Today we've got another tiny cabin. This cabin is completely off the grid
no electricity, no running water. This cabin is actually used mostly as an
Airbnb and so people come in and out of it. Nobody lives in it full-time, but it
is still really cool and it's really, really unique so I really want to show
it to you guys. So let's start. Whenever you drive in you come in and you see
this. A fire pit, some chairs, right here you've got a cabin with a spare bed in
it in case you have some guests and then coming on this way. Inside of here is the
bathroom. We've got just a regular composting toilet. If we continue down
this pathway we come to the tiny house. It's a beautiful little tiny house. We're
in Waterford, Maine right now and we're on 480 acres in the middle of the forest.
The tiny house and that small little guest house are the only things on this
land so let's go check out the house. This is the tiny cabin. It's a
beautifully made tiny cabin. It's 200 square foot made out of mostly reclaimed
material so it's very eco friendly. Let's take a look inside. It's got a very Maine
feeling to it. It really encompasses the state in the location of New England and
where we are. Welcome to the tiny cabin.
If you look to the right we've got a wood-burning stove, which is essential
out here in Maine in the winter. You would freeze to death if you did not
have that. The cabin is really well insulated so it stays really warm in
here in the winter. Come over here we've got a nice kitchen table with a leaf that
folds out so if you wanted to have guests over, you could sit four.
You got three burners on the range, propane. The propane is outside of the house so you don't
have to worry about leaks or anything like that, but it's nice to have three
burners instead of just one in a tiny house, that's really nice. We've got a
sink here. No running water, you do have to bring in your own water if you
want drinking water or running water, but there is a river just a hundred yards
behind the house that you can get river water and use that to wash your dishes
and hands if you need to. This cabin is used for an Airbnb so people are coming
in and out of it quite frequently, but it's really nice because the cabinets
are all stocked with the staples that you would need.
If we keep moving anti-clockwise we've got this box which is our cooler and
like I said since there is no refrigeration this will be your only
source to keep your foods cold that need to be refrigerated. If we keep on moving
through the living room we've got a nice little couch. Nice seating area to hang
out and relax. This is really cool. These are the steps and this section of the
steps folds down and creates a nice little table that you could use for
whatever you would like. Right now we've got cards on it and that is the first
floor of the tiny house, very unique. I've never seen a house built quite
like this. That's my favorite thing about tiny houses is every single one is very
very different because every one is custom-made. We've got these stairs that
take us up into the loft where the bed is at and here we are in the loft.
We've got a queen-size bed up here. This is a pretty big bed really comfortable.
I'm actually really surprised with this loft because it's quite tall. I'm six
foot and I can almost stand completely up straight which is really impressive
for a loft. The house is quite tall and that pretty much does it for the inside
of the cabin, but we're not done with this area yet because outside we've got
a shower as well as a raised canopy that's screened in to keep all the bugs
out. It's really really cool, let's go take a look at that. If we take a stroll
to the back of the cabin as you can see right here on the right we've got some
hummingbird feeders. In the summer the hummingbirds come out and then right
back here we've got the shower. This shower is a hand-pump shower. No
electricity needed, just take this, pump it up, you've got water pressure and then
you can take a shower with the nozzle here. If we continue around the back of the
cabin we got our propane here, just in case you need to replace it, and then we
keep going this way and we walk down this path right here and we've got our
raised screened-in canopy. It's very nice to come out here for lunch or for
breakfast and eat your breakfast up here basically in the middle of the forest.
You've got the screen here to keep all the bugs out and the last thing on this
property that I want to show you guys is if we follow this path here just about a
hundred yards we come to the Crooked River.
And this is the Crooked River. Really nice place to come and hang out and
relax, very calm and peaceful here. If you're into fly fishing you can fly fish
here. There are salmon and trout in the river as well as in the summer months
it's nice to take a nice refreshing dip in the river. I hope you guys enjoyed the
tour of The Crooked River tiny house. Leave a comment below what your favorite
thing about this cabin is. My favorite thing is the aesthetic and the way it
feels here on 480 acres of forest in the middle of Maine being the only building
in this forest it's a really unique feel. Thank you Lawn for inviting me to stay
here. If any of you guys are in Maine and interested in staying here the link to
her Airbnb post is below in the description box, but until then I'm gonna
hang out here for one more day and then I'm headed through the rest of Maine so
I'll see you guys later.
