- Cindy decided to downsize into a Tiny Home after realizing she didn't need as much stuff in her life. She purchased a $40k park model Tiny Home and moved to Acony Bell Tiny House Village in North Carolina. There she is living her dream life, and has even found a way to have the Tiny House pay for her living expenses by renting it out for 2 weekends every month (when she's traveling).

This woman is so precious! Her smile and zeal for life are infectious! Many blessings for her!
Isn't she a jewel. I love Sunflowers, my favorite flower that follows the sun. And Mimi's lamp and table are amazing. Perfect.
Right!? She's happy. It looks good on her!
Agreed!
An inner joy which radiates ✨
I would not personally like “ someone else in my bed”.
I agreed, she's so beautiful
This is the most practical tiny home I have ever seen. No tiny stairs to a bedroom that is difficult to stand in. I could really see myself happily living there. Beautifully designed. The storage is a bit limited but doable.
It's not a tiny home. It's a park model RV. They've been around for decades. The title is deceptive. They tell the full truth in the actual video that it is a park model RV purchased at a RV dealership.
@@le_th_ in what " actual video ?"
I love the set up/design of this tiny home, don't remember the actual sq footage but I know it was less than 399. Sq ft. Park model tiny home I would love to find this for 45,000 $$. What a deal!!!
@@le_th_ it's still a tiny home though, even if it is a park model.
Agreed!
What an adorable, sweet, positive woman.
And very charming
This is a perfect floorplan for me being disabled. Just add a ramp to the deck and I would be all set! Cindy has made a beautiful home for herself and the community looks lovely!
I thought the same. 👩🦼
I agree! Having mobility issues, the only thing I would change would be to remove the tub in the bathroom and replace with walk-in shower. Otherwise, a beautiful, light filled home!
I think if you used a wheelchair it wouldn’t fit in the kitchen/hallway. It looks pretty tight.
I agree...this is much more ADA accessible than most tiny homes. Lovely home and lovely lady.
@@molliemae6855 I think you're correct that this particular layout isn't wheelchair accessible in the hallway. I'm sure there are some that are. : - )
We love Cindy’s house! We Airbnb last year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. It was so cozy and comfortable! A beautiful home. Thank you Cindy for sharing your home 💜
So great to know you stayed here! Hope you’ll visit again sometime. 😊
Are you able to stay close by when you have people staying? It's a nice home.😊
@@cindyballaro9748 I love your home it's absolutely beautiful. Can you tell me the name of the builder?
@@cindyballaro9748 Where did you purchase your tiny home?
@cindyballaro9748 love this beautiful Sunflower spot in the world! Wow and wow!!! Can you share the company's name that build it? Thanks a million!!!❤
Wow! That additional 3 feet of width makes an incredible difference. I have not seen a tiny home with such an open, spacious and welcoming kitchen with so many cabinets as this one has. I'm about Cindy's age, and her home includes all of the features inside one home that are often missing and have made me reluctant about everyday tiny home living. She has a comfortable and ample seating area, a dining table with 4 chairs surrounding it (vs a pullout table with side-by-side seating), a full-sized bath and shower, a plumbed commode, a queen-size bedroom that she can actually stand up and even move around w/adequate closets for hanging items. All of her appliances are full-sized and she has a washer and dryer. There's plenty of natural light with all of the windows. The additional side cabinets and countertop in the eat-in kitchen, as well as, having the space to have a large loveseat and chairs angled inwards, really make it feel so spacious. She could add a small cocktail table IF she wanted and that's a first for any tiny home. I like that the house lots are not on top of each other and don't look like a trailer park. Since hers is too wide to easily move, I do wonder how her "model" compares in both cost, maintenance and space to a single-wide trailer. I've not really been inside a traditional trailer home, so I do wonder what the advantages are for owning this tiny home vs a single-wide trailer. I've always lived in a single family home, but I'm getting older and paying for yard upkeep on half an acre in the metro area where I live no longer seems practical now that my children are adults and live on opposite coasts. I would love to be able to close my front door and leave for 3 months without worrying and I have little desire to travel in and live in an RV full time. Condos are available in the perfect size for me, but sharing a wall with neighbors isn't appealing.
Sorry for running on....
I really like park models because of the extra width & downstairs bedrooms. There really aren't any super tight spaces in one because they are designed so well. I hope you are able to find the perfect home for yourself.
It's good that your thinking about what would suite your needs. I love tiny houses but have mobility issues so the whole loft bedroom wouldn't be practical for me. This design seems a lot bigger and practical. I'm in Australia and sadly the tiny house dream hasn't caught on yet. But I'd love to live in a home and community like this lady. Realisticly it's the only way I could afford to own my own home.
You didn't run on! You're just having a conversation here with all of us. It's fine!😊
Absolutely beautiful! I’m getting ready to go tiny myself. A few more details to figure out.
Thank you for sharing!
@@legoqueen2445 It’s my understanding there are a lot of tiny houses in New Zealand so I hope that Australia follows along and allows more tiny houses soon.
What a beautiful home! Well planned! To be fair, the real sunflower is Cindy! What a joy to watch! 🌻🌻🌻
This is a lovely home. I am glad that these tiny house communities are popping up, they are so affordable for seniors.
Don’t say that too loud. The investment groups will try to buy these communities up like they are with mobile home parks.
I want one. I'm in a mobile home park in a big city. I want something in a small community.
Lady so positive and created a haven for herself and others to share. Wish her enjoy her place many years to come.
Hi Cindy.. I stayed in your home twice!! Loved it. I'm hoping to secure a lot for my forever home.
Where was this and how did you find the insulation?
This tiny house goes on my list of one of the best and most comfy looking tiny homes I’ve ever seen. I wonder how many lots they have here.
Beautiful
I have a park model similar to this except mine has an extra bunk bedroom. These park models are built extremely well with 2x4 walls, plywood floors, pex plumbing and are well insulated . My park model is on 5 acres with septic, electric and well. Taxes are about $650 a year. Not bad for NY. I use it for a weekend getaway but eventually a retirement home.
With all these tv and Mobile home parks going up in the rent, I’d be afraid to move to a park.
Wow $650 a year in taxes is amazing for NY. I know I live here. I know there are mobile home parks in WNY I’m not sure if any tiny home communities. Something more spacious than a trailer park and more for older generation.
@@elainehenning1387 Some of the smaller towns in the southern tier allow park model and or campers on property. They just want their tax money and anything under 400 sq feet is a lower tax.
I am considering NY for a park model/ tiny home. On private property. What brand is yours. So well insulated for upper state Y?
@@brendaschoenberger559 Forest River, the Summit model
I was loving her already, but when she mentioned Areatha and Koko, I was a goner! What a delightful lady with the greatest smile. Her home is so warm and cozy. I was smiling through the whole display. Wishing her loads of happiness.
I haven’t seen a tiny house this size for this price in a while 🙂 you got a good deal.
It's technically not a Tiny House, Park Models fall under the RV market, but it can be considered close enough and doesn't matter in places like this village. Just in places where they may allow a tiny house to be recognized as a residential home and even primary home as then the differences matter. Like WA state will allow a tiny house to be an ADU but it won't a Park Model. CA, has actually become pretty tiny house friendly with the state adopting rules that allows tiny houses to be ADU's in most places that allow ADU's and more recently counties like Santa Cruz has started allowing tiny houses, even on wheels, to be become a primary residence on a property you own. While other parts of the country may allow you to place the tiny house on a foundation to meet Appendix Q of the 2018 IRC to be recognized as a residential home, like in Florida, for example. Florida builder like Cornerstone Tiny Homes even builds both THOWs and Tiny House Pre-Fab homes that go on foundations...
Cost just depends a lot on how it's built, where, what went into it, and whether factors like depreciation and market it's in effect its price. Even Park Models can still go up to over $200K. So it very much depends on the details but it is possible to get almost anything to a lower price if you can find a way to choose the right details to get to that lower price...
This is one of the more favored tiny homes I have seen. Each space seems like a regular home, especially the kitchen and dining room/office. Love it♡
She seems so happy in this time of her life. This is the level of happiness and self satisfaction I strive for. 🙏🏽☀️❤️
I've found that a lot of the tiny homes built by/for senior citizens are so much more practical, comfortable, and sustainable than what I see people from other age groups creating. Cindy and her home are aspirational!
Being a senior would so love living in a home like this. No tiny home villages by me but looking at a mobile home.
What a lovely, charming lady. Ditto for her home! ❤
One of the best tiny homes for seniors that I've seen. And, the owner is delightful!
This home is just beautiful, I would love to live in it. Just perfect.
Hello Sharon how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
This is one of my top 3 tiny homes I've ever seen. I loved everything about it, especially all of the storage areas.
Perfect size for one. That deck is fabulous!
And it doesn't feel cramped!
Cindy is the most wholesome host! I loved watching this tour so much. I can’t believe she had signed Aretha Franklin portrait too!! Far out ❤️❤️☺️
Cindy is so charming, as is her spacious tiny home! Thanks for the tour! 🌻
Hello Suzanne how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
A large sink is a definite plus. 👍
Rolling office .. brilliant!
That is so wonderful to know that they've just left signs and the guests have been respectful. We so need to spread good news like that. 🙂 .. reminded me of a song by Anne Murray 'A Little Good News'.
Cindy is so adorable!ove your home. Thank you for sharing!
Cindy could light up the whole world with her attitude and gratefulness ! She is so endearing and must be a treasure to all who meet her. The tiny house is beautiful and I love that she's making a profit with it. Best of everything to you Cindy!
I really love all those windows! It has such an airy, open, light feeling to it-lovely home!
And it is refreshing to see the trust she has in people and that they've been worthy of it. It's nice to see those values still endure.
Hon, the park model, Sunflower Home is so wonderful. Your attention to detail, chef’s kiss.
I live near Mills River, NC and heard great things about this tiny park when the first opened (I was looking at tiny homes at that time). Glad to know Cindy is happy with her choice in the park model. Nice layout and everything is on one level. Enjoy the simpler life Cindy!
Mtn Lady do the same brothers still own the park?
Oh, that's the Asheville NC area. 😊
@@gwensmith9596 I know. Thanks! I am just slightly surprised that someone was so forward thinking as to ALLOW the community to exist. 🤭
@@Good-DaySunshine I believe so Actually. 😊
It’s so true people get judgey about tiny home living. This is a beautiful tiny home!
This is probably my favorite tiny home I've seen..... its perfection 😍
This is a beautiful, not so tiny home! It does not feel tiny. It has everything you need. Love it!
This home is beautiful and well thought out. Cindy is smart to use as rental to help with expenses. She’s also done a lovely job with decorating. It’s very homey.
I've stayed at a lot of airbnbs but I refuse to rent any where the owner lives there normally. It's such a creepy feeling to stay in an a strangers house with all their things around you. I kept on feeling like someone was going to stop by every time I heard a noise outside. Their family photos looking at you, the drawers filled up with their underwear and bras, and the refrigerator completely filled with their food. There really wasn't any room for me to put any of my own stuff. It also wasn't as clean as normal rentals.
I couldn't rent my own home out because I'd worry about people going through all my stuff. I agree that the standard of cleaning would be different in a rental Vs a personal home. I think I'd feel uncomfortable in someone else's home. A friend is clearing out the home of an acquaintance who passed away and we stopped by for her to pick up some items. Even though she had permission to be there, I felt so uncomfortable walking around someone's home. I didn't want to be disrespectful. It's such a personal space.
The only time I stayed at an Airbnb was in Quebec and it belonged to a family. They had zip tied their drawers and closets closed but may have left a drawer empty for us in each room I can’t remember. The house was gorgeous! There was a pool and a hot tub and fire pit! Netflix and wifi and a great kitchen. Definitely felt a little strange being in someone’s home, but it was so nice that I did not mind!
It varies, some people leave all their stuff in storage and go on long trips or only use the home for a specific time of year. So guest wouldn't know it was someone's home in such cases. Some may just rent a home out until it's paid off and not use it themselves until that's done. So there doesn't always have to be overlap...
Though, it used to be common to live in other people's home. People used to appreciate maintaining an environment similar to home while traveling. Multiple guests would even have meals together in a common room and it provided people ways to maintain ownership of their home in situations where they otherwise didn't have the income to do so. Such as widows, etc. to get by providing room and board, along with meals, cleaning service, etc.
We're just very anti-social these days and the way people used to live over a hundred years ago are pretty much long gone now...
My Aunt used her home as an Air b and b when she travels.....She came home from a trip over seas and the family that was staying at here house trashed it and left cigar stains in her carpet.....
My daughter had a poor experience with an Airbnb one time, but I would certainly stay in this lady’s place! I would love the homey feel
I've seen hundreds of tiny homes, and I like this one for me. I'm not about to climb into a loft as I'm disabled and a senior. She has a lovely place, she's a very nice person and God bless her.
Me too as a 76 year old mobility challenged woman, theres no way I could HANDLE stairs and a. Loft.
Omg! I absolutely Adore this tiny home!! It’s so pleasing to the eye on the outside and then when you enter you are just wrapped up in that homey comfort. It’s also pretty spacious. This one is a winner for me! Maybe it’s the house or maybe it’s her decorating but I think it’s a little of both 😉
love the kitchen and the table, is a very well thought home.
Love this home.
This is the prettiest most livable tiny house I have ever seen!! Great choices Cindy!!!
What a fabulous deal on an adorable tiny home! I will check it out online, as that's right in our price range. We love Acony Bell and pray we can live there one day. 🙏 Everyone seems so wonderful! Blessings to all of you! 🤗
Cindy is precious and her house is so cute!
By all means this one of the best tiny house I have ever seen,absolutely no loft to climb into this is oh so PERFECT 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
What a charming home. I love the fact that she has her grandma's antique table and lamp. That lamp is lovely. I enjoy seeing older people really leaning into these other living options.
A really lovely home. Looks very well built and yellow is my favorite outside color. That home would be PERFECT for me having a one level access. Sliding doors and pocket doors are a must.
Lots of light and I love the light color inside. ❤️🕊️
I love the house and tour, and especially the lamp that belonged to her grandmother- the beautiful colour fits in beautifully and it is lovely to have meaningful things in your home. What a lovely lady with a beautiful attitude to life❤
This by far is one of my favs. I love how traditional it is but also very personal with the touches of the sunflowers, autographed photos, and the beautiful heirloom lamp. thanks for sharing your home with us!
I have been waiting to see communities of these. Also I would like to see shipping box home communities. Affordable for people 💙! Very beautiful Ma’am 🌱🌷☀️
@@beverlyhord4398 Yes, Martha and her shipping container home appear in the intro montage on this video, and if you search the channel for 'Incredible Tiny Homes' you will find that Jenna has half a dozen videos on their homes and development. The ITH channel is very interesting, not only for the wide variety of homes, but the communities they have created for their home buyers.
Love how the bedroom is on the main floor. This lady is so sweet.
Hello Stephanie how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Holy smokes, I can not believe she got that house for $45,000!!! And partially furnished no less. HOW? Wow...I can't even figure out how they bought the trailer, materials and appliances for that amount, never mind the labor to build it. It's not my style and it's very base level finishes, but it's everything a person needs to live a very spacious, comfortable and extremely affordable life. Absolutely incredible deal!
On top of that, this woman is absolutely delightful. Her energy, her attitude and her generous spirit are all amazing. What a neat person. If I ever get out that way I'd love to rent her house for my stay!
What a lovely home! I can feel the warmth from South Australia. Blessings to you. 🌻🐨
Absolutely love it Jenna. Cindy is living her best life!
I watch these videos to get decorating and remodeling ideas for my 78 year old 864 sq. ft. prairie ranch house. For some reason smaller houses like mine are a bit unloved and do not get many videos. For those looking to live small, a park model is probably a better choice over a true tiny house. Park models are generally senior and disability friendly, and the majority of mobile park communities allow them. True tiny homes often face safety and zoning issues, and may not be built to any particular building standard. For those reasons probably a majority of mobile park communities do not allow them. Cindy is a sweetheart, and her RV dealer treated her right.
I just absolutely love this tiny house. The space is phenomenal. I love everything especially since there are no stairs. Miss Carol was so nice. If I ever decide to go tiny I want it to be just like this.😅😊
Cindy & her home are lovely ❣️ Thank you for the tour.
I could certainly live in a home that size, but I couldn't have strangers coming in. The extra three feet of width makes a huge difference.
Hello Susan how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Cindy is a total gem, here to shine the light! I can’t wait to visit the house! 🌻💎
I never thought I would like a tiny house ,but I really like this one
Beautiful Tiny Home
Thank you for sharing
I want a tiny home I love these little tiny treasures so very cute 🥰💝
Wow, what a lovely little home, I love her sunflower theme. It makes everything so sunny I feel.
You did an excellent job of answering any questions about tiny house living by giving a thorough tour insude and out. Thanks for talking costs and utilities.
This is my absolute favorite tiny house! I wouldn't change a thing except the location as humidity messing with my asthma.
The house is absolutely adorable xx
TY for sharing, Cindy is so bubbly and sweet! Best wishes to her!!! TY and God Bless!!!
Hello Cindy, Thank you for sharing your tiny house. It's so practical and adorable. Your a sweetheart, enjoy tiny living.
This tiny house is beautiful and is roomy love the deck. You made a great decision 🤗
I just smiled through the whole video. Such a happy, sunshiny place to live 🙂
She is so warm and genuine. I love her tiny home!
Cindy, you are so resourceful and outgoing 🤗 Thank you for this lovely visit.
Another lovely park model home, well built and we'll conceived. I also liked the community location, as well. ❤️
Hello Jennifer how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
What a lovely home and at such a great price. Most tiny homes seem smaller, with less storage and cost so much more. I'd love to have one of these and put it on some land because her lot rent is more than my mortgage was.
Best Tiny House design, I have ever seen.
Beautiful decorated, elegant and cozy.
Thank you for sharing. 😊
I have watched so many tiny home videos and this is by far the best one. I could see myself living in this house. Love it!
She's so happy with everything she's chosen to have there. Truly lives up what she said is important to her: hope and optimism.
Lovely home and Cindy is a sweetheart!
Hello Diana how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I smiled almost the entire video. She seems like such a wonderful woman. You can tell that she loves her home.
What a lovely happy lady and so pleased to show off her beautiful home,
which has been tailored to fit all her needs.
Great vid
Thanks for sharing. 😊
I would also love to see an earth sheltered home that’s affordable. 😊
I think this is a beautiful tiny home and just the perfect size to me. a tiny home is more in the regards of space size. Where you purchase it should not matter. Anything under 400 square feet to me is a tiny home. I love it and I think you did an amazing job at decorating and I'd be interested in going there for an airbnb just to be able to experience what it would be like living in a smaller space. Thank you for sharing
I have to say this is one of the best tiny homes I have seen. I loved that everything was on the bottom floor. That there was no crawling up in the attic for a bedroom. This is very nice.
This home is so beautiful...love that it has a real dining room table! I would love to stay here just to see if this is the way I want to go in the future.
What a beautiful tiny house. I would love one exactly like that one for me. It's perfect.
Wow! I loved her tiny house! No stairs is a big plus. Lovely decor. Thanks for sharing your house . I wish you enjoy your tiny house for many years! May God bless you always 🙏❤️
This home is perfect for a disabled person with limited mobility & a elderly couple...could be a great starter home for a young person or anyone. Love the windows the indoor outdoor feel...
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
@@larrybill2661 Hello...I am doing well & I thank you for inquiring...
Lovely home. So nicely decorated, too.

I agree, our host is a breath of fresh air and a delight with her warmth and sincerity. She is beautiful, and her beautiful home suit her perfectly. I love it. Stay blessed. Shalom and love to all.
Beautiful home. The park models are the best.
Hello Brenda how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I love this home
Beautiful tiny home! ❤❤This lady seems genuinely happy with her home and choices. 🙌🙌😀😀 Enjoy everyday of your life.
I also want to add thank you for allowing us to tour your beautiful little home! I just love it.
I doubt you could find any park model for the price you paid at this time, much less one as nice as yours. It is truly a lovely home and a great choice of area to park it.
You can find a USED park model RV for less than that.
I live in NorCal. Last month, there were 2 park models for sale at $65K each in San Leandro, already on the lot and connected, ready to be purchased and the lot rent to be paid.
@@le_th_ yes, these particular Kropff models tend to be cheaper than a lot of the custom ones that you see
@@le_th_ I need to check that out. Thank you so much !
Good job, it's something perfect for me. 😂❤
I LOVE this tiny home! I’m looking to get one some time in the future, and this one fits the bill. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a lovely well furnished home...and the tour was nice...a Tiny Home would be perfect for a family member...Thank You for sharing this video.
Cindy, you are a joy!
Love your home💝
What would a home like yours cost today? Seems like they've gone up so much. 🌻🌻🌻 Simone
Incredible price! How long ago was that? I havent seen a tiny for less than $100,000 in a good while. Where did she get her home?
The tiny home is beautiful and I love the idea so much that hope will be able to get one. But, $550.00 a month rent for land is just too much, in my opinion. Even though that includes water and other things. I think it is way too much. But it is very pretty.
Such a lovely lady and a beautiful, cheerful, spacious tiny home. 🌻🌻 The layout is perfect!
What a beautiful home. The kitchen is so gorgeous. I am loving the width of your home. I would live in a home like this. It's simply perfect
It's beautiful & it's only $45K ? How long ago did she buy it?
She said she was already in it when COVID hit. So, COVID hit inJanuary 2020.
