Martin House-To-Go Update
One of the most popular posts in this blog is the Martin House-To-Go post. Dan from Southern California has been talking with Martin House-To-Go about their houses and they have given him a private preview of a house that is not even on their website yet. From what Dan understands, it is available for purchase. Here are the highlights.
$37,900 complete (everything below is included in price)
- Super sized version 10′ wide by 20′ long
- Pre-wired for cable and internet
- Under counter fridge
- 11 windows
- Pedestal sink in bathroom with full shower and electric composting toilet standard
- On-demand tankless hot water heater
- GE 2 burner electric stove top
- Microwave
- Cedar kitchen counter
- Custom bamboo wood floors
- Remote-controlled air conditioning standard ( very very cool ) - no pun intended -
- Built in window seat with underneath storage
Dan says the kitchen is a lot better than their previous model - it’s HUGE and he likes the cedar - they said it has some sort of high cost expensive sealer on it. He thinks the cedar kitchen counter gives it a nice touch of a “woodsy cabin” feel.
Dan’s wife thought window box for flowers adds a nice touch to the house as well.
Overall, I think they managed to put a lot of ‘charm and cozy home appeal’ into this one. When you compare this new one to the one on their website, I think this one is a world apart better.
Quoting Dan’s wife, ” Yes, I could live in that ” or have a guest stay in it.
They also showed Dan photos of the “Sportsman Model” below…. for campers, hunters, nature lovers …
It looks pretty cool set up with cots and camping equipment. You could definitely see yourself taking it out hitched up to your truck for a weekend camping trip. It sure beats a tent any day of the week. Considering all the stuff you hear going on at campgrounds, I like the idea of locking my front door at night while camping.
I think Martin House-To-Go adding the front porch gave it a nice touch too.
Thank you Dan for sharing these photos and thoughts with us.

Loved this! Was curious about the bedroom set up…

Hi Shelley,
It appears just to have a loft for sleeping. That is how they have done it in the past and how it appears in the photo.

Update: Dan just gave me the following info:
Oh..and for sleeping arrangements I was told you can get 2 mattresses up in the loft - but you could also put 2 cots in the back room or have it enclosed as a “mini one bedroom”.

I like this one. It’s very open with the high ceiling. I like this about as much as the Tumbleweeds. The tiny house market is offering quite a bit at this point.
Thanks!

You guys rock!!! How do you do something this beautiful for this price? Can we have one in New Zealand? Just kidding. Actually, no - seriously!

Gorgeous! But how do you get UP to the loft?

Great to see and update on this project. Really nice finish work on the interior. I’m looking forward to seeing more on their website, especially the layout. I looks like the bathroom is curtained off. Not sure if that’s right or just how it looks in these photos.

Exquisite! Yes, this one looks better made and more detailed than the one on the website. Is the composting toilet in that wooden box in the bathroom? Thanks Kent!

Hi Julie,
I believe a ladder is used to get to the loft. I have not seen any pictures of one on her site or in these photos but that is how Jay Shafer gets into his and the Martin House-To-Go was originally based off of Jay Shafers plans at Tumbleweed.
Yes, Christina, I believe that is the composting toilet. I wish I had a floor plan but I don’t. I will try contacting Martin House-To-Go and see if I can get one.
