Just Room Enough Island, New York
Hub Island, also called Just Room Enough Island, is located in the Saint Lawrence River in upstate New York and straddles the international border between Canada and the United States. Just Room Enough Island, the world’s smallest inhabited island, measures a scant 3,300 square feet, which is more than adequate space for a single dwelling, a single tree, and a modest stretch of beach. The Sizeland family bought the island in the 1950s with the intention of using it as a private getaway; however, as soon as word got out, the island was no longer isolated.

Shadowcliff, Lake Michigan
Shadowcliff, an architectural masterpiece by Harry Weese, is a glass cube perched on a cliff above Lake Michigan. A former advisor to Lyndon B. Johnson, Ben W. Heineman, had his own office here built as a getaway. Weese made sure it was built to withstand winds of up to 90 miles per hour, despite its intimidating appearance. The glass floor window overlooking the cliff below is unquestionably the most interesting aspect of this structure.
