These type of really functional tiny homes & villages are really so great for older folks to keep being independent & being able to stay at their own home. I love it!!! ❤
@erinsmith5837 You could have both, I prefer one story. These are too small to use the second floor as an attic, either. It would just make the walls push out if you put very much up there.
I am addicted to watching these tiny home videos. A few things that i absolutely love… you can truly see one’s potential and how one could allow their mind and creativity to run wild. I Lovei it!
I hope this works out for them, but I'm not so sure a tiny home (scary amount of stairs) was the best solution for their situation. Best of luck to them!
What a unique design. I love the half bath in the upper bedroom. Heck, I love that it has a full upper room! Two decks plus all that storage. It's pretty incredible for a tiny home.
I gotta say, it's very functional. I don't even know this fella, but if he's already taken a fall, I'd be mighty concerned about those stairs to his bedroom!
When I saw the husband carefully trying to sit down at this computer, I thought that this house is already not right for him. The stairs up to the front door is also going to be a problem sooner rather than later.
What a sweet couple and a cute tiny home! I’ve been watching ITH videos for years now and I believe these tiny homes should be in every state. I wish we had an ITH community in CT.
Love your house. Everyone has a style for sure. I saw the house on INCREDIBLE TINY HOMES when it was being built. Im not a fan of thee patina look, but noyhing wrong with it if you enjoy that design. Fabulous idea with a five inch rise on rhe stairs. I have used staurs like that before and it makes such a difference. Were you able to do that inside. I also am a senior and movement and keep walking is so important. I use a walker for walking just to keep stability as I enjoy doing so. I have a bar in my femer to the hip so mobility is very important. Keep moving, do more movement each day , love life ,be happy. You truly are living freedom. 😊 ❤
Having that upstairs bathroom is an important safety feature … it really all depends on their knees, their balance and strength. Having close stairs that they’re comfortable with and having plenty of handholds creates a lot of inherent safety. I do hope there’s a long term plan if the upstairs becomes physically unavailable, but getting the regular exercise of using the stairs should help them maintain.
Great functionality in the mudroom bathroom! Muddy puppy towels and people clothes can get shucked right at entry in a room easier to handle water and more sanitizing chemicals.
I am younger than they are and could do those stairs but the lady appears to be having a lot of mobility issues there & not just on the stairs! I hope they don’t find the upstairs sleeping was a big mistake in a year or so. We all get to make decisions for ourselves and good or bad, I will continue to make my own decisions and so should they!
I didn't understand what Ron said about the toilet. Can anyone clarify? And - as a former geriatric social worker, if these were my clients, or my parents, I'd be a bit worried about them living like this. The tiny home is too tiny for them to have room to manoeuvre around all that they have in the way. And as for either of them navigating those stairs - it makes my heart skip a beat. Fact: about half of seniors who fall and break a hip die. Yes - it can be fatal for various reasons. I wouldn't recommend this arrangement for seniors who have sensory or mobility problems. But I do wish them all the best, and am glad that they have a community that wraps themselves around them when they need help.
The upstairs toilet has a 'sink' on top of the tank. When you flush, the water that goes to refill the tank, goes through the spigot into the sink first, so you can wash your hands. That water then runs into the tank for the next flush.
Love the house ❤ & the tiny home communities look so peaceful and the home sweet home feeling kuz everyone gets along and comes together like a big family.
This video probably raises more questions than most, specifically about safety and aging in place. And the homes look very crowded on the Prairie at ITH. But I wish them all the best.❤️
I live in a rambler, but having broken my foot a couple of years ago, I can attest to the problems of having stairs because I could not get down the stairs to do my laundry. I'm going tiny, and I will not do anything that requires me to go upstairs, just in case
My husband whom I love and adore snores and farts all night long and I CANNOT sleep with him. Hahhahaha. In about 16 yrs we will have completely raised all our kid's and one of them will inherit this home and we will build a tiny home somewhere on the property. Always looking for ideas for smaller homes with 2 bedrooms. 😂😂😂
@@teresal5553 AVN studio? We're actually thinking about building a A frame. We don't need a lot of living space, just a decent size kitchen because we love to garden and do a lot of canning and I love to cook and bake.
If I were one of their kids, I'd have a home lift installed for them to eradicate the stairs to the upper bedroom. C'mon kids, chip in for it to make Mum & Dad's remaining years easier & safer. 👍
Oh my, getting around the house on a stool on wheels, a bit risky, falls can be a big issue. Still, wishing them well, they seem really lovely, and the adorable dogs are so cute.
It seems bigger, but I noticed the layout is different. The bedrooms and the height of the second floor came at the expense of a smaller kitchen and living room. But very functional
Id like to learn more about The Tiny House community where they live. Im a senior citizen looking to move to the Tennessee area. Is there a link to their community?
The amount of house to keep in a double wide is too much. Keeping up with 2k sq foot is a lot more work than keeping up with a 400 sq ft home. Also, heating and cooling a 2000 sq foot home is way more expensive than a 400 sq ft home.
Definitely would like to know the same. This is seriously a good way for many people to actually live in retirement. The best thing is many of these tiny homes are in actual communities where people seem to care about one another. It’s either this for me or I have to leave the country completely in order to live.
I'm not sure seniors who seem to be in poor health should use so many steps both into their trailer and to a second floor. This creates way too many situations for falling. The females speech belies cardo/respitory issues. The religious visual references are pathetic... (Expecting to depart soon??)
@@saulgoodman2018 Way more common than you think...my husband snores like crazy and is like a furnace...I am a very light sleeper and don't need help with hot flashes either! I have many friends who go through the same thing, so not weird at all.
So the legally blind person is upstairs, that seems a little dangerous long term given in years to come his health will deteroriate to as well as eyesight
These type of really functional tiny homes & villages are really so great for older folks to keep being independent & being able to stay at their own home. I love it!!! ❤
They are sweet, bless their hearts. I am glad there are people who care about them at the tiny home community.
Not having to go up and down stairs to use the restroom is super smart as far as risk reduction goes!
Yes, especially for man at certain age
Yes it is seen 3 others with a bathroom upstairs❤ so happy for them
Think bedroom and bath on main floor is better. Would just go a little wider rather than tall.
@@b_uppyor you could have both😮

There's a stairs elevator which could solve the problem, quite easy to install even on a narrow stairway like this...
A beautiful home for a beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing.
What a sweet couple and a cute tiny home! I’ve been watching ITH videos for years now and I believe these tiny homes should be in every state. I wish we had an ITH community in CT.
I'm sure there are trailer parks in every state
I absolutely love this one I love the porch and the outside mixed terrier and to get inside and see all that this one's my all-time favorite
Gorgeous home that is actually LIVEABLE. I agree with the open shelving in the kitchen. Makes it look more cluttered.
I actually have this home saved from when Randy and Amanda first toured it! I love the layout and it seems much larger than 400sqft.
I really appreciated this video. Getting really old means different adaptations in your home and Alice and Ron have done a great job.

She did mention he has very low vision so it is not a matter of staying in shape

She does not need to go upstairs often. That's why her is downstairs
I guess that they could swap the couch for a daybed in the future if needed. But a daubed is never as comfortable as their couch.
This is beautiful. I love this couple. God bless them ❤
Hallo luitjes, jullie wonen al sinds 1954 in the USA, mooi en gezellig huisje hebben jullie er van gemaakt, groetjes uit Nederland 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻
Wow he’s already fallen and still sleeping upstairs.they need a safer place..
I was just thinking about this house from ITH videos! I love it and it was fun to see what the owner did for furnishings and Decor. Love it!! 😊
Precious people.
Love how everything has a place. Such a great set up!

You could see the wife struggling to get up those stairs in the video. That place looks so dangerous for them.

It has a Biday
Beautiful home and I love how they truly made it work for them! ❤
Oh how I love this house.Beautiful ❤
The cladding on the second story...!!!!
INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!😂
Very cute home& well thought out..😂 Enjoy!❤
Have a happy and memorable years guys! ❤❤
Lovely couple and a beautiful home. Adorable dogs too.
Love the house ❤ & the tiny home communities look so peaceful and the home sweet home feeling kuz everyone gets along and comes together like a big family.
I must say, you guys have a very nice home there. I absolutely live the kitchen.
I absolutely love this tiny home. Perfect for this loving couple. 💞💞💞
One of my fav tiny homes!!!
Jenna, You look incredible, What a amazing house, Love the thought of living in a tiny house
Sweet couple, lovely home 💕
Love your retirement Tiny Home ♥️👏🏽
Beautiful!
Enjoy your good life 🥰
What a beautiful 😍 house I love it very much nice job 👏 🎉God bless you guys
Beautiful small and functional home for a couple, love the ideas of small spaces but not too tiny, copy paste this layout 😊❤️😊
nice home and cute doggies - they are living the life
Sweet couple ❤
It like a tiny mobile home park👍🏽
Those stairs are dangerous!!! Poor guy
Love this house so nice and cozy. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🥰🇺🇸
Beautiful home, best of luck to all of you.
I super love this layout! ❤
2 bathrooms and 2 stories in a tiny, love it. I don't ave that in my traditional 682 sq foot home.
This video probably raises more questions than most, specifically about safety and aging in place. And the homes look very crowded on the Prairie at ITH. But I wish them all the best.❤️
Like the full size loft!
Wish they would do a neighborhood like that in eastern NC

Completely agree with separate homes... Keep them frozen feet to yourself 🥶🥶🥶
It's really like a 2 story house. You climb up one set of stairs to go in and another to go upstairs. Not for me.
If I were one of their kids, I'd have a home lift installed for them to eradicate the stairs to the upper bedroom.

Wholesome.
Problem with this is they are on a rented lot.what happens when they can’t maneuver the stairs?
Nice home!
Greetings from the Netherlands 😊
niicceeeeeee ...

The freezer unit needs to be on the north side.
To each their own.
It seems bigger, but I noticed the layout is different. The bedrooms and the height of the second floor came at the expense of a smaller kitchen and living room. But very functional
As soon as you said this tiny home had a bathroom upstairs, I just knew it was a Randy Jones original.
WAY too much stuff crammed into this tiny house. It would completely stress me out and eliminate the goal of down sizing in my opinion.
Several cute ideas👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
Who manufacturered this home? And who delivered it? I'm looking for a house just like this. Where the loft area has 7ft ceilings. Plz let me know
Wonder how much they paid for it? 2 baths, plus a loft you can actually stand up in.
I'm here for it.
Not a tiny home . Small yes but not tiny.
Id like to learn more about The Tiny House community where they live. Im a senior citizen looking to move to the Tennessee area. Is there a link to their community?
Very nice 🤩
נחמד, עמוס מידי , המקום יכול להראות יותר יפה
Saw that one being build
With their health problems, this is not good for them. A double wide would have been better. Something with just 1 floor.
The amount of house to keep in a double wide is too much.
Keeping up with 2k sq foot is a lot more work than keeping up with a 400 sq ft home.
Also, heating and cooling a 2000 sq foot home is way more expensive than a 400 sq ft home.
@@offairhead a double wide does not have to be 2000 Sq. ft.
@@saulgoodman2018
It is a minimum of 1250 sq feet which is 3 times the size of this home they have and are happy with now.
@@erinsmith5837 Double wide does not have to be 1250 sq. ft.
She said they moved from 1300SF as she could not clean that much
I am looking at Tiny House Villages for myself. What state is this one in? I am visiting Lake Dallas Tiny House Village in 2 weeks.
They said it was in Tennessee, but I don't know what county.
Eastern TN. Town... Of Newport builder is Incredible Tiny Homes. It's in the area north of Pigeon Forge. Beautiful area.
ilike that tiny whit box 1:33 i like to watch it. anyone know can watch it?
Who’s the cute camerman?
Its similar to my house
Looks like a shot gun house, there were many in kentucky
Where is this tiny home located? Lot Rent?
Newport, TN. You can only live there if In Incredible tiny homes builds you a home as they own the property.
How much is the lot rent?
Definitely would like to know the same. This is seriously a good way for many people to actually live in retirement. The best thing is many of these tiny homes are in actual communities where people seem to care about one another. It’s either this for me or I have to leave the country completely in order to live.
Assuming that they are not subleasing the lot, the rent is $200 a month.
Yep.
❤
😊
👍🏾
Missing hand rails? "One Fall That's All"
They have a lot of handrails
Too cluttered but a nice couple.
very nice best of luck nice size and 2 bathrooms wow. Can you advise what something like that would cost
Another recent one in a different channel (with lots of customization, made by another builder) - cost was $160k. The basic model was $105k.
Way too much clutter
I am sorry to say that this house is not suitable for a couple with sight and mobility issues. I don't see them being able to stay there very long.
Lovely space! If you need tips on improving indoor air quality, I'm the expert to consult.
I'm not sure seniors who seem to be in poor health should use so many steps both into their trailer and to a second floor. This creates way too many situations for falling. The females speech belies cardo/respitory issues. The religious visual references are pathetic... (Expecting to depart soon??)
What do you need a tractor for? Knock down a neighbors home? And... Every where I lived I knew my neighbors...just open your mouth and sayhello
Their married, and have separate bedrooms?
Lots of people do. It doesn't mean they have problems, just different sleep patterns or snoring, etc.
@@lindar6151 I never said they have problems. I know that was the norm like 100 years ago.
It's just weird these days.

A glorified trailer park
Yep. Kinda cool. Beats an apartment any day.
Very sad that retirees are FORCED to pretend a tiny 400 sqft box is chic
For the same amount of money, they could live in a condo or a small house. They don’t seem poor to me. Tiny houses are a fad…
they are an elderly couple with health problems, a small house like this will extend the amount of time that they can live independently.
So the legally blind person is upstairs, that seems a little dangerous long term given in years to come his health will deteroriate to as well as eyesight

Why do older married couples usually have separated rooms. They can love each other to pieces but refuse to sleep in the same bedroom 🤣😭
