Tiny house living often demands tough trade-offs between mobility and livability, but Decathlon Tiny Homes aims to strike an appealing balance with its latest model, the Betty. At 28 feet long, this towable home sits comfortably in the mid-size category, offering enough room for a thoughtfully designed two-person layout without sacrificing the ability to hit the road.
Built on a triple-axle trailer, the Betty features an exterior clad in engineered wood with composite roof shingles — a combination that keeps things durable and low-maintenance. But the real story is what’s inside.

A Kitchen-Centered Layout
The heart of the Betty is its kitchen, which occupies the center of the floor plan and punches well above its weight class. Quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse-style sink, and generous cabinetry — including a sizable pantry — give the space a polished, functional feel. A breakfast bar provides a casual dining spot, while appliances include a microwave, a two-burner induction cooktop, and a fridge/freezer. Practical extras like a reverse-osmosis water filtration system and a garbage disposal round out the package.
Living and Sleeping Spaces
Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room is cozy but well-equipped, with room for a sofa, a mini-split air-conditioning unit, and a bit of additional storage. It’s a modest footprint, but it serves its purpose as a place to unwind. One of Betty’s best features is its ground-floor bedroom, accessed through a sliding barn-style door. Unlike loft bedrooms common in tiny homes, this space offers full standing headroom…a welcome luxury. The room includes a queen bed platform with two large integrated storage drawers, a built-in wardrobe, and generous glazing, including a skylight to flood the room with natural light. A wall-mounted TV completes the setup.
Bathroom and Loft
On the opposite end of the home, a pocket sliding door leads to the bathroom. Inside, residents will find a vanity sink topped with matching black quartz, a stacked washer/dryer, a flushing toilet, and a glass-enclosed shower. The Betty also includes a loft space, though it lacks the egress windows typically required for a legal sleeping area in most jurisdictions. Instead, it’s best suited as a storage zone or hobby room — still a useful addition in a home where every square foot counts.
Pricing
Decathlon Tiny Homes hasn’t released exact pricing for the Betty, but it’s based on the company’s Athena series, which starts at $79,500. For those interested in a closer look, the firm has published a detailed video walkthrough. For couples seeking a compact, well-organized home on wheels, the Betty makes a compelling case that downsizing doesn’t have to mean compromising on comfort or style.
