[@johncummings9494]

This particular unit is ideal for short term stays. I’m not sure if the outside shower is a practical feature, especially if you live in or are visiting an area that experiences cold weather in the autumn and winter. Overall, it looks comfortable. Thank you.

[@KerryTarnow]

Thanks for tuning in John!

[@FRMN8R_T4R]

Outdoor showers are great until freezing temps come. Definitely nice for a deep southern or southwest area where the risk of freezing the plumbing is minimized

[@maryf2964]

Depends also on how close your neighbors are!! 👀

[@thesecatsarecrazy567]

Wouldn't take much to close it in.

[@niashalewis-henry9114]

I also think it looks like an after thought. I'm sure there was ways to make it look like they are bringing the outside in, instead of a random cube attached to the front. The inside is nice I definitely agree on that.

[@kcanniff1]

Kerry, I guess I'm kind of surprised. Looked on Wind River's website for pricing. For 300-400sqft you would think there would be a better bang for the buck in using either a destination trailer or 5th Wheel. The styles offered are unbelievable these days. Getting them on-site I'm sure would be much cheaper. Build decks they can be pulled up to and your done. If need be, they could easily be moved to another location (especially 75 of them). Build time would be much less. Obviously just my .02 :)

I love that outside shower, but… when it’s cold I’d skip that, LOL! Give me both! 😂

[@bangkokbullmoto]

You will have loads of kids climbing up the outside wall of the shower to gawp at whoever is in there but having a cold water shower in a cold area is a great way to wake up. All those windows will be great for a socialist country so that people can keep an eye on each other.

All Right Kerry, someone in the middle of the country doing pre fabs. 👍👍👍

Right? Arguably the most requested area

[@stefanr570]

Gatlinburg is northeast of Chattanooga. It's cold there in the winter time. Love the design of this prefab cottage. It looks great as a weekend getaway. However, the outdoor shower makes it less than usable for at least 4 months out of the year. Just this morning it looks like it's in the '30s with a high of 42 and winter hasn't started yet. Hopefully they have units with indoor showers. I'll check their website. I'm just glad that there is now a company in the Southeast producing homes like this! Thank you!

[@candidabarros]

Terry, I would make a wall that does not reach the ceiling that divides the bedroom from the living room and it would look fantastic. I would also put a large refrigerator and some cabinets. In such a cold place, how would they think of making an outdoor shower? That needs to be improved, no one will bathe outside in freezing weather..... Great hug from Miami FL ❤🇩🇴❤️

Karry always does a great job. It's sad there's even a market being exploited for things like this. Unsustainable petroleum products with ginormous carbon footprint marketed as some kind of luxury accommodation when it's just an over priced and under sized trailer home.

Come look at the homes yourself then decide if they are overpriced trailer homes.

I think they missed an opportunity to have a glass walled shower outside. They have glass that goes from clear to frosted at the flip of a switch. This would be epic on the cabins that are more secluded in the mountains.

That would be cool, thanks for watching

[@staciej2580]

Thanks.

[@KerryTarnow]

Thanks for watching!

[@maxander9010]

The mountains get very cold in the winter with snow so you would need an outdoor heater for the shower area ( a large one ) . Otherwise you would get critiqued multiple times in the negative about the guests stay during those months. An interesting concept for design .

[@KerryTarnow]

Thanks for watching

[@gailneal]

When you said "Cleveland" I assumed you meant Ohio...was wondering why you landed in Tennessee 🤔 Outdoor shower is novel but definitely not cool. In Michigan I could only shower for 3 months of the year 🙄

[@KerryTarnow]

haha!

[@CitizenCWQ]

There's an infared heater out there. This is a weekender in a resort. It is not designed as a full-time home. They are beautifully built, Quite different from typical resort modular cabins. I've been in this unit and it is well worth the money.

[@wisenber]

I'm guessing those won't be for rent in the winter. 0 degrees F isn't uncommon in Gatlinburg in the winter. There's living a little, and then there's being outside taking a shower when it's well below freezing.

[@KerryTarnow]

haha fair point

[@dalegereaux1863]

I don't know about that outdoor shower for them mountain folks ?! You know those little boy cousins are going to be spying on the little girl cousins in the shower. Aren't they the ones that say if you ain't good enough for your cousin, who are you good enough for ? 😏😉😜

[@vernonbernardino5781]

@@KerryTarnow Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate what you're doing. My wife and I used to own a 3,000 sq ft home in NY but it and the landscaping upkeep is just too much. Oh, I forgot the high taxes too, oof. We bought 3 parcels of land (different quadrants and climates) in AZ and look to put a tiny or prefab home on one of them in the next year or 3 to retire in. Three yrs of taxes alone = a nice tiny home. So, looking forward to more of your videos!

They're the same. They are prefab and modular. I've had a tour of the facility. It's an efficient and quality build. Stick built.

[@sjagain]

These prefab homes cost $350 to nearly $500 per sq ft. The "home" with no name featured in the video is not on their website, however, they do have one called "The Ronan." which is very similar. The Ronan is 390 sq ft, sleeps 2 people, and the price STARTS at $167,000! That's $428 per sg ft. You better have cash, because you will never get anyone to finance a 400 sg ft house for $167,000. I guarantee this house will not appraise for 1/4 of that amount.

[@MsJackle99]

I love the looks and design of this little cottage so much I looked up the company website to investigate further. By the looks and vibe of the cottage it appears to be designed with the young eco-minded people and/or those building Airbnb type of properties. They are incredibly expensive. The closest model to the custom is the Nova. Without the deck and outdoor shower, it is slightly smaller with 286 sf of floor space for a whopping $97,000.00. That is $340.00/sf. Considering the land cost and the utilities required, the price would quickly escalate beyond traditional housing prices, making this far more expensive than the average, young couple are likely to be able to afford. I find this ironic and sad considering the tiny house movement began by and for those just starting out in life that could never qualify for a traditional home loan. It is a shame a laudable movement has been subjugated by the rich for the rich once again.
