Adorable Tiny House Built By Love, Family and Community

This tiny house is beautiful. It's cleverly designed, skilfully built, warm, well insulated and cosy. What truly makes it a home though is the story of it's DIY construction and how a loving and supportive family and community came together to make this young woman's dream possible.

This is one of my absolute favourite tiny house tours so far. It completely embodies the spirit of a tiny house and how much it can mean to someone. I hope you enjoy this little house tour as much as we enjoyed filming it!

My mom's family wasn't rich, but they were 6 sons who were all skilled carpenters. They would get together and build a house for each family member when they needed it. Family can be wonderful if they are there to help each other.

Everytime I watch tiny house I feel relaxed it makes me dream of having my own tiny house. hope to have own tiny home someday.

Now if only the entire world could treat each other like this woman, her family and community and live in that amount of gratitude, giving and humility. We'd be absolutely set as a species and planet.

She's blessed to have parents that were able to help her with purchasing/building her home, allowing her to have her tiny home on their property, and tapping into their electricity.

The way she talks about her family/dad is just so sweet and lovely. What a beautiful house!

This one brought tears to my eyes.. she built it with her dad, the love she has for her house, and I love how you see the peace in her eyes. This one was great!

Tiny house people are some of the most humble and warm people. Downsizing to me is a spiritual movement that makes you appreciate more the material things you have and less the throw away consumerist lifestyles based on wanting more to fill the void created by modern

Whenever he says "I would love to have a look inside". I scream "yeah...ME TOO ME TOO". hahaha

What a sweet lady and adorable tiny home but even more a testimony to loving relationships and kindness - made me smile the whole way through. Wonderful Dad too of course! Thanks for this - watching it was a real treat.

I love how close she is to her family. I miss the days when my pops and I drank coffee in Starbucks every morning and I lived on the other side of the city. He lives in different continent now. Family is so important.

If my dad and I built a home together, I would never sell it. What a beautiful space and a lifetime of sweet memories. Blessings ~

This was one of the nicest stories on youtube. Her parents are a blessing to her. First buying the land and then helping her build her home. It's especially nice that she can wake up and have time with them. They all have their own space. I love it. And what a nice place Oregon!! I would like to visit there sometime.

Favorite tiny house story for me, I think, because this home is not just a house made of lumber & supplies, but a dwelling place knit together with love. Also, in a time when too many young women wait to buy (or build) a house until they collide with the "right" person, this young woman has a relationship with family, friends & this home that love helped build, so she's not just in limbo, but living. I love that!

What an incredible home. It's amazing that they built this themselves for $20, 000. Beautiful!

A very happy Thanksgiving to all of you! This is a very special Thanksgiving for me, because it's actually my very first one that I will celebrate in the USA! I have an Auntie who lives in Missouri and I have travelled to spend the day with her and my Uncle. She has lived in the US for a long time, and this is the first Thanksgiving that she will share with one of her New Zealand family members, so it's a very special occasion for us. I think this could be one of my favourite holidays. It's not about presents or anything superficial, just good food, connecting with loved ones and taking a bit of time out to reflect on the things that we can be thankful for in life. One of the things that I am very grateful for in life is all of you who subscribe, watch, like and share my videos and contribute to making this show possible. Thanks and love to you all!

This has to be THE best tiny house I've ever seen....its got an almost magical quality to it... this is what dreams are made of. God bless this amazing woman

[emilyche]

At first it seemed like too tiny but it actually looks like perfect fit for her. It is really beautiful how her parents encouraged her into this. And her Dad going trough building with her. Perfect episode for Thanksgiving.
