Taking its slogan to heart, Dunkin' -- formerly Dunkin' Donuts -- is now offering a tiny home installation available for rent on Airbnb for just $10 per night. Known officially as "The Home That Runs on Dunkin’,” this 25-square-foot home was designed by David Latimer, or New Frontier Tiny Homes, and features interior design touches from actress Olivia Wilde. The tiny home installation was first displayed in New York but is now set in Nahant, Massachusetts and offers guests a view of the Atlantic ocean and the Boston skyline.
Guests at the tiny house installation will be able to take advantage of the efficiently designed space, which comes complete with a loft bed, Jacuzzi tub, cedar deck, and strategically placed bags of Dunkin' coffee beans. The house itself runs on a biofuel blend of 80 percent coffee oil extracted by Blue Marble Energy.
