Wolf modular homes are designed to flex with real life, whether you need a compact Tiny Home (Model B or K), a detached ADU or DADU (Models E, F, J, or L), or a full-time primary home (Models J, L, or I). Homeowners choose Wolf for guest homes, backyard cottages, cabins, and long-term or short-term rentals, plus practical solutions like multi-generational living, aging-in-place layouts, on-property housing for adult children, and hardship housing when life changes fast. If speed and flexibility matter most, select models (B, K, F, and E) can be built on a trailer for a quicker path to ownership, with the option to move to a permanent foundation later. And when you are thinking bigger, Wolf can scale the same proven modular approach into multi-unit developments like cottage clusters, quadplexes, rental cabin communities, senior housing duplexes, and mission-driven housing with nonprofits.
With over 600 houses built, Wolf has dozens of different case studies of real-world customer use of Wolf homes. Click below to see our collection of case studies featuring real Wolf builds.
Wolf Model B (available for Portland projects only) and Model K can both be used as true tiny homes on permanent foundations, giving you the simplicity of a smaller footprint with the feel of a real, finished home. Whether you are adding a backyard cottage, creating on-property housing for family, or building a small long-term rental, these models are a smart fit when you want a compact home that is fully set, connected, and ready for everyday living. Placed on a foundation, you get the stability and longevity of a fixed-site build, plus a clean path through standard site planning, utility hookups, and final setup so your tiny home lives like it was always meant to be there.

Wolf Model B and Model K can also be built as tiny homes on trailers for customers who want the fastest, most flexible path to a Wolf home. A trailer-based setup can reduce site complexity up front since you may be able to avoid full foundation work and, in some cases, simplify permitting depending on where you plan to place it. It is a great option for anyone who wants a backyard tiny home, a temporary living solution during a larger build, a moveable rental, or the freedom to relocate if plans change. And if you decide later that you want a permanent setup, a tiny home on wheels can still be moved onto a foundation down the road.

All Wolf Home models can all be placed on permanent foundations as accessory dwelling units as long as they meet size requirements for the jurisdiction, giving homeowners a high-quality way to add living space without changing what they love about their property. These ADU-ready options work for everything from guest suites and backyard cottages to long-term rentals, home offices, and multi-generational living, including a comfortable on-property home for aging parents or adult children. With a foundation-based ADU, you get the stability and long-term value of a fixed-site home, along with a clear path for site planning, utility connections, and final setup so the new space functions like a natural extension of your property from day one.

Wolf Models B, K, E, and F can also be built as ADUs on trailers for homeowners who want more flexibility and a faster path to adding space on their property. Because a trailer-based unit can reduce or eliminate foundation work up front and may simplify the setup process, it is often a great fit for temporary housing during a remodel, a flexible guest suite, on-property housing for family, or a rental strategy that you can adapt over time. This option is especially appealing if you are not ready to commit to a permanent location on your lot, or if you want the ability to relocate the home in the future. And if your needs change, these trailer-based models can still be moved onto a permanent foundation later.

Wolf homes are a popular choice for detached ADUs because they let you add a complete, independent living space to your property without having to attach an addition to your main home. All Wolf Home models can all be used as detached ADUs as long as they meet the jurisdiction size limits, making it easy to create a private backyard home for family, guests, or renters while preserving separation, quiet, and everyday functionality for both households. Detached ADUs are ideal for multi-generational living, aging-in-place support, on-property housing for adult children, and rental income, all while keeping your existing home just the way it is. With a detached layout, you gain flexibility in where the home sits on your lot, plus a clean, purpose-built footprint that feels like a real home from the moment it is set and ready to live in.

Wolf homes make excellent backyard cottages because they add a comfortable, private living space that feels intentional, not temporary. All Wolf Home models that fit within jurisdiction size limits can be used as backyard cottages, giving you a range of sizes and layouts depending on whether you want a cozy guest retreat, a quiet home office, a place for family to live close by, or a small rental that helps your property work harder. A backyard cottage is an easy way to turn underused space into something valuable, while keeping the main home separate and maintaining privacy for everyone. The result is a finished, stand-alone cottage that fits naturally into your property and supports how you want to live today, and how you might want to use your space in the future.


Wolf homes can also serve as hardship homes when a family needs safe, private housing quickly due to a life change like a medical event, a divorce, a job transition, or a temporary displacement. All Wolf Home models can be used as hardship homes as long as they fit the sizing guidelines for the jurisdiction, this gives options that range from compact, efficient layouts to more spacious designs that better support long-term living. A hardship home can provide stability for a loved one while keeping them close to family support, and it can often transition into a guest house, backyard cottage, or rental later once the immediate need has passed. It is a practical way to create breathing room when circumstances shift, without sacrificing comfort.

Wolf homes are a strong fit for long-term rentals because they give property owners a durable, comfortable home that tenants actually want to live in, while keeping the footprint efficient and the overall project predictable. Any Wolf model that fits your jurisdiction’s size limits can be used as a long-term rental, whether that is a compact backyard unit, a detached ADU, or a small primary home built for year-round living. Long-term rentals are a smart way to create steady monthly income, add value to your property, and support local housing needs with a well-built home that holds up over time. And if your goals change later, many rental-focused setups can shift into housing for family, a guest home, or an aging-in-place option without starting over.

Wolf homes can also be used as short-term rentals when you want a high-quality, guest-ready space that stands out in a crowded market. Any Wolf model that fits your jurisdiction’s size limits can be used as a short-term rental as long as local rules allow short-term renting, giving you flexibility to choose the right layout for your property, your guest experience, and your revenue goals. Short-term rentals are a popular option for vacation areas, accessory units on existing properties, and owners who want to generate seasonal income while keeping the home available for friends and family at other times. With a well-designed Wolf home, guests get the comfort of a real home, and you get an asset that can easily transition into a long-term rental, guest house, or family housing if regulations or plans change.

Wolf homes are an ideal solution for multi-generational living because they let families stay close without giving up privacy, independence, or everyday comfort. Any Wolf model that fits your jurisdiction’s size limits can be used as a second home on your property, making it possible to create a dedicated space for parents, grandparents, adult children, or returning family members while keeping clear separation between households. This setup can support aging in place, provide extra help with childcare, and reduce the stress and cost of finding housing nearby, all while keeping family connected. And because the home is a fully livable space, it can evolve with your needs over time, shifting from family housing to a guest home or rental later if your situation changes.

Wolf homes are a practical, comfortable option for aging in place because they allow seniors to live close to family support while maintaining independence in a space designed for everyday ease. Any Wolf model that fits your jurisdiction’s size limits can be used as a second home for aging in place, whether that means a compact cottage-style layout or a larger plan with extra room for visitors, caregivers, or hobbies. Adding an on-property home can reduce stairs, simplify daily routines, and keep loved ones nearby without needing a major remodel of the main house. It is also a flexible, future-proof choice, since the same home can later serve as a guest house, rental, or multi-generational living space as your family’s needs evolve.

Wolf homes are a great way to create on-property housing for adult children when you want them close by, but still fully independent. Any Wolf model that fits your jurisdiction’s size limits can be used as a second home, giving your family flexibility to add a comfortable place for a recent graduate, a young professional saving for their own home, or an adult child returning home during a transition. This kind of setup keeps privacy intact for everyone while making it easier to share support, reduce commuting, and stay connected day to day. And when your needs change later, that same home can shift into a guest space, a long-term rental, or an aging-in-place option without having to start from scratch.

Wolf homes can also be used as the ultimate man cave or she shack, a dedicated space on your property that is built for comfort, privacy, and whatever you want to do with it. Our smaller Models B, K, E, and F are especially ideal because they deliver a cozy footprint without sacrificing real-home finishes, making them perfect for a game room, hobby studio, home gym, creative workspace, music room, or a quiet spot to watch the big game and unwind. If you want something larger, any Wolf model can work too, giving you room for a full lounge setup, extra storage, or even a guest-ready space that doubles as a getaway when friends and family visit.

Wolf homes are a smart way to add a dedicated home office, studio, or creative space right on your property, giving you separation from the main house so you can focus, meet with clients, or create without distractions. Our smaller Models B, K, E, and F are especially ideal for this kind of use because they offer an efficient footprint with the comfort and finish of a real building, making them perfect for an office, art studio, photography space, music room, wellness studio, or a quiet workshop for focused work. If you need more room for any Wolf model can be used, letting you design a space that supports how you work now and how you might want to use it in the future.

Wolf homes can also be used as a true flex space, a separate building on your property that can change roles as life changes. Our smaller Models B, K, E, and F are especially ideal for this because they give you a comfortable, finished footprint that can start as a home office, gym, hobby room, or guest space and later transition into an ADU, rental, or on-property housing for family. If you want even more room for multiple uses at once, any Wolf model can be configured as a flex space, giving you the freedom to build something that fits today’s needs while keeping your options open for whatever comes next.


Wolf homes also make an ideal pool house, giving you a comfortable, finished space for hosting, relaxing, and welcoming overnight guests without sending everyone back to the main house. Our smaller Models B, K, E, and F are especially well-suited for this because they offer an efficient footprint that can include everything you need for pool days and gatherings, like a lounge area, a private bathroom, and a place for guests to recharge. If you want a larger setup with more room for entertaining, storage, or extended stays, any Wolf model can be used as a pool house, creating a true backyard destination that adds function, comfort, and value to your property.

Wolf homes can be used as full-time primary residences for homeowners who want a high-quality, efficient home that is built to live in year-round. Models I, J, and L are especially ideal as primary residences because they offer the right balance of space, comfort, and livability while keeping the footprint manageable. Whether you are building on a piece of land you already own or planning a fresh start in a new location, a Wolf primary home can be tailored to how you live, from open living areas to extra bedrooms for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. And if you want something bigger or a different layout, any Wolf model can serve as a primary residence as long as it fits your plans and local requirements.

Wolf homes are a natural fit for cabin living, whether you want a weekend getaway in the woods, a lake retreat, or a year-round place that feels like an escape. Any Wolf model can be used as a cabin home, but Models E, F, J, L, and I are often the go-to choices because they offer comfortable layouts and room to settle in for longer stays while still keeping the overall footprint efficient. A Wolf cabin can be set up as a simple, cozy retreat or outfitted with the features that make it feel like a true home base for family trips, guests, and rental potential. The result is a cabin that delivers the warmth and function you want, without compromising on quality or livability.

Wolf homes are a great fit for vacation properties because they give you a comfortable, real-home experience whether you are there for a long weekend or an extended stay. Any Wolf model can be used as a vacation home, but Models E, F, J, L, and I are often the go-to choices for clients who want a little more space and livability for hosting friends and family. From a mountain getaway to a lake retreat or a place near town for regular escapes, a Wolf vacation home can be designed to match how you actually spend your time, with room to relax, gather, and recharge. And if your plans shift, many vacation homes can also become a short-term rental or a future primary residence without needing to start over.

Wolf homes make excellent beach houses because they give you a bright, comfortable place to land after a day on the coast, with the durability and livability you want for year-round use. Any Wolf model can be used as a beach house, but Models E, F, J, L, and I are often the go-to choices for clients who want more room for guests, gear, and long weekends that turn into full weeks. Whether it is a personal getaway, a family gathering spot, or a home that doubles as a rental when you are not there, a Wolf beach house can be sized and laid out to fit your lifestyle, while still keeping the footprint efficient and practical for coastal properties.

Wolf homes are a proven solution for cottage cluster multi-unit developments because they let developers create a neighborhood feel with multiple smaller homes arranged around shared outdoor space. Any Wolf model can be used for a cottage cluster, but Models F, E, and C are often the go-to choices because they strike a great balance of efficient footprints, livable layouts, and repeatable planning that helps projects move forward smoothly. Cottage clusters are ideal for adding gentle density with privacy and character, whether the goal is long-term rentals, attainable homeownership, workforce housing, or mission-driven housing partnerships. With Wolf, you can scale a consistent, high-quality home design across multiple units while still delivering a warm, community-focused end result.

Wolf homes are also used for duplex projects, offering a smart way to add two efficient residences on one site while keeping the look and feel of a true neighborhood home. The Wolf Model H is our dedicated duplex option, designed to deliver comfortable living in a two-unit layout that works well for long-term rentals, attainable housing, workforce housing, and small infill developments. For larger development needs, we can also build custom duplex options for projects over 7 units, allowing the floor plans, unit mix, and overall layout to match the goals of the site and the jurisdiction requirements.


Wolf homes can also be used for quadplex projects, which are a smart way to add four residences in a single building footprint while still delivering a comfortable, livable feel for each unit. Wolf’s quadplexes are a dedicated custom model that is only available for multi-unit developments, designed specifically to support higher-density housing goals like long-term rentals, workforce housing, and infill projects where efficient land use matters. This approach helps developers add more doors without jumping to an apartment-style build, while maintaining a clean, consistent design that fits well in a neighborhood setting.

Wolf homes can also be used for multi-unit senior housing developments, creating comfortable, efficient residences designed to support daily ease while fostering a sense of community. These senior housing units are a dedicated custom Wolf model that is only available for multi-unit developments, built specifically for projects that need a repeatable, resident-focused layout at scale. This option is a strong fit for developers and partners who want to deliver more senior-friendly housing with a predictable, streamlined approach, while still providing homes that feel warm, private, and livable rather than institutional.

Wolf homes are also used for transitional housing developments with nonprofits, helping organizations create safe, dignified places for people to stabilize and rebuild. We have used Models C, E, F, and H in these projects, but any Wolf model can be considered depending on the site, the program goals, and local requirements. Transitional housing often benefits from flexible unit sizes and repeatable designs that can support multiple residents while keeping operating needs in mind, and Wolf’s modular approach helps make that possible. For larger developments, we can also build custom models for projects over 7 units, allowing nonprofits and partners to tailor unit mixes and layouts to best serve the community they support.

These are just some of the most common ways our clients use Wolf homes, but your options are not limited to this list. If you have a vision that does not fit neatly into a category, tell us anyway.
