Sugar Magnolia Tiny Cabin for a Simple Living Vacation

As you walk up the lane here at Blue Moon Rising and pass the Phoenix building, Sugar Magnolia comes into view. Themes of river life are woven into the decorative features of both the exterior and interior. A natural stained board and baton were used as exterior trim and cedar decking boards were used for the entrance porch. Inside, as in many other waldens, heart pine has been used for both the floor and trim work accenting the straw plaster finish on the walls.

Nice use of space. It looks comfortable for a short vacation.
Is there a bathroom behind the ladder?
The bathroom is to the right (as you look at it in the photos) of the downstairs bedroom. Confirmation by picture outside back of the house shows vent on left hand side of picture which equates to right hand side as you see from inside.
OK, maybe, for a getaway place but, I like to lounge around on a couch and there isn’t one, and doesn’t really appear to be the space to include one due to the layout of the construction.
Thanks Paul!
If you only needed one bedroom, you could turn the loft into a lounging/TV area. Or use the loft as a bedroom, move the kitchen into the bedroom area, then the front half would have room for a couch.
I like the idea of moving kitchen/dining to downstairs bedroom and making a living space with a sofa, maybe a pull-down desk. Would love to see the bathroom, though.
I love it. It has that homey/comfy look to it and I love the interior decor. Great place to visit or live.
I agree 🙂
The dinette seats look very uncomfortable. I think I’d replace the entire unit with a small round table & a couple of chairs. I’d also want a couch or even a recliner chair for sitting around.
Good ideas Martha 🙂
Squeeze a small bathtub in there and I’m set!
This is a cabin! To me, the definition of a cabin is: a large portion of the floor space is devoted to sleeping. Also, I like that this cabin is not a little house. Much much simpler. That said… I would find the dinette uncomfortable as I am on the tubby side. If the room were dominated by a table, and a fireplace, that would be wonderful!
love this design. Looks very cozy and with a bedroom on the first floor, will suit us elderly needs. the loft can be for visitors and or storage.
I think I would remove the dinette entirely and find a sofa or love seat to fit in that bump-out space. I would have a coffee table in front of it and use it as a dining table, computer table, etc. I think there are great possibilities for living in this cabin.
I love the idea of a love seat with coffee table in front of it… one of those tables that lift to eating height would be great!
(ps… i accidentally hit the report button… nothing to report but good will!)
As a cabin this is very cute—for full time everyday living–not so much. What others have said plus–that closed in bedroom is adorable for–kids. Not so for us older people with creaks and midnight bathroom needs. IF as it looks the bed is stuffed into the room to the walls changing it would be a challenge too. That could be photo angles tho. Also not a fan of booth type seating–for me not having the ability to do the “side ways shove” means–no booths for me!
Do love the cut out details on the planks around the loft bed–here in the Adirondacks we often see houses and cabins with cut outs on the shutters–pine trees; crescent moons and stars are common.
The one exterior shot has snow. And I scrolled down to see if there was a wood stove just to warm this visually for me. Did I miss it? Don’t think I’d want to get away during the winter time otherwise.
Very Odd Alex…The exterior is one cabin, the interior is another. Can’t change roof pitch and style if you want to fudge the look of the space.
Sorry Bill, but it is one and the same. External pitch is straight but internally it is what we call Dutch Dormer. Pop on over to their website and see. It isn’t the only one like that, also Skyeia cabin is done similarly.
I double checked the windows… they are identical so it isn’t 2 different units. But… in your defence, yeah without doing comparisons it does indeed look that way.

Very nice layout. What I like about the structure is that you can modify the room layout to meet your demands. Sweet!
Great layout! — Tiny House Talk Team
I didn’t see a stove or fridge.
Their website says each cabin has an undercounter fridge and a NuWave cooktop. In this case, I think the fridge is under the counter that extends from the front wall (on your left as you enter), and the cooktop is probably stored in a cabinet.
Adorable!
The exterior design is quite appealing. But there is an enormous amount of “wasted” floor space on the main level because of the way the floor plan works. The photo, looking down from the loft, seems to prove the point that too much floor space is devoted to nothing but circulation.
The kitchen is too small for the size of the unit and the work flow is just plain bad.
Agree with previous posts about the dinette layout. Would be awesome if the benches could move to make a long seating bench or transform into a bed.
Ugh…awful. That is nothing more than the floor plan of an RV. That bed would be a nightmare to make and there is nothing comfortable about a dinette. Not for me…..and I live in an RV.
I like it!
Yes, I could live in this one. It’s delightful.
I absolutely LOVE this cabin. Being in a wheelchair(but still ambulatory), the only change I would think about making is the doorway by the ladder–and only to make 32″. SIGN ME UP!!!!
They have some very nice units. I looked into them quite a while ago. I thought it might be cool to try out, however their prices are through the roof. If their prices were a bit more in line, I would seriously consider it. They still send me emails. I guess I’ll just wait and see if something changes.
Love the layout. This floorplan is similar to our home but for two differences, 1) we can walk all the way around our full size bed and 2) no dinette. In the empty area shown in the picture, my husband and I have lounge chairs and a TV.
Based on the photo of the bedroom if they had a smaller size bed could you walk around it?
