  • Many of us dream of leaving the modern world behind and escaping to an idyllic off-the-grid cabin where we can relax, enjoy quiet time and be with nature. In this weeks episode, we meet an inspiring couple who did exactly that, building an amazing cabin by the river.
    At 54 square meters, (850ft2) this small cabin is situated in a stunning location with panoramic views looking over the river and out to the forest beyond. Completely off-the-grid, solar powered and with rain water collection, this cabin is a beautiful and fully functional home.
    From its modern, black exterior through to the warm plywood interior and exceptional views, this cabin is a dream home. Enjoy the full video tour!

    I hope you all enjoy this weeks video! With all the craziness in the world I think there are lots of people right now who are dreaming of escaping to a simple and beautiful off the grid cabin. If you can't escape into nature yourself right now, at least you can escape into this video! With love, Bryce & Rasa

    Ok, this is my new favorite. Large enough to move around, small enough to be easy to maintain. And I love that the mezzanine area is full height, because at my age crawling around on my knees in the loft is not a very good idea. And of course, the setting is beautiful. Gorgeous cabin very well-designed and lovely to look at.

    • @InfernosReaper

      Honestly, any house design that requires a lot of crawling or shuffling things about just to do daily activities is poorly designed. It's good to see tiny home builds like this that actually are built with practicality in mind.

      I also like the spaciousness and nice to have extra room since they’ve got kids that are out the house and might want to come visit. I’m just wondering: how will it work when the do have people staying upstairs when access to the only bathroom is through their own bedroom? That doesn’t seem realistic. It would have been better to have the bathroom separate from the main bedroom like most other small houses.

    • @s-c..

      Maritsa Appollis - pretty sure you can access it from the other side too, there’s a recess next to the vanity that seems to coincide with a door next to the main entrance, to the right of the kitchen.

    Hello Bryce and Rasa my name is Rose and I am 15. I am interested in designing and building a tiny house for when I move out of the house. I kinda already know what I want it to look like. I am planning on designing it this school year and then starting to build it next summer and continue building it over the next few years. I am very new to all this. Do yall think i would need to hire a builder? I do have some family and friends who have some handy talents... my uncle can do electricity and plumbing and my one of my grandpas had a wood working shop, only small stuff like benches and Entertainment centers, my other grandpa builds cars.
    Is there any tips or warnings i should know before I embark on this journey?
    Do yall think I would actually be able to do it?
    I hope you see this!
    Cheers, Rose
    P.S Love your videos!!!

    That's the only gripe I have with other tiny homes, the sleeping area you have to stoop, crawl in & out of the bed, bumping your head in the process.
    The landscaping, septic & water systems, along with the solar panels, were completely thought out in that footprint. Wonderful craftsmanship, btw.👍

      @Kyle P I dunno where you live but in America ALL adults are having a hard time making ends meet. Young ppl turn to tiny homes because it gets them out of debt, they can save, plan and achieve financial security as they grow their families. And old ppl may chose it because maybe they'd rather do a lot more than maintaining a huge home in their golden years. Plus, many ppl have been disenchanted by capitalist consumerism, ppl don't wanna waste their lives stock piling stuff they don't need just so they can keep up with the Joneses. Many ppl would rather teach their kids other valuable lessons besides glutinous consumerism.
      Others still may want a tiny home in order to minimize their footprint because they care about the environment. Some ppl may like the flexibility of being able to locate their homes anywhere they please. The benefits are many and that's why ppl choose to live in tiny homes. That will become apparent to you if you watch more of the videos on this channel.

    What a beautiful, cozy cabin. Love how big the ceiling is so you don’t feel cramped. The loft is so spacious too. Only thing I change is the shower to a full size tub shower since theirs space in there. This is what I want when my kids FINALLY get out and I can just have a beautiful space by the beach.

    I swear Bryce has a list of positive words and phrases he uses in every video!

      But yet it always sounds natural and very sincere. I think Bryce is the best interviewer I've ever seen, and not just tiny house owner interviews. Bryce could interview anyone about anything.

      Bryce is very sincere and you can absolutely tell he loves meeting people and hearing each of their tiny house stories.... Thank you Bryce... From another Kiwi... Piha NZ

      I think ask people to
      View and ‘critique’ their homes is quite tricky and I was just thinking that he is always respectful and kind.

    Maybe all the Karen’s of the world just need an off the grid cabin to chill out

      They don't deserve a tiny house like this. They need an island where all the Karens can roam free, wild, and crazy... What a beautiful sight from 3,000 miles away.

      New idea for a tv show
      Karen Island
      One retail manager/service worker must survive on an island full of Karens.

    One of the most spacious-seeming tiny homes I've seen - including a loft where you can stand up.

      because it is a size of typical apartments ;-)

      Yeah (pun only mildly intended), I think that this style/size would appeal to a much wider audience than the average tiny home.
      It has the square footage of a small apartment, which a lot of people are content with in that context. I think that it's almost.... Habit (?) to assume that houses need to be much bigger.
      Personally, I really like when space is used effectively. So having a ton of wasted space would just annoy me

      My house is including the shed 84 square meters, with a three-bedroom, an attic, and a cellar. Very spacious there. Next to the river, would go for this placement though. No close neighbours.
