We had a fun stay at The Big Stump tiny house (named after The Big Stump beach, 1-block away). Along with the tour, we share our thoughts on whether or not we think it's full-time tiny house living suitable or better as a short-term rental. What do you think? 🏡✨👉 *Check out this incredible full-time gooseneck tiny home (one of our favs!):* kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGHMZJappb55jLs

[@AtsircEcarg]

I loved this style of video- you guys dissecting the rental from a full time living perspective! This is so helpful for someone really considering going tiny!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Happy to hear it; that's what we hoped for! :)

[@davidc8694]

My very first impression inside: that railing is so physically & visually intrusive! I get that they needed something secure for a rental, but even painting it white would help. The bathroom & main bedroom are cool. As a retired attorney, I worry about that tiny crawl-thru space. I'm sure there's an egress window in the bedroom, but in an emergency, if an adult needed to retrieve a child, that could prove difficult. As always, a great, informative, balanced video review!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you David, and great points on egress!

[@meanqkie2240]

My first thought too, paint that stair rail white!

[@karynnmackinnon3975]

The privacy screen is the best part!

[@littlecookingtips]

We liked your criticism, as it was fair. You pointed out the strong as well as the weak points of full-time living in this tiny home. Ourselves, we liked how spacious the bathroom was, but as you said, it comes at a cost of having a smaller countertop. We liked the skylight, as we like stargazing lol! :D Great tour guys!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you for the kind feedback! Really enjoyed the bathtubs but would rather have a big kitchen 😉

[@kristianrndrup4469]

The murphy bed in the down stairs room seems like a bloody brilliant idea for a child's room or as an office/guest room!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Absolutely!

[@Discerning_Viewer]

Steps up the bathroom into the bedroom is brilliant (though the sleeping space is cramped). Bravo!

[@sashilacy7327]

Loved your comments..Seems great for a rental because a whole family could stay there short time… Can’t imagine living in it the way it’s set up just would not be comfortable..But Thanks ..that was fun!!

[@ms.suzylucy6868]

Wow! This is the most realist, down to earth, most comfortable, cool, honest tiny home COUPLE that I’ve ever seen!!! They tell it like it is; they’re fun, truly honest, realistic and down to earth! They don’t sugar coat it and it make it seem like it’s all peaches and roses. Thank you for a true depiction and review. I would love to see more critiques of tiny homes from you!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

I agree with most of your assessments. I'd would prefer more kitchen counter space vs. bathtub. I'd also would like a stovetop and oven, collapsible dining table or counter with stools. I'd probably extend the kitchen into that extra downstairs bedroom with the Murphy bed. As for the heavy banister for the floating stairs, I'd put a lightweight rail with those wires or maybe plexiglass to provide more transparency. Better yet, utilize that downstairs bedroom space to somehow build a stairway that's out of the way. I do like the height of the TV though. The upstairs bedroom wall with the micro door doesn't work for me. Jenny

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for sharing Jenny!

[@spoiled4evaami]

I actually agree w. Yall 100%!! Bathroom needs more storage, that 2nd bedroom upstairs, that door?? Id never fit threw that...lol... large butt...lol

[@Macsinvideo]

Totally agree with you about everything you said Alexis and Christian! Good pointers! Hate the house!

[@RobinsTinyHomestead]

Finally a honest tiny house video :-):-):-)

[@mistyfrick8355]

I love you pointing out things that others may not look at/for.

[@erinbrown6962]

I LOVE the idea of a sky light in the bedroom!!!

[@Kravalloz]

I like that you guys also show bad examples of a tiny house.

[@roamsweethome4895]

I agree on all points. Like you said, for full time living (FTL), you’d need a place for a hamper and more storage for supplies. The lower “bedroom” could double as a dining area, or triple as the tv area, giving the much more kitchen space needed to be FTL. Plus, then, you’d be able to keep that large bathroom! The intended kids’ room door would be fun for them up to a HS age, but not beyond. The “Master” bed was situated incorrectly. The room was obviously designed to have the headboard at the front of the unit, (heads under the skylight). One of the reading lamps was too far away to be of any use other than ambient lighting. The only other I could see for FTL would be the lack of rebuild ability. Everything is finished out nicely, but what happens if you want to change something? Great video guys! Keep them coming, and we hope to see you at Skoolie Palooza 2021 in January!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for watching guys, and we’d love to come to Skooliepalooza! Good point on lack of flexibility in some key areas to reconfigure 👌

[@andreefaniel275]

***..Thanks a lot guys .. ( cuz sharing priorities while living in a tiny house is a must ) ***

[@petermautner7052]

In this day and age, tiny homes should be the norm.

[@jaqr3635]

I actually really love this design as a 2 bedroom. Especially the walk through the bathroom to the bedroom. I could see this being extremely comfortable for a person new to tiny homes with only a few adjustments. Plus these bedrooms are the first I’ve seen that seem like they’d actually be functional long term.

[@Voshana]

Yep!!! Bathtub over counter space for me!!! The thing it is lacking for me would be a washer and dryer either combo or stacked.

[@sylviatorres8965]

🙋🏻‍♀️. I definitely agree with the fact you have pointed out. Railing, a smaller bathroom don’t get me wrong. That bath tub was beautiful but I’m with you on more counter space. The height in the gooseneck was great but could have been more planned out for a better layout for being a three bedroom Tiny. Maybe it was built only for short term rental. Great review you guys.🏠

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you Sylvia! Good points 😊

[@alicetheegreet]

I loved the different shapes of the roof.

[@buildfixflip]

We just built our first tiny shed house conversion & you learn very quickly that you definitely want the cool factor, but everything needs to be beautiful AND serve a purpose.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Best wishes with your conversion! We’ll check your channel 👍

[@godsguided]

Love the neighboring homes rock climbing wall as their siding 🧗🏽‍♂️

[@MrTimcollinstx]

landing at top of stairs should go all the way across width of living room and open the whole "arched" area at the top (no wall no door). Narrower stairs might be plus and you mentioned railing on wall side. If the toilet was moved toward vanity a couple feet ,a full cabinet floor to ceiling could have served both rooms, bedroom and bath depending on door placement. LOVED overall design though. Use of materials etc, very high end looking !!

[@micheleheynes4298]

Good dual perspective of owner vs rental. I personally got the bathroom with a shower and separate bathtub. Been years if not over a decade of not using the bathtub to bathe, showering has been my way of living. Would change the size of the tub for a smaller tub version and place the shower inside with a seating space. So the tub could be used for those larger blankets. Have a combo washer-dryer as I don't use laundromats, and get the option of hanging the washing when the weather permits. Above the washer-dryer, have racks with the bottom hinged to iron the clothes and have packing space for the not ironed items and bathroom/clothes washing essentials. Keep the stairs, but switch the kitchen to under the stairs and have an L shaped kitchen with counter space. Close the stairs off for pantry space. Thus freeing up the now kitchen with a french or sliding door and a full length deck on the opposite side with an awning as an entertainment area. The cramped door, larger as I hate small the claustrophobic door space. Have a balcony with catwalk to the other loft. Smaller plant boxes for herbs and some plants to get nature in and fresh herbs to use in the cooking. The catwalk making it an experience of space to walk to the other bedroom, and it doesn't need to be 6' in height, I'm about 5'8½. With some extra storage for the not in use every day items put there, as well as shoes, arts and crafts. Bedrooms more packing spaces and floor to ceiling cupboards. Change the skylight to the other seasons clothing storage with the whole ceiling, and selected doors to gain access and not needing to climb. Downstairs bedroom, keep the murphy bed, just have pivoting shelves and workbench that becomes the base support, so slash office/study/arts and crafts room. Living space, get an island or mini wall that acts as a table and storage, fold up chairs, but then again have the larger deck for entertainment. TV or large monitor facing the couch to distinguish between a sleeping space and watching programs. Small yet large enough wood burner in matt black or purple for a pop of color to heat my toosh in winter. All as a permanent living space and my readjustments.

[@hastii36]

Considering the size of this house, and what must have been a considerable cost to build it, I'm blown away by the critical design flaws! Still, it boasts some seriously superior features!

[@janetslicer3637]

Just goes to show some people have more money than brains!

[@denisemarshall5443]

I felt like they pointed out a lot of design flaws as well. But I think ALL houses tiny or not have them. I wonder what their own Tiny House looks like and what design flaws their MUST have. Wonder if they got permission to dissect these people property on KZbin like they are. It could very well cost them some future renters.

[@jacquelynmedina5401]

The secluded patio was the best feature of this tiny home.

[@cheriemonami]

The sun shining in the sky light is a mid-day issue. In the early morning the sun will be too low to shine through. I think the three bedroom design was specific for it being a rental. Though three bedrooms full of people would be crowded in the living space especially as there is no table.

[@Hunnter2k3]

Seating as well. I remember seeing a genius idea on some TV show about tiny homes where they had 5 seats inside of one, and the cushions on the bottom sides came off to make the tops of said extra 4 seats. It was such a good idea! It can just act as a regular little seat during the day, or a foot rest, come busy times, suddenly you have 4 extra seats.

[@denisemarshall5443]

I really like that rental tiny house And the 3 bedroom is wonderful. I love the bathroom too. I don't cook much so I would be fine with it.

[@VintagePrincess27]

I’m not a morning person at all....night owl 😄👍🏻😳 Love the bathroom 🚽 and all the bedrooms 🌸

[@AbsoluteNut1]

I love how you honestly list the pluses and minuses.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you!

[@elenarodriguez8262]

I really like the bedroom in the tung and you can feel like it is really big too. And I also agree with what you guys said about that bathroom and I think that is too much GLASS, just think that if you had children that are a little too busy, you all know what I mean lol. And the rail is on the wrong side , and loft is really really too small for a older person like me , but my grandchildren would love it too. But all in all I really think it is really nice to get away from that crazy life lol . Much love Elena ❤️🐢💋

[@shawandabarnes614]

Love the concept but alot of missed opportunities. Like washer & dryer. Agree about the storage in the bathroom . Should use that blank wall by the toilet & it would free up space in the bathroom to do a tub/shower combo..

[@blueangelsfan4072]

The railing is awesome!! I watch these tours and this is the 1st time I thought "Finally, a set of stairs that I would feel SAFE using!"! I'm older, with arthritis of knees and numbness in both arms. Could It be a little smaller? Yes. It could also be painted a lighter color. Besides that I luv it and that tub, a must!

[@MelancholyPancake]

It is a nice design. I am not a fan of loft spaces, but to each their own. In the bathroom, I would have done a tub/shower combo to squeeze out a tiny bit more space. I love my kitchen space! Loved your review. You brought up a lot of things I feel like people don't think about. Also, love murphy beds.

[@ANIMALS_AND_MORE_moments]

Amazing is two stand-up rooms in a Tiny house. The bathroom is amazing too but I would have opted for a shower-tub combo, which could allow to extend the kitchen. Regarding the third room I would choose a ladder because for me it would be a storage room only. Without the stairs in the living room the place would offer much more space - perhaps for a table as well.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Great ideas!

[@jaqr3635]

I agree with the tub/shower, it’s still essentially a 2 bedroom w/loft in terms of usability. Love the ladder idea. Those stairs look good but aren’t very practical for the space.

[@mayamyu]

Thank you for great advices for the future building in smaller space 👍

[@elishevaadams1311]

Oh man! Hard pass on needing to go through the bathroom to get to the main bedroom! As a kid, sleeping at my cousin's house, we would routinely get stuck in her bedroom because you had to go through the bathroom to get to it! I promise, you will be late for breakfast if grandpa or grandma goes into the bathroom before you are ready to leave the bedroom! Ugh. Unless you're fond of climbing out windows and sliding down the woodpile like we did, find a better way!😂

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

😂

[@katrinar9310]

I would say that designing for a rental is completely different from designing for fulltime living. I think they made good choices with a small kitchen, larger bathroom, and 3 sleeping spaces to maximize guests. As a guest these things would be important to me as well. Great video and interesting to hear your thoughts. BLESSINGS-Kate

[@mzbuzzy]

I loved the video and the overall tiny house. I think that when it comes to the hand railing the issue is the color. The black color is too harsh next to the floating stairs. I didn't see a washer or dryer

[@aprilshorty4094]

Oh yeah I didn't even think about that but it was definitely a missed opportunity because if I'm renting short term I would rather have clean clothes than a bathtub

[@johnnyli4702]

I disagree. I don't think the problem is the aesthetic, I think the problem is functional. These aren't storage stairs, there's no function other than to get up to the loft. Therefore, using a ladder of any kind would have been a better choice. You'd free up a ton of space that is currently not being used at all. Also, I'm not so sure the floating stairs were a good idea for a staircase. They look incredibly unstable when this couple was walking up.

[@HollyBerry0255]

My husband and I are trying to figure out how to build our family a tiny home and this was super helpful! We want three bedrooms so us and our two kids have privacy but definitely would want more counter space and an oven/stove. We also want a bathtub but combined with a shower. I watch a lot of tiny house videos and this one didn't use the space as well as most tinier houses I've seen but this is a rental so it does make sense. Still beautiful.

[@chariseve2277]

I loved the outside of this tiny home rental, especially the use of color and the privacy screen. On the inside, the triangle window in the front area is amazing - love it! The upstairs bedroom is fit for a hobbit or a child but being as it’s a rental, the coolness and wow factors should at least be good for a few laughs. I agree that the banister is very large, but if I owned this rental, it would stay in place for safety reasons. For a rental, this place looks great. It’s not meant to be used as a longterm solution and is clearly not designed that way, but it makes an excellent example of what to look for when planning your own tiny home. Overall, I think the home is nice and I really enjoyed this video!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you for watching! Appreciate your feedback and really like to hobbit door thought 😊 a kid’s dream fort!

[@elspethfougere9683]

Such a great video!! Thank you 😊 I really like how cheerful, frank and polite you guys are

[@sarahr9181]

I agree with pretty much everything you said. Really great for a rental but not so practical for full time living. Love the gooseneck bedroom (except the tv placement)….would definitely lose the tub and gain more kitchen space. Great video as usual, guys!!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you Sarah!! :)

[@casieperry9047]

This video is a great idea! I love the idea of a tiny home but I also know that the best ones are tailor made to the residents. I wouldn't know where to start in the planning process. Short term rentals are genius! Talking to other tiny homeowners is another great to begin the process. I love your show. Keep it up.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you Casie! ☺️

[@crystalBall9287]

Ooooo I LOVE the skylight in the bedroom 😍 I'm that person who would love it

As long as she’s with us, she’s happy 💗

[@calicolyon]

@@TinyHouseExpedition our dog was like that too. :)

[@brendapugh0924]

Love the stairs leading into the bathroom. Very unique.

[@BLxM559]

I’m bummed that the bed didn’t lift to expose more storage. Also, the stairs were crazy distracting to me personally. Lastly, was the tub and. They lost so much room adding the tub and I wish they would have added storage or and true closet. Oh, that lost room was a waste if good space used different bc I’d go crazy in that box

[@lindaford3976]

As we get older, these kind of gooseneck tiny homes would be a sound investment. I LOVE the Murphy bed concept and the stand bedroom. I agree that the bath is a complete disaster in the area on lost space. A Shower/ toilet with pedestal sink could gain ALOT of storage space. The stairs would defiantly have to be re-thought to make this a winner. Did anyone catch the square footage? Also, does it require a different floor plan in a gooseneck design?

[@helenaquin1797]

I love the look and agree with many of the comments, (skylight good in a bathroom, etc). The small bedroom off the living area would be great used as extra living area..Then adding fold out walls to encapsulate a separate work/sleep area when needed.. Like tgat the whole area isn't taken up with kitchen counters as who makes everything to eat all at once? Add a fold out counter at the end over the couch that folds up as a partition if absolutely more is needed.. 💜

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Like the fold down counter idea! I’m definitely someone who also cooks multiple dishes so I like lots of counter space 😄

[@melifluousMOUTH]

I love how they laugh together in unison. so cute

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

☺️😄

[@DawnOldham]

Great video concept and well executed! I agree with all of your suggestions on making this rental into a more functional home.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks Dawn!

[@simonpeters3362]

Best video I have ever come across in relation to tiny house living. Great information, informative, good advice! Simon (United Kingdom, Wales).

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you! ☺️✨🍻

[@evasibrava6895]

I love the design of the outside of this tiny home and the privacy deck. The inside isn't designed well for long time living. But it's not bad for being a vacation rental as you guys have pointed out. Love watching your tiny home KZbin videos. You both are knowledgeable and very entertaining!!!!

[@SavvyGirl751]

You can tell between the tv and the bed side lights that the bed was intended to face the the other way (so you see the headboard when you walk in) and they moved it up against the wall to give people floor space and my guess so people could put their suitcases under the bed. Definitely makes a difference that it is a rental instead of a house.

[@bethsojourner6798]

I noticed that too. I wonder if the bed was just long to fit the other way?

[@Hunnter2k3]

Yeah that was a rather unfortunate mistake lol "Measure twice, cut once." In fact, when it comes to tiny homes, "measure THRICE, cut once." is probably more apt. Taking them apart for maintenance is even more painful due to the small cramped space, there's nowhere else to go! lol Even better if you plan ahead for potential moving of things just for changing things up, you can still allow for some freedoms in layout if you design properly. Plenty of wall sockets is always a good simple way, non-fixed furnitures if you want to redesign some stuff, hooks to hold them in to the floor or against walls can keep them having a disco when you are moving around. This is definitely a measure 10 times cut once approach though! You need to have some god-like foresight to see what potential ways you might want to re-arrange things over time and potential issues you could face.

[@aprilshorty4094]

I guess that's why the skylight is an an awkward place

[@busybee833]

I don’t live in a tiny home but I live in a small bungalow. I have taken tiny home principles to work out my space issues. I have freed my mind on how to work my space to live functionally. I’m happier and find life easier. At one point in time I had 5 people living here because of the economy a little bit of an issue with only one bathroom but we made it. That tiny home is definitely set up for temporary stays not permanent living. The day to day activities would become irritating. Thank you for your show just wanted you to know you inspire even beyond just tiny home living. Oh my square footage is approx 912 square feet if you were wondering how I managed 5 people.

[@charlenelytle2018]

I agree with all of you 100%.. The little door one id give to the dog for a kennel.. lol

[@pattypollard4070]

It’s a very cute TINY HOME but I would love a little bigger if I was buying one . This is cute but really loved the bathroom I like a bigger Kitchen a bigger bedroom and bigger living room also but it is very nice I just like a lot bigger TINY HOME THANKS FOR THE TOUR ENJOY 😉

[@eleanorcramer7986]

The house is manic , I love a tub and not separate shower. Dishwasher is great and plexiglass rail wall would accentuate floating steps. The outside is like a crazy quilt; too busy for my eye. That looky Lou issue would become intrusive but I love looking. Thanks.

[@chrystallee5528]

I love the exterior and the outside deck area. It's a visually striking exterior but, the interior could have been planned better. I've seen much smaller tiny homes with alot more storage and more surfaces. Love the full bath tub. The shower could have been incorporated into the tub which would have allowed for a larger living/kitchen space and more surfaces or storage in those areas. Also that staircase across from kitchen should have been built with storage under each step.

[@Hunnter2k3]

Have to agree with pretty much everything. An option you could do with that bathroom for more shelving is a drop-down shelf above the bath. Might mean making the window a little taller, or having a taller one up next to the wall / shower that latches on, but it's doable for sure. That way you can keep the bath and still have the shelving when you need either. That staircase just screams for a small handrail and glass panels floating off it. It'd look so nice. Align the glass panels with the steps as well. It'd fit so nicely. That crawl-space door is obscenely tiny lol, I think most drain access hatches have more clearance! They definitely need to up the size of that for sure. Don't go too small, even if it is just for kids, you still need to get up there in emergencies or to clean things occasionally! This is coming from a person that'd favor crawl-spaces for efficient use of height, but even I think that's too small for regular use and I'm thin as it gets. Another option at that gooseneck section is raising the floor up ever so slightly to get some ground storage for a bunch of stuff, and have deep storage under the bed. Or, as I would personally have it, a half-height bed with space under it like you'd typically see in van conversions. You could fit a LOT of clothes under there hung up and still have space to sit up on the bed above.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Excellent points!

[@justsayYvette]

I loved it. Especially the bathroom and master bedroom. I can live there.

[@anxiousemily4180]

This was really helpful. Excellent points made and yes less space in the bathroom and more space in the kitchen would be so much better. Even for a rental. And those floating stairs.. I would be afraid to walk on them they looked a little shaky. Beautiful tiny though! I’d stay there short term.

[@robinjones1955]

How do stairs "look" shaky.. ?..lol. get rid of railing and put glass panels on outside edge of stairs up towards ceiling.. mount a handrail to the wall. That way the stairs woukd take up a lot less visual space.

[@yellowjasmine2009]

Thank you so much for you excellent observation. You are 100 % right. Amazing

[@bazia7927]

Love the outside colors & shapes!

[@carlyoung1435]

I love Goose neck designs and I think that is the first one I have seen were the bedroom is over 5' 10" high. Fantastic! Makes me want one even more since I have always been leary due to the lack of bedroom height. I am 6". Thank you for the video.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Love what you can do with a gooseneck!

[@susanalmario4605]

Your critique of this gigantic tiny house was spot on. A tinyer house could have so much more well thought out amenities. When I'm ready to buy one next summer, I'd love for you to critique it for me 😊 before the purchase.

[@HAL-2023]

Totally agree with all your concerns about this rental:)

[@chriscallaway6993]

You made lots of great comments and I agree with everything you said about the rental. I would not like a tiny home like this for full time living and probably not on my vacation agenda either.

[@earth2wendy]

Great points made thruout based on lived experience-thank you! What strikes me is lack of tinting on windows, which is true of pretty much every tiny house we’ve seen. A good 3M tint (e.g. 35%) applied thruout would greatly soften the harsh constrast of shafts of sunlight in a small, tall, sometimes cave-like space. The choice can be climate-related, but in the high intermountain desert where we live, adding this sunglasses-like effect in our own home, including on skylights, provides such relief and allows us to enjoy our scenic surroundings more without constantly adjusting window treatments. Glad to see Winnie looking so spry! Missed her in an episode or two!

[@earth2wendy]

An economical and fun alternative to 3M is do-it-yourself film from Amazon. So many patterns to choose from! There was one we used for a garage guest room that never failed to draw compliments-it was scattered aspen leaf skeletons in pale green. It filtered the light and provided privacy much like the porch privacy screens you highlighted in this tour, while still allowing one to see out.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We appreciate the kind feedback! Winnie brings us so much joy. ☺️ Great tip on tinting!

[@sherryprince5986]

The outside is gorgeous and i really liked the bathroom. I do agree for more cabinets in the bathroom or a stackable washer/dryer. I think the living room should have been where the kitchen was. I loved the fireplace. I agree with the stair rails. I am a morning person so I loved the skylight.

[@caliemm2159]

Its cute...just gotta have a doorway closet,gotta have broom closet' *vacuum. Love the drawer dishwasher....ever neat...love the full fridge,gotta have drawers in the stairs for extra storage.love the murphy bed, extra space for table * laptop room.Love the tub!! Im a morning person....but not a fan of skylights

[@its.indigo.pulchritudinous]

This would be PERFECT for me and my daughter. I just use my InstaPot and Air fryer. I LOVE my bubble baths but I take lots of showers. I just would make the door for the kids bedroom a bit taller. Otherwise, this is perfect for me.

A beautiful nicely designed tiny home. Some of the things mentioned of course make sense if you lived there, but a fantastic job otherwise. The skylight in the bedroom is generally hot without the shade which is why some opt-out of it.

[@happyinparis]

I love having the 3 bedrooms. I don't get the criticism. It is a tiny home. I love the tub!

[@Classyladyjazz86]

I love the place. Personally I would have wanted storage stairs instead of floating stairs. As for the bathroom I agree it's nice but they wasted space. Also I love your Meow Wolf shirt. That place is so cool

[@jocelyntownsend5710]

waking up with the sun is the best.

[@sandralnwebster3204]

I like your ideas about nixing the tub and making the kitchen larger. Also I would put in an entry closet and a air exchange system. This looks like a permanent Tiny so I would have added two more feet in width to give it a roomier feel! But,on the whole I would certainly just love to have it as a rental on the beautiful Oregon coast!

I agree with your assessment of this home 100%, I like it but for full-time living it needs a lot of adjustments.

Maybe they made a small kitchen and larger bath for a more "vacation vibe" rental. Personally, I don't like anything about this house except the bathtub. Great tour though!

Thank you Michele!

Very good points. Thank you for your videos.❤

You've given me an amazing idea! I'm from the UK and would love a tiny home but we're a family of 5 so we'd need 3 bedrooms

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Happy to help!💕

I love the bathroom,!

One thing I don't get is how this video has 175,000 + views, and only 4,000 people liked it. Come on guys, we gotta be a little more considerate and react more to videos. It only takes a second. Lovely Tiny home btw!

The couch looks uncomfortable as many tiny couches do. A footrest wood be helpful. But it’s very attractive. In the main bedroom it looks like the bed was originally against the back wall. I wouldn’t want a tub either. Could the bedroom floor extend out a foot into the bath area? Agree about stair rail too.

Thank you for all the items good or bad loved this as am planning this move 🤦‍♀️

Total eye opener video!! Important to get past the “awesome” and focus on personal practicality! Thank you!

Love it! The key to successfully living in a tiny house is to make every single inch count. Like the storage under the stairs in the bathroom. Or eliminating the bathtub. I don't see the logic in having the shower/ tub as separate entities in a tiny home. I agree that some kinda table is necessary- makes life easier. And finally the privacy screen, wicked cool both in function & appearance. Would definitely invest in 1 if it was my tiny home!🌃🎃 🏡

Good point on potential for shower/tub combo, then kitchen could easily be bigger or they could do a big closet👍😊

[@mtdebh20]

Definitely a great critique.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks 😊👍

I like the railing and the way it's placed. To me the railing on pushes you out to the edge of the stairs making it more likely to fall off such narrow steps.

I like how private the main bedroom is and I like the Murphy bed.

I agree with all your opinions completely!
