The Perfect 400 Square Foot Tiny Home? Unique Flying Cabin Tour

[@tylerbarrett6652]

I kind of stumbled across your channel and this is the first upload I have watched. Apparently, in TX any dwelling with fewer than 400 sq ft (399 or fewer) is exempt from property taxes - that's just what the video said, but I had thought for a long time that a 20 x 20 dwelling could solve the homeless problem done right - minimalist type stuff, you know? THIS pond house seems perfect... you could have a garage, even, underneath and still have room for the swing or the picnic table and some outdoor square footage. So, yeah, putting this up on stilts, basically is an excellent idea. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

So, yeah... you'd have to do like a 19.95 x 19.95 to get UNDER the 400 sq ft thing... but it could be done, right?

[@CottageandCompany]

Hi! Thanks for the comment. Yes this type of structure could be very beneficial for areas where housing is in short supply. As you said, the lofted structure provides for ample space below, for things like a garage. Additionally, in flood prone areas the home is safe. So in short, YES this is a great option!

[@CaptainHowdy420]

That place is amazing and well put together. I love all the neat things that were incorporated in the house. Definitely took them time to "collect" all of the items like the staircase and the sink and stained glass window.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Cute little cottage tree house. The floor plan is very well thought out and the use of design elements adds to the quirky character of the place. Adorable. Could so do some serious napping during a light rain storm.

[@CottageandCompany]

Thanks so much! 😊 Yes We agree! Rain, Snow, doesn't matter! You're protected by the structure overhead thanks to the unique design. Even on the coldest days you can warm up in the hot tub! Pretty sweet!

[@cindyrissal3628]

As much as i love claw foot tubs, i think id ditch the tub & put in seating. If you spend any time at all inside, you get awfully tired of sitting on the bed. No room for projects, either. How disappointing that the woodstove isnt woodburning...Of course, im thinking of living there, not just using it for an AirB&B...

[@stevecascaden6345]

Yeah ditch the bathtub and sink in that room. Change the bed to a Murphy bed and have at least a love seat that could sit where the tub is and be moved to watch TV. Yes I'm also thinking of living there or staying there more than just a night or two.

[@donnacarver5181]

Neat little treehouse cottage!

[@CottageandCompany]

It sure is! Thank you for watching!

Beautiful! Right!? Thanks for the comment

[@asmajoolfoo4139]

Not only many ideas of yours are original but they are also many which are brilliant! Indeed, your abode is very special and I love it. Have a happy life, both of you!

[@CottageandCompany]

[@elsie9649]

These types of houses are all over gulf towns, Gulfport, Biloxi, Pensacola. Love them.

[@CottageandCompany]

I’d imagine so with all the flooding!

[@killeresk]

Such a great spot. Very well done and by water too.

[@Ms.VermontTarot]

thank you so much for your time you spend putting these videos together..I'm a born and raised Vermont lady, I'm frome stowe vt but currently in lyndonville vt... I'm getting ready to build my first home which will be a tiny home and your video gave me inspiration ..thanks again take care

[@TheKyPerson]

It's very neat, but I would not want to have to walk up those stairs in the snow. My children lived in a tiny house by a lake for several years. The lake flooded a couple of times and finally the owner had the house raised 3 feet on a concrete block foundation. It worked perfectly. My children all have their own homes, but they still look back fondly on their time in the tiny house.

[@CottageandCompany]

The stairs are protected from the snow so there would be no shoveling involved 🤗. Sounds like some fond memories. This lofted cabin design would work well in flood prone areas!

[@tonylusa9951]

All I can think of is having to smell the stink every time someone takes a poo in the toilet with no door sealing the stink away. Hahahaha

[@lindafurr2111]

What a cool shower!!

[@cindyrissal3628]

A spiral staircase! Love them! I think theyvare way underutilized. They have a cool vibe & take up so much less room.

Definately not practical, esp in a raised home. If he has to replace his furniture this would be a pain in the a**

[@pennyhurst6973]

This appears to be a nice place for an outdoor person that doesn’t really need to entertain inside. The entertainment space is downstairs per their choice. The kitchen cabinets height is built for their height not everyone else. The sink is adorable if you truly understand the generation. Why shouldn’t they build something they want with their money.

[@harleysmith7834]

[@lindafurr2111]

How very lovely 😍 💕

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

That's a big kitchen with a tiny prep counter making it difficult to prepare something. It has a full size range/oven, shallow sink, too tall microwave to use, nook seating without a table or place to sit & eat. You would be forced to eat standing up. The window A/C unit looks like an afterthought. The dual hallways around the toilet/shower are an inefficient use of s.f. area. In the bedroom, where would you sit to use a laptop, write an email, other than in bed or the tub? If you managed to make a plate of food in the kitchen, how would you carry it down the spiral stair to the picnic table? Other than that, it's charming.

[@yusbagoes5771]

beautiful

[@breaux2806]

Not gonna lie, it's really weird seeing the kind of homes I grew up with in the bayou as a necessity for flooding and hurricanes being marketed as romantic. Maybe it's because this is vermont and people never had to live like we did.

[@lindafurr2111]

Love that sink and stove!;-)🎉

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

Don’t think I’d stay in a place where, when you take a crap, the whole cabin stinks. I mean you could only go there with someone you really loved! Use a real door for those who are just getting to know each other!

[@waltthebard7637]

I'm imagining one with a swoopy, oriental style roof, but with a couple gables on either side, for cross-venting. Or maybe just live in a house boat on stilts.😎

Haha I like the way you think!

This is only 90 minutes from me. I'd love to stay there sometime.

[@erhardt1477]

Ok… I’m convinced… I will NOT show this to my wife 😂 Because when she sees this… she wants to move there 😂😂😂

[@myrazocher4981]

I have a cabin in the trees VERY similar. We also call it a treehouse. Ours is half as big, but bigger decks - it is also light-filled with an outdoor shower off the deck. I have an antique soaking tub up there - it is magical too. Anyway, thanks for sharing - you don't see this everyday and it was fun for me!

[@CottageandCompany]

So cool! Your place sounds great! What advantages have you found from lofting it into the air?

[@myrazocher4981]

@@CottageandCompany - we can fit an area underneath for a freezer (for our house which is right next to it) and also a pathway for our john deere gator to drive around the property. It feels safe up in the air, too.

[@eileenlundin6256]

So with no living space upstairs I think it is just plain weird Can’t even put a Murphy bed in to normalize that into living space with that dumb tub there Oh it’s freezing outside But let’s eat on the bed .. play cards…watch tv …us and our guest can all fit for sure ….

I have a babbling brook on my proper that you can ACTUALLY understand. At certain times, it actually talks in English. It's a bit frightening at first, but once you get used to it, it's quite charming. I never says more than 2 or 3 words that are understandable as English so who knows what other words it says in other languages that I don't understand.

@@Hjw673lakefront camps in VT are often located on a slope and at least partially on stilts. They built plenty of old wood docks and piers, and even bridges back in the day, although many are now metal. Plus, wooden fence posts are still used in soggy ground.
