This tiny cabin in the woods story is a guest post by Joe Slade
I am in the process of building this tiny cabin in the woods in Attala County, Mississippi.
It sits in the middle of 22 acres of hardwoods with no roads on the property.
All building supplies are carried in by hand. I just finished painting it to protect it for years to come.

Even though this isn’t a tiny house I still thought you’d enjoy this 840 sq. ft. modern and rustic cabin in the redwoods.
And the best part is that this particular one was designed and built in a way that makes it feel modern and rustic at the same time. But not only that… The exterior of the structure looks like a cabin. When you go inside though you’ll notice a cottage-like homey look and feel in certain rooms. So the result is a modern rustic cottage cabin, isn’t it? Oh, and good news- plans are available for this design if you like it enough to build it.

This is the Ufogel cabin. Some say it looks like a bird, and others say it looks like a spacecraft. Either way, it’s pretty unique and cool and I thought you may like it. Have you seen this modern tiny cabin called the Ufogel yet?
The Ufogel cabin is on stilts and offers 484-square-foot of living space. It’s really one of a kind, isn’t it? The tiny cabin is located in Austria and available as a vacation rental. How would you like to live or stay in a cabin like this?

I ran into this at the tiny houses category over at Reddit and just had to share it with you.
This is one man’s tiny cabin for minimalist living in the Smokies.
It was originally bought as a getaway cabin in the mountains.
At about 570 sq. ft. with an open floor plan and a great location… I think it’s a great place to live simply in… How about you?

To have a park model tiny house / log cabin on your own land somewhere does sound pretty awesome.
This particular model is only available in Idaho, Montana, Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Alberta, and British Columbia.
Check out the Pacific Lodge built and manufactured by Palm Harbor Homes.
It is a 386 square feet wooden cabin with one bedroom/one bath and a sleeping loft.
The dimensions are: 34 x 11’2. It’s classified as a park model home.
Maybe some of us should consider designing and building our tiny houses to park model specs if we want more space and a downstairs bedroom?

Here’s a 150 sq. ft. cabin in Encinitas, California I thought you might enjoy. The first level is 120 sq. ft. and then there’s a 30 sq. ft. loft for sleeping. It’s available as a vacation rental so I’m excited to add it to our tiny house vacations section.
When you go inside, you’ll find all of this carefully packed into 150 square feet:

If you’re into tiny houses but even 8′ x 30′ feels like it’d be too tight then you’ll probably like this 392 sq. ft. ESCAPE cabin. It’s a park model cabin!
It’s 28′ x 14′ so plenty of extra space compared to most tiny homes on wheels that meet the 8’6″ width standards which is mainly so you can tow your own house without any permits. The ESCAPE is still portable only you’d have to pay for professional help to move it which is costly so you wouldn’t want to move very often unless you really have to. So here it is. The Classic ESCAPE.

For me, I’d only have this moved if I really had to. My plan would be to find the right plot of land and leave this there for as long as it can last with proper care/maintenance.
Here, let me show you inside:
If the name Vincent Kartheiser doesn’t ring a bell he’s a star actor in the TV series Mad Men.
And what’s interesting about him is that he chooses to live in a 580 sq. ft. tiny cabin in Hollywood with his fiancée.
It was remodeled to look “Japanese-industrial” as he calls it and has a few pretty unique space saving features.
For instance, instead of a murphy bed, his bed simply raises to the ceiling when it’s not being used.

When he wants privacy in the bedroom a large thick red curtain is available to enclose the space in. It’s stored in the built in wooden closet that you can see in the photo above to the left of the bed in the corner of the room. You can also see the railing on the ceiling for the curtain.

Bette Presley, of Arroyo Grande, was already living relatively small before she decided to go tiny.
She downsized from her Grandmothers’ Club mobile home park into her own Tumbleweed Tiny House of just 166 square feet.
Part of the goal, she says, is to save her five adult children from having to go through all of her belongings when she passes.
Even better, she hopes she can completely avoid having to go into a nursing home and instead, just stay in her beautiful Tumbleweed cabin.
