It has has two sleeping lofts, one 8 ft. by 6 ft., and one 8 ft. by 3ft. The house is built on a new 12,000 lbs rated trailer, and can be towed anywhere.

The home features a full kitchen, including three burner range and oven, and a full bathroom with shower and tub. A fold down 4 ft. by 8 ft. deck, on demand water heater, double paned windows, and full insulation round out the house. Vaulted knotty pine ceilings with ceiling fan and overhead light brightens the whole house. Tough Pergo floors complement the living space. The house has all the necessary conveniences of a much larger home, despite its small size.
