It doesn’t have to be a dream just go and do it! It’s not like it’s a million dollars. This whole thing is under 50k which is the minimum for a morgage. So let’s say it’s 50k to the bank and take out a 30 year note. That’s 250 a month. Most people have home and cellular internet so get rid of the home internet will save a 100 or more, cut out the expensive coffee pick up that’s at least 4 dollars so weekly that cost is 20 based on a 5 day work week that comes to 1040 for the year divided by 12 equals a savings of 87 dollars if you quit buying coffee on the road but if you “need” coffee or whatever then make it at home and then a cup is like quarter so let’s say you save 70 a month. That’s a total of 170 saved. Cut off your subscriptions so that’s at least 50 saved a month so 220. Adjust the thermostat can save 50 or more a month so now 270 saved and that’s your morgage with little to no effort on your part plus you could air bnb it if you kept it as a 2nd and that’s at least 150 to 200 a night and so you could get 1k a month in rent for only a hand full of days so that way you wouldn’t even need to cut out the first stuff and you would be making like 500 a month from just that. Point is that’s not a hard dream to achieve so go and do it and be happy!

@@waynewayne9693 Where did it say it was only 50k?

[@MAJ0ROCEL0T]

​@@waynewayne9693 You're WAY off base on this estimate. Not including buying land, clearing the land, running electric to this thing, the raw materials for this probably cost closer to 100k than 50k. That on demand water heater and filtration system probably cost your estimate alone. Not including location and land this probably cost about 150k-200k depending on cost of lumbar and transportation of materials. This would be the same cost as a similar sized home in a suburb but with 10x the commute. You can't just build this and think you'll be okay. Also banks are not nearly as comfortable handing out loans to build a new house as they are to buy an existing one. It is VERY easy to come in over budget and have major setbacks with building vs purchasing a house that has already passed inspection

Wow, I finally found it. If I could have that cabin in a village or a small neighborhood and the nearest Sam's, Walmart and gas station was under 20 minutes away, get it hooked up to sewage and natural gas, wired with internet...that would be my new home. The only thing I would add is a garage or a carport and a paved area for my car so I don't walk in the mud. After that...I guess replace the "lawn" with gravel or more pavement.

[@bethfinn370]

We have about the same size, but got so much additional loft space (enough for a working office/library). We're on almost 60 acres with a beautiful stream in one of the most gorgeous spots in NY state (Schoharie county). It's just heaven. I'll have to do a walkabout like this. Loved your on demand water system. We used an incinerating toilet making a septic system uneccessary.

[@kathya1956]

NY state is unlivable

[@Tenebrius1963]

Lucky you cause incinerating toilet are not allowed in Quebec.

[@AKARazorback]

Love the look/ construction - lots of character. The only thing I don't like is the washer/dryer being so visible in the living room - a panel with magnets would solve that. And as other have mentioned, a wood stove for some additional character would be amazing, but a nice to have more than a must have. Definitely saving this for inspiration, thanks for sharing!

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Very nice cabin, I like how you used all the space.

[@klausvonschmit4722]

Man! What’s not love about this cabin! With the addition of a small fire place and a ceiling fan on the patio only makes this cabin or “cottage” that much better! Great job

[@Kindafu]

i love everything about this cabin. great use of the 600 sqft. would you happen to have a video estimating cost?

[@anavrinhsub6081]

150,000

Others are guesstimating @$100 a square foot, $60,000.

[@jasont7814]

@@sandrajohnson9926 Excavation, slab, heating, water filtration, I was thinking more like $100,000 if they did it themselves. Add another $50,000 for a contractor.

[@stupedcraig]

They eat outside at the table and chairs

[@thetrumpdayz]

How much did it cost in total?? It's amazing btw

[@eugeniaskelley5194]

Very pretty, with absolutely no storage and having the washer and dryer right in the living room (great room) so you can listen to the washing machine or dryer while you try to watch tv and all your laundry and detergents etc. right there as decoration.

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

Or, you could do washes when you're not watching TV. If you want storage, get shelving or an outside storage building. Grow up and quit the snarkiness. Oh, and check out the video title. It's a getaway, not a home. It could be but who needs more ugly texts?

[@mikesantos011]

You mean a 600 square foot weekend getaway cabin doesn't have the same features as a full sized home? I'm dumbfounded

[@easilyscan]

Very nice. The only changes I'd consider would be to make the deck/patio a little smaller so the living room could be a little larger & have built-in closet in the master bedroom. Really like the steel roof. I'm guessing the snow slides right off most times. Wish steel roofs were more popular here in the Midwest. Because so few people go with steel, the price is absolutely outrageous. 30 year shingles never seem to last 30 years. One question: How much did it cost ?

[@jeromyt6873]

The outdoor space is cheap compared to indoor space. There's not a big need to sacrifice it in lieu of the other. You can make the living room bigger and still have a big outdoor space. You want that on smaller houses.

[@daveholte7658]

A woodcarvers dream. Perfect at 600 sq ft Self sufficient and no maintenance Radiant Floor Heat and Ductless AC. And the deck and view or No other homes to obscure the view. Best cottage I have ever seen I live in a 399 sq ft park model now, but this beats that. I like the barricade around unsightly LP Tank. And no stinky messy wood stove. Well done.

[@oldworldgardenfarms2749]

Thanks so much! We really wanted to hide the LP tank and the metal architectural fence really worked out well!

[@tommy_gunn3895]

I feel people mistake getaway for bugout alot..this is a beautiful getaway cabin! I hope to achieve this for my families everyday living

[@bigslacker666]

One of the better cabins I've seen period! What was the total cost to build? Materials seem higher end than a lot of cabins and the water system it awesome. Hydronic heat is awesome, that's what I use at my house here in the mountains. Quick, quiet and efficient!

[@brabantula]

I watch a lot of small and tiny home/cabin build videos and always circle back to this one as my favorite. Such an awesome concept, great design and execution. Do you have the plans listed anywhere online for purchase? I'd love to get my hands on them for my own property one day and more than willing to pay!

[@leeboo2521]

It's basically just a shed from some company in Ohio

[@Robinhood179]

Yeah this is one of my all time favorite cabin designs ever. I do agree with others to either knock out washer/dryer or replace them with much smaller ones and add s little fireplace. Perfect.

[@carter2671]

This is amazing! I would love to have this setup some day!

[@Razorpig378]

Really nice property.

[@dobermanpac1064]

Love it.

[@99pncrft]

I love the upstairs bedroom, the kitchen, and the materials the cabin is made from. But man, I can't imagine having the money to build something like this and sticking the bathroom right next to the fridge and the washer and dryer out in the open. I think with a little more attention to details like that, you'd have a perfect cabin.

[@kayfabe591]

It's almost perfect 😁. I suggest adding two cabinet doors to conceal the washer & dryer. Use 180° hinges to fold the doors against the enclosure's side panels when w/d are in use. Plus, install a closet over the w/d. It could span from the top of the w/d enclosure up to the ceiling with a clothes rod, or have a few shelves. Another option, is to leave countertop space for folding laundry, and to hang an upper cabinet that matches those in the kitchen. That "folding area" might serve other purposes at times -- as in, a breakfast bar or desk with a pop-up or slide out extension. Stash a few stacking metal stools in the TV area, to be used inside and outside.

[@opaleddens]

Also agree and don't want to see toilet from kitchen!

[@jamesoncross7494]

Awesome. A full basement would have really given you a lot more room.

[@seanstreck2669]

Build it more into the slope there and have a walkout basement patio! Stack the patio, 1st level deck and loft area with a deck. Still the same footprint but you've got almost a 1000 square foot living space with 3 levels of outdoor living space.

[@anitraahrens905]

Yes, a full basement would definitely be a great benefit.

[@markalley4810]

A wood burning stove for heat and it is absolutely perfect!
