Living in a tiny house is not for all because society has embedded pride to our subconscious that you have to live big to be successful but, building a tiny house was the best decision we ever made. Being enslaved by 30 – year mortgage was out of the question. “Less is More” so they say.
It is easy to live in a tiny house, space is limited but our house has endless possibilities and it meets our needs. The fact that we are not bound by the monthly pressures of paying the bills is our advantage over today’s bigger living options.
I am sharing our tiny house located in Upstate New York. We decide to leave the increasing cost of living in Long Island, New York and New Jersey behind and settled in a quiet town of Upstate New York. The house might be small, but the surroundings are vast and after a while you won’t notice the house’s small size.
This is the guest cabin we had made last summer by the Amish living in the next town over. It has ample space for any one of our family and friends who will come to visit and see this side of New York.
Its not what you have in this life, but how you lived life that matters. To be content with what you have is one man’s challenges in life.
Thank you for sharing my tiny house.

I absolutely love it! How big is it square footage-wise?
Its 586 sq.ft for the main house and 300 sq.ft for the guest house
Fantastic.
so cute, and I love the colors you’ve chosen for the walls.
thanks for liking it.
Nice. You may want to consider turning the bed so that it runs into the loft. That, or perhaps add some kind of railing to the loft, though. Would be quite a drop if you rolled out of bed as it sits.
And if you’re scratching your head over the seemingly random “though”… so am I, but this site does not allow you to edit your own comments.
There is a rail now skooj.
What are the dimensions of this tiny house? Cute Cute Cute!
I love that your roof line for the bed is open. I also think you could change the bed so your head is under the window. Either way, it is great. I love the seating as using bar stools is great. I would have liked to see the bathroom. My only problem with the Tiny houses is that you have no laundry facilities and I absolutely could not live without mine. I also have to sleep on the main floor.
But love your decorating and think this is perfect for you!!!
The bathroom has the washer and dryer.
Thank you for sharing about living life simply. I like your design because it fits simple living. For me, the simplicity of living small is not so much for lower living costs but for more time to focus on God’s plan for my life.
Oh so true what you said and thanks so much for sharing this. Namaste
Now this was charming, right down to the cozy furnishings! Good job Lynda! I can believe a real person actually lives in it!
Thanks Walter
I love it very much do you tink renting it to your neighbored from long Island ? We are from Levittown.
What a great place! I am looking to do something like this in the near future and am looking to be in NY somewhere. I’m worried about legality and building codes. Do you have to head pretty far upstate to do this?
You don’t have to, I guess check for building codes in the town you choose. Some towns may not allow small structures.
