by

***Sold*** Cathy Warren contacted me recently and wanted to let me know that she needs to sell a small cabin in Zavalla, Texas (eastern Texas, zip 75980) as soon as possible and is willing to part with it at a bargain price.

The cabin is not tiny but is small at 1000 square feet. A 3 bedroom, 2 story built in 2006. Located on 15 beautiful acres. Cathy also says the land has a creek next to this parcel.

Located in Angelina National Forest and eight miles to a lake. It is private and convenient. 2 and 1/2 miles from city limits. The cabin needs septic put in, also needs some paint on the porch and deck and some TLC.

Methodist Cottage Community

by

Ed sent me these pictures of an Upstate New York Methodist Cottage Community. Ed says that it’s a great little place and strangely reminds him of Jon Abram’s (South Mountain Company, “The Company We Keep”) co-housing “development” on Marthas Vineyard.

Ed is not sure how many of the places are winterized, as the road isn’t maintained in the winter. It is just a charmed place. He is not sure how many of the other Methodist Camps were as large but this is bigger than several others he has seen.

I personally think these are great examples of little houses  or cabins that were made at least 50 years ago and we can learn from their design. Ed was not able to get any interior photos, so you will have to use your imagination.

Allwin Prefab Summer Cottage

by

I saw this deep blue prefab summer house on a website called Allwin, a Chinese company that develops, designs and manufactures prefabricated buildings.

Their CH23 mobile house unit is a 20 foot-container made of light steel. The house includes one bedroom, one bathroom and an open kitchen. The total area is 15 meters square. It’s suitable for any climate and location.

There is modern styling in the bathroom and kitchen and the windows and doors allow for ample sunshine and beautiful panoramic views.

Allwin really offers a huge selection of prefab housing ranging from small summer houses and tea houses to hotels and apartment buildings. They even have a mobile cottage that looks surprisingly like the Lodge on Wheels. Their website is a little difficult to wade through for English speakers and their information is lacking, but some of their designs are eye-catching. You can contact them directly on their website for design and shipping questions.

Allwin was established in 1997 and feels it is their duty to create ecological construction and high quality buildings.Their products are prefabricated in local factories and the design can be individualized and made to withstand earthquakes, hurricanes or other disasters.

Roth Mobile Montana Cabin

by

This is the third in a series that I have done showcasing some of  Montana Mobile Cabins, the company that first inspired me to start writing about tiny homes and cabins. This cabin is called the Roth cabin and it is located somewhere in Montana. I was not given the details as to where.

The Roth cabin is an 18′ x 24′ cabin with a full loft, kitchen, bath, and great room. Made with full logs and rustic interior rough cut boards for cabinets, etc. It appears the owners went for modern stainless steel appliances which adds a modern touch to the cabin.

Cabana Village Kits

by

Last year I did a small post on Cabana Village Garden Buildings, and since then their tiny cabin kit gallery has grown.  I thought the Tiny House readers would get a kick out of some of Cabana Village’s latest designs. Their website also features an interactive design center so you can customize your cabin kit.

Cabana Village builds cabin kits and cottage bunkies to be used as weekenders, lakeside cottages, starter cabins or backyard retreats. They also build pool houses, sheds, garden studios and garage kits. The cabins, cottages and bunkies feature cedar doors, windows and trim and are available in cedar or maintenance-free Canexel siding. All their cabanas have 1/2″ plywood roof sheathing and 2×4 SPF framing. With their sturdy construction and use of quality materials, extensive pre-fabrication, ease of assembly, and attractive design, their possible uses are only limited by your imagination.

If your dream home still takes on the shape of a mushroom or a Hobbit house, maybe one of these dome homes by Curved by Design will fit your bill. Curved By Design, Inc. is based in British Columbia, Canada and they design and build small garden or backyard domes, cottages and guest houses for recreational and tourist properties.

Their smallest design is the Garden/Backyard Dome which is approximately 12 feet in diameter, provides 100 square feet of floor space and can be built on a small stem wall to provide additional height. The advantage of this size dome is that it falls under building permit requirements and yet provides a spacious and calm ambience. Curved by Design also features two small designs: the 24 Foot Open Plan dome which is ideal as a relaxing yoga studio, a spacious conference room, or a guest house and the 24 Foot One Bedroom dome which can accomodate one spacious bedroom, a full bath and kitchen, a cozy living room and plenty of storage.
