Homeowning is a goal that has been drilled into us since diapers. While the days of wanting "The American Dream" is completely dead, this is one of the ideas that stuck with us. We still drive for a home of our own, with or without the white picket fence. These days, millennials are finding innovative ways to buy and sell homes that won't put us in the debt holes of our predecessors. The most affordable houses in Georgia are actually tiny houses.  

Little River Escape is a tucked away 50-acre private community just for tiny house owners.
