My Tiny Cabin in the Woods

- Here is my cabin in the woods. It has been under construction for 2 years now and is coming along. It is 10 feet by 24 feet. It is fully insulated and off grid. I've learned so much from constructing it and had a lot of fun in the process. Follow me in this video as I give you a tour!
Thumbs up for actually putting it in the woods, instead of saying it's in the woods when it's sitting in the middle of a field.
Thanks!
You've come a long way since this video, Jen! This was fun to see some 6 years later!
Such a nice feel to it all. Very peaceful.
Thamks for not putting annoying music with it..love the board n batten
You're welcome. Glad you like it
Yes I hate when people do that too. Lol
I liked the way you spaced the trees. You didn't wipe them all out. Makes for beautiful scenery and encourages wildlife. Nice job.
That is awesome 👍👌👏👊👊🇨🇦🌲🛶🎣🐝🦅❤!!
Thanks!
If I had a cabin like that, my biggest problem would be that I would never leave! Very nice, I hope you make more videos of it this year :)
Hi Colin, it is very hard to leave it and get back to the grind of the city. I have more videos on the way about it. Now I have some videos about gardening and planting a windbreak in the field. I shot some more indoor video updates that should be up in a while. Jen.
TheWildYam Sounds great, I'm looking forward to them all. Have a great day :)
Beautiful. Enjoy!
Thank you! We really love this special place.
great looking cabin.
you are blessed!!
Thank you, I'm really lucky to have such a nice getaway.
Cabin looks great :)
Thanks!
A nice little well built cabin, for one or two people that's really all you need.
I appreciated hearing the wind song also, instead of a bunch of triviality about the construction of it.
Nature has it's own song, but too few of us take time to listen to the notes.
Best regards - Jeff
+SwampDonkey530 Thanks! I prefer the quiet tours, it allows you to take in more than if I was yapping away. Feel free to ask any construction questions you may have. Jen.
Wish I could build such a gorgeous cabin in the woods... thanks for sharing
Thanks Deanna!
Jen, You did a wonderful job on your Lil-Home. Love the Drop-Leaf Table on the porch ! Looking 4ward 2 it's progress. ATB Terry God Bless
+T.W. Milburn (skillet210) Thanks Terry!
nice fresh design, sure would have liked to see the loft
+Gerard DeFrang I'll try to do a follow up in the Spring or Summer regarding the loft. It still needs a bit of work. It's usable but the flooring and interior walls need some further work.
Found this through Andrew in the north. Thank you for sharing your peaceful cabin Jen.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour of the cabin. I am doing lots more work on it this Spring and Summer. I now have a full kitchen and the hardwood and slate flooring is next. Stay tuned I will be doing an update as things progress!
wow, what a beautiful little cabin, i love it it look's so cosy siting there in the woods, what a lovely spot,i am sure you will enjoy your time there, :)
+GooseHunter It's a great place. Thanks for watching!
In my youth, I used to say "get outta the house or you'll go crazy".... Now I'm older n more experienced, N I think society has made me crazy! Lol back to the woods in a (slightly bigger) cabin for me! No more BP medicine, anxiety or a#*hole boss to answer too, N never been happier! Congrats on a great cabin, learn all to live of the land respectfully n leave only footprints lol awesome job
So many wonderful things but have to say I love that screen door
Thank you!
1love this cabin in the woods wood love to have one to live in very nice.. ...
I think that is a killer cabin!
Thanks!
beautiful little cabin!
+204orin Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very nice. I have some videos of my process of building a cabin overlooking a lake. I didn't get the build started but I do have a spot cleared and excavated which I idid with my kubota tractor and backhoe attachment. Man I hope my cabin turns out as nice as yours. I am thinking of building with logs but seeing what you did maybe I will do a stick construction. Very nice job. I am sure you will have years of enjoyment there.
I LOVE the peace!
It is very peaceful there.
We just came across your channel and love your videos. Our cabin is still under construction after living in it for 4 months last winter. You are inspiring us to share our videos of our 'real' life adventures around the cabin, in the Canadian wilderness. Thanks for sharing your videos. You're awesome ! :) Maureen & Glenn
Welcome to my channel Maureen and Glenn!
Lovely footage, but oh! How I would have liked some commentary along side to help add interest and information. Nevertheless, well done and good luck! Looking beautiful!
Thank you. I have done several cabin follow up videos since. In them I discuss a bit more about the cabin and the surroundings. You can find them in my Tiny Cabin playlist if you are interested.
Should have shown the loft! Sweet cabin!
+Gordon Miller Stay tuned! Next Spring or Summer, I will do a follow up video once we begin more work on the interior.
lol the loft was the main reason I watched the video. .
I've noticed that men and women have different priorities lol.. Men film the construction aspects of the cabin while women film the view and decorations lol.
oh well..
Great little cabin! I have been living in mine for 7 years now... not quite far enough from the outside world but still very rewarding!
+Dave Wilcox Jr Thanks Dave, I see you have a few videos on your channel about off-grid living and solar power. I'm looking to upgrade my solar set up.
Yes I incorporated the solar set-up last year and have been saving a bunch of money in fuel for the generator. I decided to go with the AGM batteries to keep inside out of the cold and have no worries with hydrogen gas! Renewable energy is the way to go for sure...
+Dave Wilcox Jr Interesting. Thanks.
What a great cabin and a wonderful location. I have just found your channel and like it. I will say you have a little piece of paradise. I have only watched a few of your post so far and will be watching the rest of them over the next few months as time permits. All of the things you have there are perfect for what you do. Please keep posting and please share the wonderful videos.
Thank you so very much for your positive comment! Enjoy the videos :)
Beautiful spot!!Cheers!
Thank you! It is my favorite place to be!
Beautiful place.
It's really cool
Thank you so much!
It sure is nice there,
+Ron Butler Thank you!
I like the cabin!
+Bushway Thanks! It's my favorite place to be.
Nice, I like how you did the loft. Gave it some room instead of doing like most people and putting it straight to the corner.
Thanks! I'm happy with the loft arrangement too.
I thanks. I was just thinking about more head room. Because they are small the head room would make them feel bigger, like light does. It would cost that much more and would be a lot more comfortable.
Wow i think this place really best
Thank you so very much!!
I really like your cabin. I have a video about my grandparents cabin.
+Sam's Adventures Thanks! I'll be doing more work on it this Spring and Summer to finish the interior. I'm hoping to do another video like this once things are progressing.
nice cabin, great looking spot
+Wallace Vivian Thanks! I can't wait to finish the interior. Almost there! Thanks for watching.
I would sooo LOVE ot have a cabin like that (with enough solar to power it, compost toilet, well/rain water collect, and fast wifi), I would live there
That is our hope for the future. Feel free to check out more updated videos of the cabin from my cabin playlist.
How could anyone possibly dislike this? Where is this cabin located?
Canada
Me encanta!!! I love!!!
Thank you! Muchas gracias!
Nice Cabin!
+Dan Whiteman Thanks Dan!
wow it house of rest😍😍😍😍
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
I love the outside....it's gorgeous! Are you still working on the inside or is this the finished product ? You sure have a lovely piece of land in the woods.....it must bring you pure joy each time you drive up and see the cabin. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You! Yes, the inside is almost done. I have a playlist with all the cabin updates if you wish to explore it.
I see you have found it ! Glad you like the series.
Nice little Cabin. I don't see any heat source? Who helped you with the Constructing of it? Is that a lake on the other side of your car? You are lucky to live in Canada. I would like to hunt Moose there some day. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Elite Bowman. We heat with a kerosene heater for now when we visit in the Winter. My hubby and I built it along with some friends and family. It is on a river, not on a lake. There are quite a few moose here but the hunt has a few more restrictions lately due to a decline in population. Where are you located?
I live in Salisbury, New York. We are starting to get some Moose in this State also. Not enough to see very often though. I saw one in my field like 20 years ago. There have been a few around the area, I just haven't seen them. Me and my brother and a friend own a 24x24 camp a mile off the road for hunting. We see a few deer in there a year. Certainly not overrun with them. Thanks for the reply and again, nice camp you have .
very nice cabin only the windows are to big, they need to be small enough so a bear cannot crawl in. Also windows are a big heat loss in the winter.
+Newton Washinton I love the windows the way they are. I enjoy staring out at the forest when I have my breakfast
man your so lucky, that looks so peaceful. Id like to live in one of those but with water and electric+plumbing. That's a whole nother ball game though because the Floridian government pretty much makes it an impossible idea to bring into reality, well I suppose I could do it but I would never be able to have an address or as a legal residence.
Thanks! I love going to the cabin. It is really peaceful and quiet. You can hear your heartbeat in your ears kind of quiet.
Edward Berry excuses are the bane of the unimaginative
Nice little cosy hobbit cabin you got there! :)
+Watch Ryder Thanks!
Is there some reason you didn't make the cabin 12 feet wide. The increase in width would have used almost no more material. The parameter of your house is 10 +10
+24+24 that's 68. Making it 12 ft wide would have only increased the wall materials 4 feet and given you 48 more living space. Plywood comes in multiples of 4 ft so that uses the material very effective. The roof would have used almost exactly the same amount of materials. The place is very nicely done and very comfortable looking. Just wondering???
No particular reason. We are OK with the size as it is. It is nice and cozy. Thanks for watching!
nice.
Thanks Gary!
I have been really interested in the concept of the tiny house revolution, really cool idea! Will this be your main stay when complete? Carl the mad man sent me. Thanks!!!
+River Valley Survival and Bushcraft In the future I hope that this will be the case. Glad you enjoyed the video!
If you're not gonna talk, never mind. I need input.
You should check all my cabin vids. Lots of current ones . There is cabin playlist if you are interested
Question: Do you need to own the land? or can you just go into the woods and build a place/ live.
We own it!
I love spending time at my camp also. Did you need a permit to build your cabin. I'm planning to build a cabin on my land also.
Yes we needed a permit from our township.
Off Grid Get Away Camp check with your county seat and the building department. Tell them EXACTLY what you propose to do. Do not take advice from anyone else. Codes, permits, sizes of structures vary from township to township, even in the same county within a state! I own recreational vacant riverfront land in northern michigan and they are very specific as to what I can and can't do. Do yourself a favor; Visit your building department at your county seat.
Just some friendly advice...
Wow love the cabin! Is the cabin just sitting on blocks or did you use sono tubes? I'm building a cabin soon and am interested it hearing which one you chose and why
+Jon Snow It is sitting on blocks. It was a cheaper, less labour intensive build at the time. We do jack up the cabin on bottle jacks in the spring if the frost has heaved it. Usually not much adjustment is needed. Probably better to use the tubes.
I see a lot of waisted space. looks nice outside.
The cabin and the site are great. Thanks for watching.
Sweeeeet!
Thanks Dave! Nice bird in your avatar. Lots of turkeys our way.
home stead tours
God Bless You! Please let me know where is located your paradise?joe Alves.
Greetings from Ontario, Canada! Thanks for watching.
Too cold for illegal aliens
I would love to have a cabin like yours and am considering looking for one or building one, what would you do over if ANYTHING THAT WOULD CHANGE THE WAY YOU BUILT THIS?? sIZE, BEDROOMS? LOFT? ETC? THANKS. Sorry for the caps as I hate this keyboard!
Things I would change is to make a poured base for it instead of the blocks and placing the windows a bit differently.
Maybe I missed it, but with all those trees, you need a wood stove.
Still working on the heating situation. I need to apply for a permit for that, get an inspection etc.. Also the wood stove for building code takes up a lot of space in my tiny cabin.
You are doing it the correct way by building with the necessary permits. Thanks for the reply.
(This is the first one of yours I've seen.) How cold are the winters? I didn't see any insulation.
Very cold. Down to -30C occasionally to -40C. The cabin is well insulated... floor, ceiling and walls. Check out some of my newer cabin vids including the build discussion in my cabin playlist if you are interested in learning more.
...whereabouts is your cabin...very nice!
Ontario. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like it.
i was so neatly done...
Thank you!
just a few logs would cover up them ugly breeze blocks holding it up.....just saying
On the 10x 24 is that include the porch?.
Yes.
Please explain your name. "The Wild Yam".
It is a name I came up with many years ago. It is a wild edible for women's health.
need a garden
Yes, many more updated videos than this one. Check out my cabin playlist. Thanks for watching.
Cute cabin but tons of wasted area. Maybe you can redo it.
Thanks but no plans to 'redo it' LOL. Check out some of my more recent cabin videos for the updates.
but where's the monsters
I think the sasquatch was hibernating ;)
Monsters are nocturnal. 😬
Do you get scared?
No. I really like it there.
Me puedo escapar contigo?.Can I escape with you?..... ja ja ja ja
:)
Need a bathroom
We do have a bathroom set up. If you are interested, check my cabin playlist for many more cabin updates.
Dude! You're creeping me out. I felt like you were looking for someone in the woods. Not a house tour.... more like, "Did you hear something? There's somebody out there! "
I do like your cabin and the materials you used.
Ha ha! I'll be doing a voiced over updated cabin tour soon. Thanks for watching!
I can look at trees anywhere, I want to see your cabin not the woods
This is one of my first videos. Lots more up to date cabin videos. Check them out in my cabin playlist.
most of your video was of the Forrest- very boring
It is a cabin in the woods. Perspective as to where it is situated and its tour are important.
Your video is really creepy
:)
