Free tiny home rentals are headed to cities across America. Here's what they look like.
Escape homes are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.
They're often used as Airbnb vacation rentals, temporary homes, granny flats, or backyard homes.
Purchasing an Escape home is still cheaper than most rents.
The 276-square-foot "One" model starts at around $50,000, or $315 per month.
The company offers a solar power system so renters can live off-grid.
The homes are also built on wheels, so they can be transported just about anywhere.
Escape's units are legally considered RVs, meaning they're not subject to property tax.
Escape's design inspiration comes from prairie-style cottages in Wisconsin.
This "Vintage" model features a pull-out kitchen table and a private bedroom with LED lighting.
Two of these units are available to rent in the San Francisco Bay Area.
One calls itself the "tiny house in the land of tech giants."
The company's "One" model is listed on Airbnb in Austin, Texas, and Vail, Colorado.
The one-bedroom Colorado home rents for $135 a night, while the three-bedroom Austin version rents for just $75 a night.
The company hopes its free rental program will expand the number of tiny home vacation units nationwide.
