There is a new company in Texas building tiny houses their name is Texas Cozy Cabins. I have not had any success getting in contact via email, but decided to go ahead and share their work. One of our readers, Felix, has seen them in person and was very impressed.
Here is what the company says about themselves: Texas Cozy Cabins is a Texas manufacturer that specializes in small cabins for your larger than life living. We offer the highest quality construction on finished and unfinshed cabin homes in the Central Texas region. Texas Cozy Cabins offers a wide selection of designs and styles to meet your every need.

Neatly put together.
The photos leave me wishing for sunny days… My shop is surrounded by mud.
A note: The exposed purlins (on the porch) typically rot in wet climates like the Pacific Northwest. Just wanted to note that for those interested in self building… And collecting style ideas. Amazing how many of those i see rotting in olympia!
Good luck!
Are the purlins the porch posts? I hear so much about rot and water egress in the PacNorWest, it would be great if builders out here could put together a design or list of must haves that addresses the water issues particular to our rainy climate sometime.
terminalcitygirl, I like that idea. I’m planning on getting a tiny house in the future, and it may potentially end up in the Pacific Northwest. I’m not used to climates that rainy, and have no idea what to look for to make sure it doesn’t rot.
It would be two lists since tiny house on a foundation has different moisture issues and solutions to tiny house on a trailer. Example for trailers would be splash up from the road rotting out your floor.
They’ll only rot if not properly maintained. Seems like a good quality build…unlike some other houses…
In coastal BC it’s the same thing, pretty much everything needs it’s own version of a rain poncho, rain pants and gumboots if it’s going to be outside. You also need to make sure there’s no easy way for the water to travel inside along the bottom of things. Amazing how it does that. Aqua breaks if you will, like thermal breaks only different. Flashing, flashing and more flashing but also making sure if water ever does (heaven forfend!) get in that it can also get out or dry out. Sideways rain is bad but sideways wicking water is insidious.
Kent – I thought you said you would credit photographers from now on.
My mess up, I was rushed this morning to get it up and it slipped passed me. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Perfect size for what I’m looking for! Looks like it’s about 12’x16′ ? I’m not such a fan of the interior wall finish, but to each their own. I imagine they’d place these on sonotubes or piers. It would need to be modified if built here in Alaska. 2×6 walls to accommodate more insulation and wider rafters for our heavy snow loads. I would also need to bolt it to the foundation so it wouldn’t blow away in the wind!
I love the look of the home. Since, I lived in Texas for a few years it reminds me of the state! I wouldn’t change a thing. Nice look…and affordable. I checked out the website and called with no problems.
Cute house. I wish there were a photo of the living area. I like the kitchen layout although I never really like those tiny sinks.
I have to admit, I’m always annoyed by statements like “All of our structures are built with quality materials and hand-crafted with care and a sense of pride that can only be found in Texas.” Really? No one else can build a quality structure with care and a sense of pride? I admit, I’m being a bit petty but I just find statements like that so off-putting.
Ive been on Kent’s tail to get Texas cozy cabins featured. 😉 I did see both cabins in person in the small town of Bastrop TX and was very impressed. Lory is right about how affordable these little homes are and I also wouldn’t change a thing about a Texas cozy cabin. Thanks Kent for the effort you put into this blog and even accommodating our requests. Oh and Kent… Maybe try calling them somewhe down the road for an update. :p
I find the first picture most interesting. So far I thought there were two ways to move a tiny house — it’s on a trailer or on skids. This appears to have wheels on the back end only? Their website has a couple more pics, but no detail about it. I like this idea…at least it’s one more way to be mobile.
Andy,
One of the first things I noticed as well. I have moved 5 (small) buildings on skids and one on a trailer. That set up looks pretty slick.
Great little cabins. Nice to see something that is not 8ft. wide mounted on a trailer. Price is also very low, approx. $125/sq.ft. for the smaller size. Proves that $300/sq.ft is not the norm for a tiny house.
“…built with quality materials and hand-crafted with care and a sense of pride that can only be found in Texas”.
Now I remember why, despite not wanting to, I end up annoyed with every Texan I meet.
Texans sometimes forget that pride is a sin! 😉
These look way too close to Tiny Texas Houses to me. Same interior design as a lot of their models, similar name… it looks like they are just undercutting TTH by not using the neat old materials and selling for less because of it.
You are right…I saw that this was a new venture by Tiny Texas Houses in a article the last couple of months
For my aesthetic, this might be the perfect house. Beautiful!!
Really nice-looking. I like them and the prices too.
These cabins are near where I live. They are 10 time more functional than the Tiny Texas Houses (repurposing old materials may look cool but it does not mean it works better).
As far as the Texas Pride thing. If you dont live here you just would’nt understand!!
Elgin Texas gets about 32 inches of rain a year average. Most of that falls in a few rain events. We are not dealing with constant rain here. Almost constant sunshine though.
Re: “I have not had any success getting in contact via email…” That worries me.
I think he is more prone to answer phone calls according to the person who gave me his website. I need to try and make contact and see if I can get an update.
this is one of your less informative poasts Kent. 🙁
Nice. I had read about these long ago in another publication. Glad I have mine, here in Arkansas, paid off in CASH.

Do you have a location to see your house models. How do you normally sell your units?
If yoou have children, be sure you secure any area where you have these hazardous materials stored,
i. Thhe another benefit from this really is, people taking help
with the home care personnel don’t have too follow different routine and never have to adopot foor various atmosphere.
It also helps you decrease the number of people who
employeed to tackle one particular patient with a
time.
