VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
In this video, Luke, Lanna, and their little one, Claire, invite viewers inside their custom-designed Summit View Cabin in Trout Lake, Washington. With a vision of simplicity and minimalism, they transitioned from a downtown condo in Tacoma to a remote, serene life surrounded by nature. Their journey to downsize was driven by the desire for a quieter, more sustainable lifestyle, and they share their insights for those curious about downsizing to a tiny home or rural living.
Luke and Lanna discovered this unique cabin design on Etsy from Here About Home, and they customized it with features perfect for tiny home living: vaulted ceilings, expansive windows framing Mount Adams, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. This thoughtfully designed home offers just the right blend of simplicity and functionality, from a compact, modern kitchen to a multi-functional living room. Here, they cook, work remotely, and spend family time in an inviting space heated by a cozy Moro wood stove.
The minimalist kitchen showcases a black induction stove, subtle cabinetry, and local pine shelving. For maximum storage without clutter, they cleverly integrated a concealed fridge, an IKEA island for extra prep space, and a sleek Breville espresso machine. The upstairs includes a peaceful bedroom retreat with breathtaking mountain views, blackout blinds, and a projector for late-night movie marathons. Their custom pine desk nook and practical storage solutions throughout make Summit View Cabin a testament to functional design for remote work and sustainable living.
For viewers interested in rural property development, Luke and Lanna share tips on purchasing and preparing land, handling septic and water hookups, and budgeting for a cabin build. With their open approach to off-grid living, this tiny cabin demonstrates how to embrace a downsized lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.
Topics Covered:
-Minimalist tiny home design and inspiration
-Choosing between condo life and rural living
-Tips for buying and developing rural land
-Storage solutions and minimalist kitchen design
-Using local materials and sustainable cabin building

What a gorgeous family , cabin and kitty. I love the minimalist aesthetic and how simply this family lives. I love that they have future-proofed their lives, because they can build another slightly larger cabin when their child gets older, and AirbnB this cabin and the guests will basically pay for their new build. Who wouldn't want to stay there, with that incredible view? My husband bought 11 acres and each have our own little cabin and it is a wonderful lifestyle. Much happiness to this lovely young family.
Beautiful house and gorgeous views! Having a cabin like this in Washington has always been my dream.
What a lovely couple, sweet baby and beautiful, cozy homestead. Well done! Ignore the haters and their comments.
Really beautiful and functional design - is it a one bedroom? I wasn’t sure where baby is going to sleep when she out grows the bassinet
They did mention the oversized septic system so perhaps the plan is to add an addition to accommodate their growing family
I bet grandma and the groom’s extended family are thrilled this couple has moved closer to them especially now there is a little one
What a neat home and great family. Their views are dreams! Blessings to them as they reach their dreams and fulfill their calling on this earth!
Beautiful home and beautiful family 🤍. Work-from-home in the mountains is the way to go!
Lianna(and Luke), what a beautiful home. It was a wonderful surprise to see this video pop up in my feed! I’m so happy for you two. (Judi from ONC)
This must be the neatest cabin I've ever seen..beautiful build and the views are breathtaking.
Such a beautiful cabin. If only there was something like this for seniors in California.
Gorgeous home and family. I climbed Mt. Adams years ago it was my favorite night on a mtn, the sunsets were stunning. Enjoy raising your child in nature, what a treat!
Awesomely beautiful home. You should be proud.
Very beautiful! It sounds like a lot of money, but living outside of NYC and knowing what real estate costs in your area - I believe you got a great deal. How wonderful that you were able to pay off the property right away! Wishing you happiness, health, and peace in your gorgeous little home. (Your precious baby reminds me of my daughter at that age - same 'hairstyle' 🥰🥰🥰 Enjoy her). Ignore the rude comments; some people are just mean and jealous.
Love seeing this couple step out in faith take a risk and realize a wonderful result. God bless
Stunning. Best wishes to you and your family in your amazing home 🧡
We have lived in half of this space for years. Downsizing can really cut down on utilities, and keeps you from buying too much junk to fill rooms you seldom visit.
Beautiful little house and layout! Thank-you
for informing us about your costs it's good
to know what people pay in other areas! The
"I!" stands alone without any help from the"S!"
Cheers from Canada😊
Beautiful home and family. What an amazing view!
Beautiful home and love the serenity of the area. Where will your baby sleep once she is out of the cot? Is there a bedroom for her and future children?
We bought land in Hoodriver OR just a few minutes away, our 1.5acre lot was 280k so this is reasonable. If I was this couple, I would build a regular size home on the same lot and rent this one out.
that is as much as my house, and my house payments are almost too much. How does one afford 280k for just land and then have to build a house on it? I make 100k a year and I wouldn't be able to do that.
@@GaryMiller-z6t There are two of them working professionally. So it's simply not for you apparently.
what a wonderful setting and sweet family and great home. The cabin is perfect for the young family. Love everything about it. You are luck to own it, but you are even more luck to be able to life next to your daughter grand parents. Happy for you! Ignore all grumpy comments. Jealous people are not the best ones.
It’s a beautiful home.
Beautiful home and family. ❤
This is absolutely stunning!!
Finding Financial Freedom by paying $200,000 for an undeveloped 2 acre lot + an additional $350,000 for a minimalist small house build. I guess the downsize was parting with over half million in finances in order to obtain the financial freedom that comes with owning a small house on a heavily property taxed 2 acre lot.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Very interesting the way you phrase your statemate. Bravo. ✌✌✌
I think 200k is pretty decent for a lot in WA. Actually more affordable than other lots. They can most likely build a regular size home on the same lot and rent out the current cabin.
Perspective dude, it may be for them although too steep for you.
I understand 200K for the land. But how could that small house cost $350K. I just don't get it. This cabin is great for a couple but babies grow up and need their own bedroom(s).
Is this house framed in mahogany? 350k is a lot.
that is a great idea for the sink in bathroom. I love it.
Great purchase and investment into your family and future!
I love it! I could live in that cabin! :)
Our 🏡 2floors +basement +attic dormer is too big at 2640sq ft for two people. We’d like to downsize, it’s just too cheap to let go considering the $117k purchase price in 2015.
The simplicity of a small home would be great, we clean so much😑
Well done. I like it. Great views. And Claire is adorable.
Even her name is an adorable and looks just like her.
Beautiful home ❤
I ❤ it guys. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉
Lovely couple. Glad all the plans worked out for the land purchase and build.
Turned the playback speed to 1.5x - made it way easier to listen to!
Beautiful home!!!!
Awesome all the best 🙏🏽 🌞 👍🏾 👌🏾
Lovely, well thought out home ❤️
That's a cool place. The house and the outdoors. :)
$350k sounds expensive?! In NZ that would be the cheapest of cheap!
Dude looks like an athlete.

Nice spot, you did a great job🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
❤ your home and lifestyle
Precious family
❤ the bookcase - look for my award winning picture book: Mountain Mutts - Joy’s Tale
so 550K for a 1 bedroom and a growing family....
Beautiful cat
Shout out for T-town!
Classy and dope
Beautiful!!
❤ this!
Why is it so expensive to live in the state of Washington?
I have never heard of a remote Pharmacist.
Hi guys, super curious how much yo paid for the designs? So inspired to build something this size! Thanks in advance
Hi there! If I recall, we paid $2000. Plan is called 3/4 cabin by hearabout :)
Beautiful, but where's the baby's room? As the baby grows she will need her own space.
She will have the whole outdoors. She might want a treehouse or have a mini yurt or something but she can decides when she gets to that point.
Space can be converted
Let people live! The baby won't need her own space for several years. They figured this out, I'm sure they can figure out what to do in the future.
@@dawnsmith4275 I'm sure they'll figure it out.
So where’s baby going in a yr or so?
Nice man
I just wanna know where the baby is going to sleep once he get older
she
Very nice, but, where does the baby sleep???
What is the name of the company that made the cabin ?
How do you protect this from wildfires, especially with the massive fires in that part of the region. I want to do this but I’m hesitant. Unless there is a way to fire proof your home this is a nice setup.
They have a steel roof and defensible space around the cabin. Might also be a good idea to have a good irrigation system.
🖤🖤
Where is the baby going to grow up into?
oh noo plss keep playing the intro in the videoss
You will soon hate the vaulted ceilings. All your heat goes up and its about impossible to get the big cobwebs that will develop (i will not do vaulted ceilings again).
High vaulted ceilings,look good but you’re heating all that space ucan’t use
Why did he say "my wife's and I's" .....
What's with all the rude comments?
@dawnsmith4275 actually I'm just curious. Is that how Americans speak?
Nah. Minimumilist stuff is boring!!!!
Beautiful home. Still very expensive. But that Guys voice… like where is the personality in his voice. It was like watching a robot.
"Financial freedom" might have been misused in this case.
You’re going to absolutely love relying on a ladder to access and leave your bedroom.should be real sweet using the bathroom in the middle of the night. Heating all that cubic sq ft of empty space is genius. Simple minimalist is NOT 2 stories - it is single floor.
You’ll be moving in about 2 years - that’s a weekend Airbnb design. Not sustainable.
They don’t use the ladder for their bedroom. The bedroom is on the 2nd floor ..
The interior of the house looks cold & uncomfortable. Nothing cozy about it.
My god the term minimalist is so obnoxious.
His monotone voice is hard to listen to
Beautiful until a bear attacks them.
Why so mean?
How many times can this guy say minimalism?
