Deluxe Fish Camp

There's a cult following for Tiny Houses.

I see some here, but mostly they are Air BNB type occupied.

Neighbor has two of them and keep them pretty rented out.

Assuming it's a sleeping area up in the loft, it'd be a solid idea. Make a kit to connect two of them with a breeze way.

My neighbor in WV has an Air B&B...

She only makes about $7k a month renting it... Hardly worth the trouble IMHO.

This^^^^

But given the need it could work for a fair period of time.

Making in more like 25x30 would be much better.

Kind of a neeat idea, but not really new, just smaller that most other kit houses.

MM

since I sleep in a tent and even sometimes not for 2-3 months of the year, yes. cabin would be nice.

I think you just have to find your market. some feel a 1500 sq foot house is too small. some too big. some want stuff wasted on design and looks, others want it wasted on being as efficient as can be.

for the most part most folks want way more than they need. thats for sure.

I'd live in it , but my wife wouldn't. There in lies the problem...........

I would take one for our place in northern Idaho.

That Sir... is the core of the design.

I am building one for my own needs... 12' columns so a loft on three sides at 7' makes it quite "deluxe".

Went down that road, seemed like good money but it's deceiving.

At the end of 5 brisk years with 5 units it penciled out to be no better money than long term leasing without all the BS involved.

Definitely heavier wear and 100s of times more management intensive.

You Sir... are the 1% or 2% of the housing market that I am trying to service.

It is something I can build with massive timbers (6" x 19")... and two men and a backhoe can stand up in a day.

The roof and walls are simple stuff because the structure itself is a massive beast.

I agree Jeff... $7k a month ain't worth the drama for me, but my neighbor in WV is comfortable with it.

Who am I to judge...

What foundation is to be under this structure?

Four concrete piers (by owner).

Or 6x6s...

Load bearing is quite nominal.

Yes that would include a 4x20 walk in gun room. What more does a guy NEED? Add a 28x40 heated garage and you are all set.

Ive Built a Ton of Those over The Years. Last 5-6 We Built Was In Gatlinburg.. My Guys Use To Call Them Stabbing Cabins..

Zero specs on his stuff... I would like to see what in the fugg he ships as a finished "home" for $4,050.

That's the ADU, 300 square feet. He's one of those guys who would like to sit down in person with his clients, or send prints and talk over the phone.

He's not a perfect builder, but he's a good dude.

Looks well laid out and I definitely see a market for it.

Or 20 x 28 or more. Rectangles are generally more usable than squares in the building world.
