*** No Longer for Sale *** Yesterday, I was down visiting Stephen Marshall who owns Little House on the Trailer and he asked me to list one of his homes for sale on the Tiny House Blog.
You probably have noticed a few tiny houses for sale in the sidebar and I am excited that this is becoming a rather popular item and hopefully we will be showing more and more tiny houses as they become available. Unlike the other listings right now, this home is not a shell to be completed by you, but a ready to move in and live in cottage.
This cottage has beautiful reclaimed wood floors, and if you notice below the trim is missing in the photo it is because I shot this photo previous to Stephen having finished that little detail. It is completed now, I just did not get a photograph of it.
This cottage has a kitchen stove and full size sink, a bathroom complete with a shower and standard toilet. The loft bedroom or storage area is accessed by a drop down ladder that can be folded up out of the way during the daytime when the loft is not being used.
The cottage is located in Petaluma, California and delivery will need to be worked out with Stephen.
Stephen is asking $17,500 for this cute little cottage and I think that is a very competitive price for all the built ins, etc. If you are interested in talking to Stephen about this cottage please email him at info@LittleHouseontheTrailer.com or telephone him at (415) 233-0423.
Be sure and let Stephen know you heard about the cottage through the Tiny House Blog.
i think this is the best design for me becaus you can pull it with a 1/2 ton truck,you have all you need inside.i would have added 1 1/2ft. to the walls and made a less drastic pitch on the roof inorder to have a little more head room in the loft.pluss i would use the left side of the kitchen space for prep when meals are made and as a bar typ table to eat on.so the whole right side is were your burners and sink excet- are to cook.but the lay out is great.i would use the wood decore inside too.
I have a silly question for you. The drop-leaf table that is pictured in the shot with the ladder to the loft — is it handmade? When? By whom? I have one similar with leaves shortened that was built by hand by my great-great grandfather from an old oak tree on the farm he had in Nebraska. This is of same design and leg-turns as mine. Just curious.

@Elaine, I was wondering the same thing. I have a table very similar to that one, also, and I live in Eastern Washington (state). I wonder if it was a plan that was popular at the time–like the build-it-yourself furniture plans you can buy through the newspaper?
Hi,
The table is a standard Scandinavian design ca 1850-1900. Very practical indeed, made by craftsmen. These tables also come as gateleg tables, where you fold out the extra legs to support the leaves instead of the horizontal support that you find on the table in the picture. Gateleg tables are often much narrower when the leaves are not up.
Ingie,
Do you know how old exactly that gateleg table is? What do you think the price is? Thanks.
Nice house, as all those in your new sidebar. Have any of them sold yet?
Hi Bill,
These are all available right now, when they sell they will be removed and a sold notice posted on the information page. If you are interested in one just be sure and tell the owner you found out about it here at the Tiny House Blog.

what are the demensions? im planning to buy a tiny house to travel to mexico and i would like to know what is the max. dimensions a tiny house can have.i just found out of the tiny houses like a week a go so im trying to learn as much as possible of them.i love this tiny house it looks beautiful.
Hi Yes,
I believe the size of this home is 8 foot by 14 feet and completely street legal. Stephen has towed it all over Northern California without any problems or issues. Please contact Stephen at (415) 233-0423 for full details.
I went to the website, and if I am reading the diagram correctly, this model is 8×20.

It is a great size and configuration for me- but I need to wait until kiddo is out of the house. Wish it had pics of the loft…
The size he currently is advertising is 8 x 20 but this one is actually 8 x 14 and was his initial prototype. He does have an 8 x 20 shell in stock right now that I believe he is asking around $9,000. Again please call Stephen and talk to him if you are interested just make sure and mention the Tiny House Blog.
awesome design im from Canada and was wondering if its fully insulated for Canadian weather?
Where is there a tiny home neighborhood to live in?
So far this sort of developement http://tinyhouseblog.com/tiny-house/ross-chapin/ is all I know of outside some apparent possibilities in Portland.
Most just put their homes on someone else’s land… Workable (at least in the short term) but rather defeats the purpose in my view. Thus the very ones most in a position to fight for land use change, etc. wind up spending most of their time trying to stay under the radar for self preservation.
It is cute, the dimension is 8×20 ft?
How difficult would it be to mount some solar panels to the roof?
Also, how insulated is the structure?
Stephen the owner says the insulation is R-13 and it should not be that difficult to put solar panels on the roof. If you would like to talk to him you can call him at (707) 981-7703.
There also is R-15 insulation that fits in 2×4 studs. We had a regular house build, and the insulation was only $200 over the R-13, but sure made a difference between our house & the neighbors.
I LOVE this and it would be a perfect way to travel and save on money for hotels and such! Where can I find a similar cottage-y type building plan for around $10000-$20000. Please let me know where I can find a building plan of this or something similar!! Thanks so much! 🙂
You can also find this type of table at thrift stores and flea markets, particularly if you’re willing to put in a little elbow grease to make an old table new again. Finding a used table that needs a little work and restoring it yourself is the most cost effective way to find one of these flexible tables for your home. It’s also a great way to ensure that your table is completely customized.drop leaf table
thanks for this.
This is utterly *adorable* and I wish I had the resources to purchase something like this. Housing has been a bit of an adventure in the past year. I look at this and can’t help but dream of all the possibilities presented–if I get tired of being in a community I can just up and leave for greener (or in my case, warmer) pastures. I plan on doing something like this in the future and entries like this on Tiny House Blog keep me inspired and I live vicariously through all the great folks that have already taken the plunge. Great design, glad to see it sold.
Would like to know where to purchase the house plans for this cute cottage. Glad it sold. But I want one.
Wow
