Mountain Cabin Build | Complete Build

Located near the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, Squatch Hollow is the first of several cabins we're building on our nearly 100 acres in the Appalachian foothills. This cabin is the product of several years of hard work and we couldn't be happier with it. Both Squatch Hollow and our other finished cabin, Sunset Ridge, are available to stay at on Airbnb.

On this channel I make weekly videos documenting the build of my rustic mountain rental cabins. When not on a build trip I make videos building and preparing for the trips as well property maintenance, firewood and my outdoor wood boiler.

Thanks for stopping by! This cabin, Squatch Hollow, is the product of a lot of hard work. When we aren't staying there, it is available for guests to spend a night! Check the description or the info card in the top right corner on the video if you're interested!

I am absolutely jealous of the beautiful job you lads have made of that cabin. If you were a football team, you would be at the top of the English Premier League. The thought, detail and craftsmanship is outstanding.

The cabin turned out amazing, your front porch log work is my favorite part. By the way, I sent some Sasquatch photos to the email in your channel bio a few weeks ago. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing.

[@buildlife]

Very cool! Is this Charles? Emails come from different names than KZbin handles so I never know who they are from. Want to make sure they don't go in the trash.

[@chaosplan]

@@buildlife no, I’m not Charles, just a long time subscriber who digs your work.

Great project. I could live there. Half-size and off-grid/dry would be perfect for me. The entire house run by propane Amish-style. Holmes Co Ohio was an interesting place to live.

[@buildlife]

Thanks. I have been looking into LP for our other cabin.

Great cabin!

[@buildlife]

Thanks!

[@bathory5026]

My uncle had a place just like this when I was little. He used to invite the guys from the team over after their games, and they used to have "tickle-fights" - as he called them - into the late night. Things must have gotten pretty serious though because you could hear them screaming all night through the woods.

[@buildlife]

You gotta watch out for those "tickle-fights"

Thanks! Your'e welcome any time! I'll try to find the artist on the music. It is copy write free from Epidemic Sound so they are songs specifically made for using in videos. Not sure you can get them anywhere but through their subscription service. You can always watch the video any time you want to hear it LOL!

Hi guys! I convey my deep gratitude from Western Siberia! We loved the home you created! I would really like to see in more detail how it is inside, especially the second floor, because the height is large. )) By the way, what are the dimensions of the house? We wish you success! Merry Christmas! )))

[@buildlife]

Thanks! I have some other videos of the inside if you poke around on the channel. It is open inside so just one story with a loft over one bedroom. The main body of the cabin is 24x36. Merry Christmas, stay warm!

Well I just seen this very good video I got to say what size cabin is that the main floor area if you don't mind me asking it looks like a 18 X 24 but other than that it looks really good and if you don't mind me asking what state y'all in that looks kind of cold where you guys are at keep up the good work

Thanks, its 24x36. We are in KY near the Red River Gorge. There are links to the AirBnb listings in the description.

[@deniseglenn9102]

Nice video. But it's not a complete cabin build in 15 minutes. By the time the video starts the foundation what ever it is, the floor and like three walls are all ready done. So the title is a lie and very misleading.

[@buildlife]

We aim to please.

[@spenceralridge4958]

You know, you could make the same point without being a complete sphincter. I understand, you get all full of malt liquor and build up your keyboard courage, but is that really necessary? You would never phrase it that way if you were standing in front of these guys. Or if you did, you would only do it once. Merry Christmas, I can see you are eaten alive with the spirit of love thy neighbor.

[@buildlife]

Hmm@@spenceralridge4958 you started this thread by calling me a liar. I work very hard to make cabins and videos that cost you $0 and pay me about the same. Before you start calling me a "liar" and a "complete sphincter" and accusing me of being a drunk, think how your comment may have been received.

[@spenceralridge4958]

@@buildlife - apologies, but my response was not directed at you. I was trying (maybe unsuccessfully) to respond to the jerk that called your video a lie. I very much enjoyed the video and was mad that someone called your title “misleading” and “a lie” because you didn’t include the foundation etc. I sincerely apologize if I somehow replied to the wrong post, that was not my intent. I just hate it when someone like you takes the time to video, edit and then share the work that you do and all they do is bitch and complain. If they are disappointed because there is no video of the foundation, then by all means they should make that comment. But to jump to “misleading” and “a lie” is not something you deserved and it made me mad. Again, I am really sorry if my post did not show up attached to the correct comment.

[@buildlife]

@@spenceralridge4958 No worris and well said, glad it's sorted out. Merry Christmas.
