Ever since high school my buddy and I have loved coming up with wild business ideas. We finally decided to sent it and purchase a teardrop with hopes of renting it out! Here is The Forest Cottage in all of her glory. ~Oh la la~

This is a direct look into the galley. She's got a running sink, two burner stove, and fully equipped kitchen.

A perfect weekend escape for you and yours. Oh baby, so cozy!

Juicy shot of the porthole window.

Doin' a little reading. What books would you bring?

They say don't mix friends and business. We say f**k that!

What is a business without a sexy logo huh?

Thanks a billion for checkin' us out! We are stationed out of West Marin in the Bay Area and would love love love to hear your feedback.

EDIT: Daaammmnnn guys!! Thank you so much for all the love <3 Had no idea our post would pop off like this - we'll be back with updates in the near future.

There's no way I'd ever cook where that cooktop is at. I'd set it up on it's own stand away from the trailer. It catches fire, you're F'd.

I don't like the idea of rv camping, but a tear drop seems like the perfect compromise

I like your take on glamping! Keep it up. I'd rather see the tear drop at a campsite than a RV

Plans on expanding outside of California?

We've tossed the idea around - Oregon, Washington, and Colorado have come up in conversation.

I'd add New Mexico. Lots of people come to visit only. Been here over a year and parks are almost always full and the same for hotels

This doesn't "Sponsored" but it's clearly an ad. Good job OP

Just cause it’s an ad doesn’t mean it’s sponsored! But you’re not wrong, I had the same thought.

We have a teardrop. We love it. It’s cake to pull and you can move it into position by hand. Just watch out for inclines

Right on! *fist bump* We love it too, piece of cake to move around.

The one in the pic on this post isn’t ours. We have a t@g by little guy. Same concept though. A bed and a outdoor galley. Tiny and simple

Anywhere else you'd just borrow a friend's camper, or, you know, do real camping.

what's real camping? chasing a wild elk through the woods on all fours sleeping on the ground with nothing but a blanket, going fishing and

foraging for wild edble potatoes and celery and using river water to make a stew using the vegetables you just found and the elk you just

Ya, no, this is 100% an ad. Also, @op, how much money do you make on renting one of these? Do you insure it? What if someone breaks it?

What you guys should really do is revision the teardrop design and let your imaginations run wild. Build em and they will buy them.

How many teardrops do you have in the fleet?

Just the one for now. We plan on acquiring 1-2 more by the start of the summer.

Nice! Yeah keep re-investing and scale up if it keeps being successful! Super cool idea.

Did you buy this and are renting it out? Do you have a bunch of them or just the one?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Exactly. Bought it and are now renting. Just the one as of now - plans are to get 1-2 more in the near future.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Where did you buy it?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

As someone who helps manage rental property... Be careful! You wouldn't believe how little people care when they don't own it.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Check to see if you can find insurance for these things in case they get stolen or destroyed. Hopefully it won't break the bank.
