housing industry by offering a more affordable and mobile option for homeowners. - **RV:** The RV redefined trend represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the RV industry by breaking away from traditional RV design and appealing to a wider audience. - **Vacation Rental:** The resort-inspired living trend represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the vacation rental industry by offering more unique and customized experiences for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cottage-Inspired Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rover-tiny-homes-tulameen.md) - [Enclosed Porch Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-evista-king.md) - [Cottage-Like Luxurious Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-mountain-tiny-villa.md) - [National Park-Inspired Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basecamp-tiny-house.md) - [Compact House Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipper-bnb.md) - [Compact Sustainable Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana.md) - [Spacious Cottage-Like Luxe Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sky.md) - [Flatpack Wooden Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knotty-pine-cabins.md) - [Captivating Modern Prefab Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skali-backcountry-cubiod.md)
