  Love the layout, kitchen pantry, screened in porch, and that the house is in the woods.
  Just like in our home, I would have put in an apartment size stove and frig and use that extra space for the pantry. I do canning and make homemade breads/pasta. It needs a movevable island/kitchen table for me to work on.
  And it needs a bathtub.

  I want to move in tomorrow. Carol and I have the same request in the bathtub however it looks like one could fit in. Wonder what the cost is.

  I’ve been in this model, and I must say it was very comfortable and livable, besides aesthetically pleasing. I agree with Carol that an apartment-size stove and refrigerator would have been a better option.

  So, where did the extra 8 sq feet come in?

    This one is a 6″ inches longer… 14′ x 28’=392 but 14′ x 28′ 6″ = 399 or 400…

    Park models just have to be 400 Sq Ft or less and that’s based on the interior living space. So they can leverage things like the porch before needing to change things like the trailer chassis to allow for more significant changes…

      Ah, didn’t realise that it had been changed. Was totally aware of the 400 sq ft rule. Now, when is the US going to catch up with the rest of the world and metricate? So much easier to use and measure. Yeah, yeah, I know, never going to happen… 🤐

  summer in a 4o’ park model with two large slide outs and love it – the apartment size stove would be fine but a full size refrigerator is a must since I don’t want to run to the store ( half an hr away) all the time. I have neutral walls (not wood) and find it much easier to hang pictures so dry wall would be fine for me – we have a hide a bed couch in the lr for when company comes or when one of us can’t sleep/sick/snoring so that works for us

  $114,000 is way out of my price range. I thought the idea of tiny houses was so people could finally afford housing and be free of horrible mortgages, but it seems the tiny house movement has jumped on the greed bandwagon. I guess I’ll just be homeless. Every single time an idea comes forth that can truly help people, it is gradually evolves into something that the people can’t afford.

  Its an affordable price. It’s not about greed whatsoever, construction and material costs are high, it’s a reality designers and builders cannot escape, no pun. To create the needs and wants in a small building takes a lot of thought and passion. The cost of any tiny home in the range of $40,000 to $180,000 is more than affordable geared towards the average and below average incomes, especially in extreme high residential costs.

  How much would it cost to build something like this by todays current material prices? Minue the property. Just the cabin. I did not see any closet space in this cabin. Perhaps I missed it. Thank you.
