Woman Living Off-Grid in Her Tiny House in Northern Canada

- Carole Lyne Robin is an impressive and inspiring woman and we love that she has designed her life around what is most important to her. She's a freelance photographer who helped build her own tiny house so that she could afford to live where she wants (off-grid in the bush!) and spend more time with the people and projects she loves.
When she's not taking photographs, she's volunteering as a farm hand on a reindeer ranch, taking courses on how to tan hides in the traditional Cree way, spending quality time with her parents, friends, and extended family, crafting beautiful items, and connecting with the outdoors where she canoes, fishes, hunts, and hikes.

Carole has been living in her tiny home for over 2 years in a rural area in Northern Ontario. She has a solar power system to provide electricity from April to October, and from November to March she uses a generator. She uses propane for her stove, hot water, heat, and for her washer/dryer.
Her tiny home is beautifully decorated and has many amenities, including a soaker bathtub, a full-size washer and dryer, a 4-burner stove, 2 lofts, a cat walk ramp so her cat can access the loft, and a full-sized closet with loads of storage space. We think you'll love touring this tiny house!
We also want to say a special thank you to Krista for her canoe cameo and campfire stories, and to Steve for sharing his magical reindeer farm and rhubarb wine with us!
Thanks for watching!
Mat & Danielle

Could you please start asking your tiny home dwellers how much it cost them to realize their tiny homes? Knowing different budgets and costs would be helpful for all of us looking to move in this direction. Thanks for all you are doing...
no property Tax? Say less!
Grandma would be pleased that the special dishware was being used for celebrating life daily
I don't like it, but I respect those who do. There is no way in hell I am going to climb up a ladder to go to bed after a stressful hard day at work. It's not for me though I am happy for this young woman.
It's frustrating because they always want to talk about the decor etc, but I wanna hear about the exterior issues ! Where are you placing it ???? Do you rent ? What about horrific winds ? What about the restroom, and the details of it. Indoor plumbing, where does it go ? Do you rent the land and for how much per month?
This is one of the most spacious, organised and classy tiny house...
Wow. The house is lovely, feels very much like a home--doesn't have the off-grid feel because there are so many creature comforts. She is absolutely stunning also--creative, hard-working and incredibly beautiful (okay, I'm jealous of her hair also). What a wonderful little homestead.
I like her. She is so real and independent, but still cares about people. LOVE the big kitchen and bathroom, and that tub is a MUST!
It doesn't seem like a Tiny House at all! It has plenty of space for what an average person would need and more. I love the white colouring that makes the interior appear larger but you can add bits of colour here and there to jazz things up a bit if desired. Honestly, what more does a person need? This would make me more than happy. Thanks for showing us inside your comfy home, Kris from Oz.
I love that she knows how to utilize resources very well. I think she's my favorite. Also i like her mindset.
One of my favorite tiny houses ever, love the metal farm store bath tub, love the cat walk, love that she is on a septic and has well water. BTW, although she clearly loves solitude, she does not let that isolate her and she goes out of her way to be a part of a community---kudos!
"the further into the woods, the farther away from people".... ahhh.. you're living my dream. I love being a loner and surrounded by nature. One day when the kids are off to college, I'm going to live out this dream. Beautiful home and location.
She’s a very beautiful young lady. Not just physically either. It’s from the inside out.
"Carole Lyne Robin is an impressive and inspiring woman..." That's an understatement. Not to mention how articulate and artistic she is. What a beautiful small home she and her dad built way up in Northern Ontario. No fear of living through a winter all on her own (with her nifty cat). Great post!
Currently virtually immobile, I watch a lot of these videos and this is without question the best designed and organised tiny home. She seems to live an ideal life With a wonderful mix
This is the only tiny home I've seen so far that I could live in comfortably. I just love the layout, especially the kitchen, the bathroom, and the kitty. If you get a dog and s/he doesn't get along with kitty, I'll take her! 😻
I've watched lots of videos on tiny homes and I like this one the best. This home is very well-designed with lots of storage and I like that it has energy options. She's put a lot of thought into everything. Nice to see her enjoying her life and living sensibly. Nice cat, too.
I really enjoyed this. She seems so at peace.
And she hunts too 😲. 🦌👒🎩. And carries a boat, rows alone and feeds the deers. ☺️
This is amazing! Absolutely idyllic...
