Spending the night in a sustainable wrap-around house

You’ve probably heard of them before: wrap houses. These are a type of tiny house where you can spend the night. The big difference from regular tiny houses, however, is that wrap houses are very eco-friendly! That’s because a wrap house is made from sustainable materials like wood, cardboard, and flax. During construction, the cardboard is, so to speak, wrapped around a mold and then glued together. Thanks to its 24 layers of cardboard, a Wikkelhouse is very strong and exceptionally well-insulated. The Wikkelhouses consist of several parts and are easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as easy to move. Plus, the cottages look really cute! This makes them the ideal accommodations for vacation parks and campgrounds to welcome guests.

Just like other tiny houses, these “Wikkel” houses are fully equipped and cleverly designed. This means you’ll want for nothing during your stay and can fully enjoy your holiday or weekend getaway. The cabins are generally equipped with a toilet, bathroom, and kitchen. So they’re a lot more luxurious than, say, staying in a glamping tent. Thanks to the use of natural materials, the wrap-around cabins feel very cozy. Depending on the size of the Wikkelhuisje, it can accommodate 2, 4, or even 6 people. And when the weather is nice, you can enjoy breakfast on your own terrace in the morning.

You can also find various wrap-around cabins on Vipio. Below, we’ve put together a selection of 5 charming wrap-around cabins that you can book affordably, safely, and quickly on Vipio.
