A couple hosts guests at a tiny glass Airbnb in Georgia that went viral on TikTok.
The 80-square-foot home is located just south of Atlanta on a 132-acre property filled with wildlife.

Tiny-home living isn't for everyone, as Rachel and Parker Boice know firsthand.

In 2017, the Georgia-based couple bought a 275-square-foot tiny house on wheels that they intended to live in full-time with their daughter. Unfortunately, Rachel said, raising their daughter, who was 1 at the time but "extremely loud," wasn't as easy as they thought it would be in such a small space.

Simply put, "it didn't work out," she said. But instead of selling the property off completely, the couple put it up for rent on Airbnb, where it quickly became a hit.

Inspired by the success of their first Airbnb, the couple decided to pursue a new rental venture: building a tiny house made almost entirely of glass so guests could sleep under the stars. Take a look.

The couple initially hired a tiny-house contractor to build the glass structure. But they ended up needing to finish it themselves, which took five months.

The couple did have some help from friends and family, who took turns staying at the Airbnb to give them feedback before they opened up for guests, Rachel said.

Interest in the tiny glass home dipped slightly over the last summer but surged massively after Rachel posted a tour of the Airbnb on TikTok.

As rustic as the house is, Rachel said it's well-prepared to provide a comfortable experience year-round.

The tiny glass house also comes with an outhouse with a composting toilet that doesn't smell if used correctly, Rachel said.

In order to enjoy the hot tub, guests need to know how to light a fire.

A hot meal also requires guests to get hands-on and start a fire, which Rachel admits isn't an easy task for everyone.

During the day, Rachel encourages guests to explore the surrounding property, which is filled with wildlife, hiking trails, and "beautiful" creeks.

Ultimately, Rachel said she and her husband designed the tiny glass house to give others a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
