These Tiny Prefab Cabins Can Be Wheeled Into Place to Create Entire Resorts

In a bid to capture the attention of city dwellers looking for a quick country escape, Hurley House, which will supplant the now-defunct Twin Lakes Resort in the Hudson Valley, is installing a series of Scandi-inspired prefabs meant to give guests the feel of a private retreat.

Designed by Moliving, each standalone, 400-square-foot unit is like a hotel suite. At the front is a deck, where an entry leads past a bathroom, into a living area with clerestory windows, and then to a wood-paneled bedroom fronted by a window and doors that open onto a patio with a lakefront view. Sleek interior finishes, like a blend of tile in the bathroom, and wood cladding around the mini bar, give it a refined feel. Rounding out the accommodation is a hot tub positioned to the side. All in, guests can rent their own private-feeling retreat within two hours of New York City.
