Colorful, and nicely finished with loads of practical details, including radiantly warm wall and floors, multiple 12-volt outlets, hdmi connection, and spacious kitchen area. By popular demand, builder recently updated with extra long, custom (80") Murphy Sofa, folding out into a Full XL (53"x80"), memory foam bed! Mattress and bedding included.

PV solar panels/battery storage provide extra oomph.  The mechanical systems are super-efficient, and installed by licensed contractors.  The tag-along deck provides extra room for sunset gazing and container gardening. Take a video tour here: https://bit.ly/2jWiCkV

“In 1983, I bought a piece of property in Whitefish, MT.  It had a cabin on it.  11*15 feet, kinda, as it wasn’t quite plumb.  The ‘foundation’ was four rocks, so the place tipped just a bit as you walked from one end to the other.  The term hadn’t been coined yet, but it was a tiny house.  I loved it.  The tiny house movement inspired me to apply my solar, plumbing, carpentry and welding skills to building a fine, functional and fun little home.”
