The Tiny “Just Enough Room” Island
This island is called “Just Enough Room” because it has just enough space for a tree, a small yard, and a house. It is part of the famous Thousand Islands, located in the Saint Lawrence River, which is at the Canada-US border. The Sizeland family built the house on this tiny island in the 1950s.
The island is special because it has no traffic, no noisy neighbours, and no loud sounds at night – a peaceful place to live. After people heard about this unique little house, many tourists and the media came by boat to visit the island. It’s a great example of how small spaces can still be beautiful and functional!
