Do you remember the really cool 13-ft. tiny house on wheels with the unique skylit shower from Comak Tiny Homes? Well, they just built a 16-foot version of the Mountain model, appropriately named “Mountain XL.”

This one has larger bathroom space and additional storage areas, but all the same beautiful handiwork! Oh, and that amazing loft with a skylight perfect for stargazing.

The Mountain XL Unique THOW with Skylight & Balcony

I love the way the countertop continues

Is this the most compact THOW kitchen?

There’s a comfy couch

Room for coffee and an Instant Pot

Another skylight over the sink

The backlighting at night looks lovely.

Here’s the shower, with tons of headroom.

Flush toilet

The towel bar under the sink is creative.

They even fit in a mudroom!

Closet, and storage for laundry.

Giant skylight over the bed.

I love the “Mountain” shape on the exterior.

    I like it, gives me some ideas for building a 12X16 cabin in the backyard. I like the outside porch at the top, a great place to relax and read a book. Small kitchen but all you need.

    So much to like here! Very unique — love the lighting, the huge skylight in bedroom and more.
    I would want a slightly larger kitchen — also love the very different exterior — has personality!!!

    You have to move the closet every time to take a shower? No way!

      Hmmm. . .it does look like you have to roll the cabinet back to get to the shower. Wonder how easily it rolls?

        Should be easy, it has the sliding barn door style rail mount against the wall and caster wheels below it…

    Well, except for the question about shower access, this is a very cleverly designed house. Having lived in very tiny houses for 10 years now, I can tell you that you need a heck of a lot more prepping space in the kitchen, even a slender 8″ or 10″ wide counter connecting the sink area with the coffee area, just somewhere to sit a bowl or plate while you’re prepping. Otherwise, it’s a really lovely and cleverly designed tiny house. I love that length.

      I take over my entire kitchen every time I cook, haha. I don’t think I could make do with this amount of counter space, although I don’t have much more than my 2×3 foot island.

      The open space between sink and microwave area could have a drop down shelf for added prep area or hidden work space.
      I say be very careful working with sink. There appears little protection for the sofa from splashed or sprayed water. I may need to choose smaller sofa or hang shower curtain between the two:-)

    Re: rolling closet versus shower. If you look at all the pictures after you read comments, it certainly looks as though the closet has to be moved every time you shower. If there are 2 of you living there, if someone wants to get into the kitchen for another cup of coffee, or start a meal prep, or whatever….too bad…you have to wait. Odd set-up, but certainly doable. And the only access to the balcony is an outdoor 8’ ladder? And you want to take a book and/or coffee ? Let me know how that works out for you. 😉

      (chuckle) Needs a dumbwaiter for the coffee/book!
      Dumbwaiter
      A dumbwaiter is a small freight elevator or lift intended to carry food. Dumbwaiters found within modern structures, including both commercial, public and private buildings, are often connected between multiple floors. When installed in restaurants, schools, hospitals, retirement homes or in private homes, the lifts generally terminate in a kitchen.

        @Husabergchamp – The winch type people adopt to create that feature for tree houses, etc. would be ideal and could easily be added… People have even done it for regular balconies to do things like lift a bike up there without needing to carry it through the home…

      Access to the balcony would normally be via the loft and through the skylight for rooftop access…

      While if you compare this to the original 13′ model, they doubled the size of the living room space. So the trade off benefit for the sliding section is comfy seating area and room for more than one person… Original just had a single comfy chair in that space…

      The stair/ladder is mainly just for the loft and they have an alternate option of a fold flat against the wall stair/ladder you can see on their Instagram page…
