I stayed in a tiny house, and it made me want to throw out everything I own

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge fan of the tiny house trend that's currently sweeping the globe.

From shows like "Tiny House Hunters" to blogs and social media accounts of those who have taken the life-simplifying plunge, tiny houses are everywhere, and minimalism has become the buzzword du jour.

But going small is a big commitment, and not one that most people are willing or able to take.

Getaway House, a Boston-based startup that designs and builds 150-square-foot, eco-friendly homes, wants to give everyone a chance to live little. Getaway rents their "tiny houses in the woods" (currently three outside of Boston and three outside of New York City) starting at $99 per night, and aims to give urban professionals the chance to unplug and get a taste of minimalism.

With such a trendy premise and just six houses available for rent, nights at Getaway aren't easy to come by. So when I saw a Saturday in July open up, I booked it immediately.

Here's what it's like to live in a tiny house - at least for a night.
