The company is known for its impressive [contemporary compact homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivia-summit) and Miss Twain has a more traditional style measuring 20 feet with a [small porch reading area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-tiny-house). As the namesake suggests, the home is named after author Mark Twain as the owner of the house is a long-time fan. The house rests on top of a double-axle trailer and has a red cedar finish before being topped off with an aluminum roof. The aforementioned porch is also small but has room for a chair to enjoy the outdoors -- this also leads right into the living room, which has a coffee table, sofa bed, stove, and table.
