1. Fun Travel Tiny House destination in Isleton, California

Located in the Delta Bay just 45 minutes south of Sacramento, California lies the new up and coming Tiny House Community: Delta Bay Tiny House Resort. They are the first legal tiny house community in Northern California. Not only is this community trying to attract tiny house dwellers but it’s also a fun travel destination for RV enthusiasts. This community boasts a tent campground complete with a pool. It’s located in the middle of a delta waterway full of marinas for boating adventurers. Escape Traveler has parked one of their models at Delta Bay Tiny House Resort for visitors to tour the Escape One Model. The exterior features an eye-catching Japanese technique known as Sho Sugi Ban. It uses a method of burning wood to create a natural sealant against weathering conditions.

The Escape One model offers a model that appeals to a minimalist lifestyle, offering just enough room for the essentials. The light wood interior creates a sense of openness and serenity. Simply adding a folding table with side flaps creates a dining space. The bathroom is just the right size for those looking for a lifestyle of living with less. The highlight of this tiny house is it’s generous use of large windows that maximize on creating a feeling of more space. As well as offering sites for tiny house parking, RV’s, and tent campsites, Delta Bay Tiny House Resort offers park model Tiny House rentals for visitors to enjoy as well.

The owner of Delta Bay Tiny House Resort is creating a community for tiny house dwellers to park for long term use as well as parking for anyone who is living more of a nomadic lifestyle. I discovered Delta Bay Tiny House Resort back in 2017 during a Tiny House Open House event featuring local Tiny House builder Sierra Tiny House in Loomis California. In October Delta Bay Tiny House Resort is hosting a Tiny House open house for anyone interested in the tiny living lifestyle. Directly across the street is a marina for boat lovers to dock their boats and enjoy the extensive waterways of the Delta Bay. The Delta Loop is a complete circle full of attractions centered around water sports.   Stop in at Kokopelli Kayak Rentals for a paddle through the waterways in a kayak.

Or simply drive around the Delta Loop to enjoy the scenery… A short ten minute drive from Delta Bay Tiny House Resort is the quiet little town of Isleton, California. Isleton originated as a thriving town for people that came from China to work in the local trades. Much of the architecture of Isleton is built in the traditional Chinese decor. Through the years the town has experienced economic downfalls, and much of the town is now undergoing renovations to revitalize this small community in the Delta Bay. Spending an afternoon strolling through the streets, I stumbled upon the Mei Wah Beer Room, located right on the main street of Isleton. The owner of this old historical building renovated the whole building, and now offers a fun, funky craft beer tasting experience. Mei Wah means “Beautiful Place.” Formerly an opium den, Chinese brothel, and gambling hall, it now attracts customers in with it’s unique interior and entrance with photos of days gone by… A traditional opium den lounge area for visitors to enjoy and take in the live music offered 3-6 pm. Offering various on tap specialties such as Watermelon Kombucha. Craft beers ranging from Vero Mango, Raspberry Limbic, Peach Perfect, to unique flavors such as Asian Pear Black Currant Gote. Sit back, sip on your flight choices and take in the scene…. Head on over to Pineapple Chinese Restaurant for a fun pineapple-infused dining experience. The menu offers many choices for anyone looking for plant-based options such as Veggie Spring Rolls My favorite is the Pineapple Tofu! Don’t forget to enjoy your fortune at the end!
