Hope you enjoy a tour of this charming & playful A-frame cabin in the woods! We rented it for future renovation ideas of our personal small space A-frame home. 🤔Do you love A-frames as much as we do? Let us know in the comments. 😁 *Watch more alternative small space house tours:* czcams.com/play/PLlvBXhDyr9H0DjI0IWed5m3nvWj3S-C0e.html
@ Tiny House Expedition
I enjoyed this video very much! You both are so cute, and funny! But more than that, yes, more, the information you give to us is always needed and valuable. I love this A-Frame!! I would say that the vibe I got with the yellow and black is honey bees, esp given the honeycomb tiles in the bathroom! I love all the wood, and the beams, and the space upstairs, so much that can be done up there. I know it is an A Frame in the woods, but I think the owners should put a lovely chandelier over the bed for ambiance and reading! I love this place!
Thanks for sharing this and other videos :)))
@@J_acke we greatly appreciate the love and kind feedback 🥰 We do try to share practical (& fun) information. Also really like the chandelier idea!
Yes I do like them. I have always loved them since I was a small boy.
@@timothywilkins774 same here; a childhood dream home ☺️✨
@@TinyHouseExpedition Have fun making plans for your own renovation! The research is arduous, but essential.
I grew up in North Bend, and we used to go camping at Salmon la Sac, at the north end of the lake (yikes! In the fifties!). My very favorite lake in WA is Lake Crescent - I think there are some A-frame rentals around there, too.
When I was a kid, my grandparents built a gambrel house in the woods here in Oregon, with the same floor plan. Single spaces up and down, with only bathrooms and a small storage room / closet closed off. Built in about 1972. We loved going over there - like being at camp all the time.
What a lovely memory & charming place to make memories!
That sounds lovely! How fun :)
it's good to see y'all doing videos again
Thank you ☺️✨
Yes! More A-frame shows!
Thanks Mike! ☺️
Probably the best Ryan's Shed Plans on building a shed is hardly found ever . czcams.com/users/postUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG And Ryan's takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
This was beautiful, I loved that island in the kitchen. Can't wait to see a tour of yours when it is done!
Hoping to show a before tour soon! ☺️
Wow I love A frames because they remind me of the Pyramids . And according to some Ancient Cultures its very Auspicious to live inside a Pyramid. This one in particular is beautiful and so spacious . The Location is absolutely Divine !!! It would be amazing to stay there in any season !!! Can u please do a countdown of the 10 best tiny places loved by your doggo.? So ten best tiny house according to him where he had the most funn visiting!!!🐾🐕🧡🏡 ( the ladder in this one was a bit sketchy but looked very sturdy ) .
Love love that dog perspective video idea! 🐶 Also never thought about pyramid shape connection but another reason why A-frame design is darn enchanting ☺️✨
BEST BATHROOM HUMOR EVER!!!
cracked me up!
That “three quarter action” part had me dying. 😅
Why thank you 😂😄
I just really LOVED everything about this A Frame house!! Super cool!! Not really something that you see alot of nowadays!
Happy to hear it! We just can’t get enough of a-frame charm 😄
If you love A frames you would probably like " wild wonderful off grid " its a must see channel, fair warning its highly addictive.
Going to check out now! 😁
ooooohhhhh! I LOVE A frames! ever since I was a kid! I almost had one several years ago, but was outbid on the property after the owners already accepted my bid but before I had signed the contract the following day... ughh it was great too on 5 acres with a pond.. and had a massive basement with 5 bedrooms and a glass solarium down.. and 2/1 up un the main part of the a-frame... I still think about that house... I may end up building one anyway...
Sounds dreamy; sorry it got snatched up like that! Been dreaming about A-frame living since I was kid too ☺️✨
You guys are very fun, I thought disliked A Frames but you were so charming you won me over.
Ahhh thank you & happy to hear you converted! ☺️😉✨😊
I’m so excited for you both seeing the possibilities for your A-Frame!! I love when you do tours of your stays, so please keep taking vacations 😅❤️🥰
Appreciate the encouraging feedback! We’re down 😄😊✨
Even though I have never been in an A frame i love them
This is my absolute dream home. I would need nothing else in my life. Your dog and this home. But in Canada. Thank you for your wonderful videos. 🥰
🙌❤️ 😄 but your own dog!
@@TinyHouseExpedition I know. Yours looks so adorable. 🐶🐕😻
@@frederiqueeilishmcmillan8982 thank you ☺️💖
I never liked A-frames but this one is fabulous. The decor really changes the look and is so chic.
Happy to hear it 😁😊
This A-frame may be my favorite -- loved the square footage and open concept ... makes flow from "zone to zone" effortless. The indoor/outdoor vibe compliments the quirkiness and majestic feel. Thanks for sharing.
Well put! ☺️✨
That DOOR 💛
Right?! 💞
Wow that a-frame is amazing. The $417 a night fee is even more amazing! :o)
We hear you!
I think turning the master bed toward the window would be cool for view outside and semi partition. Beautiful home 💕
Love that idea Jackie! Why have the view if you can't comfortably appreciate it from bed 😀😊
I was thinking the same thing when the shot of the windows came with the view comment. I get wanting air circulation, but having what feels like to me as a bunch of windows chopping up the view doesn't work for me. A 'large as possible' single pane window, triangular or ____ w/b great. Then for ventilation add 3 or 4 sliding windows (depending on shape) spread as far apart as possible. The lower ones could be fairly low. The upper(s) could be fairly high, opened and closed with a specifically made opener on a pole or ___.
I was picturing the bed facing out and a tall clothes cabinet (72-80" tall) back to back with the headboard. It would add a bit more privacy for that area since there is no door & add needed storage/hanging space. It would have to be brought up in pieces and the assembled.
I love that vibe for A-Frame living!
Oh boy, I just LOVE this house and nature around it.
It’s dreamy! ☺️
LOVE A-frame's, child of the 70's here! Love the quaint/retro vibe of this house.
🍻💕✨
Love the A frames! My house is A VERY different design! Wait til u see it!
We’re stoked! 😁
i love A frames
😊👌✨
This place is so cute!
💛✨😊
Hi Alexis and Christian I love watching your CZcams channel, it was nice to see more of you both talking in this episode
Thank you Jenny! 🥰
I love A-frames. Haven't lived in one yet, but have plans for the future.
Amazing and beautuful
Wow!
A frames are my fav too! LOVE this one! Planning a trip to WA in September, might check it out. Christian you’re a hoot- are you opposed to sitting down to go ?
Hope you do! He’s open to it and definitely helps with our composting toilets 🙃😄
Beautiful interior design and north woods setting! Thanks for sharing this! Seems like A-frames are an efficient and inexpensive way to build a home that can withstand the elements, no? With a roof like that you’d never have to worry about leaks, exceeding snow-load limits or shoveling! While we waited for our house to be built on top of the footprint of the original doublewide, we lived (illegally) in our 2-car garage. It was makeshift, and essentially one big open “cabin” with a storage room on one end that became our temporary bedroom. For a bathroom we rented a porta-pottie outdoors and warmed it with a heat lamp. We showered in a kiddie pool in our potting shed, a long, snowy hike away from the garage in winter, which required hooking up a hose to the frost-free hydrant and firing up a propane on-demand heater for the water. So life was definitely quirky! But we loved living cabin-style in that big, open space and truly miss it, even though our “real” house has a fairly open floor plan with a loft. Life is simply better lived simply, right? Thanks for the Winnie clips
What a great way to make use of your “cabin” space & sounds like fun experience! Also probably made the house you built you built feel extra luxurious. 😊We just love taking Winnie with us ❤️
I love this! My dream
We just purchased a property waaayyy up north in Canada. I want an A-Frame, but hubby is not on board. He has a basic cabin plan in his head. It's a project we won't start for a couple of years yet. We are still clearing the land and building site that is full of thick brush and trees. I've always loved the A-frame idea...maybe because when I was a kid, my family owned and managed a KOA with the classic building with the A-frame on top of a rectangle base. It is a smart design, in my opinion, for places that get lots of snow...so would be a smart design for northern Canada.
An A-frame sounds perfect for your property! Maybe your hubby will come around 😉😊
Yes more a frames
🥳
Very nice.👍👍🤗. Beautiful Windows. Can see one's height is challenging when near walls.... I'm at the life stage of shrinking but still need to be mindful. Thank you.
Definitely need to be mindful 😄😊
Bawhaha 😂 That Bath Room..
Love The Both Of You 💖 💙
Beautiful A Frame Cabin 😍
This is such an awesome A frame, with an amazingly great vibe!! Hope to stay here some day!! 😊😁
Aside from tiny houses for smaller living sake, it greatly matters to have the outside of tiny homes look interesting and inviting. Presentation does count. You don't see such artistic, unique, and charming looks to the outside of most traditional homes. How fun the burbs/city blocks would look if the houses took on the look of tiny homes. I painted the front door of my yellow house purple and the flack that I got at the time from the brown, beige, & neutral loving neighbors was amusing.
How funny to have a negative reaction to expression & vibrancy, 😅 a sign of modern conformity for sure. But definitely agree with you on how the visual presentation matters. It’s amazing how much more inspired, inviting & cozy visually distinct small homes are 😍
@@TinyHouseExpedition Absolutely. Whenever a new Tiny House video pops up and shows the outside, it is like getting a beautifully wrapped gift. You can't wait to see what is inside. Also, when tiny home owners are enjoying their outdoor space, the exterior of their house is a backdrop for them that adds additional interest and coziness to the outdoor space. It is a win-win situation.
@@calvinsmyth love that & well said ☺️✨
Love A-Frames. I used design and play around with them a lot when I was younger. As far as the windows go. There shouldn’t be any reason why a window could not be added to the side. That would make the space feel less claustrophobic, like a coffin.
The more windows & skylights the better for sure 😊
Super cute! Love the albums! What a trippy, Blast From The Past, dream come true!
Indeed! We had a blast staying there and soaking in the vibes 💫✨
It's very nice
A very lovely A-frame! ♥
I'm still hoping for a tour of yours, even before you renovate. ;) ♥
Hoping to post the before tour in the next month! 😬😄😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition WooHoo!!! :D
Now, that's truly "getting away from it all."
For a second thought you guys did a paint job. Lovely spot. Great decor. Wood stoves are a must.
Yes! 🔥😄
Yes, I do like A-frames. When we get the 1st section of our off grid cabin finished, then we will start on the A-frame part of the build.
A-frame style appeals to me greatly, my biggest concern is collection of rainwater. In Australia, this is vital.
Good point on rainwater; not sure how to make it work with an A-frame. 🤔 Maybe if it was raised slightly that would help with a collection system but does seem less than ideal
I like how the cabinet handles mimic the half moon wallpaper design. I love that wallpaper, and the furniture choices as well. The tv console is my favorite piece. Dude, I think you may be better off sitting down to pee. This home is so lovely, from top to bottom, and wall to wall.
Good catch on that lovely design detail! And we think you’re right on sitting 🪑 😄
Great A frame love it
Loved this....my dream space, TFS.
Very nice
I LOVE this house!! So cool!🌻
This is my dream house! It's tiny but it feels so spacious❤️
Such a cozy inviting space! 💕
Great vid verry i depth overveiw and loved the sort of energy you brough to the vid
Thank you very much ☺️✨
Configuring a practical and workable layout is definitely a challenge in an A-frame home.
It’s tricky, for sure 😁
Love this!
This is unbelievable cute and modern ♥️
💕
I've always liked the looks of A frames. This one is nice. I'm not usually the biggest fan of yellow, but it really works here. Thanks for sharing!
Such a warm shade of yellow 😊✨ glad you dig it!
My great Aunt lived in an A-Frame on the Mississippi in the Ozarks in Southern Missouri when I was kid. It was originally built as a Fishing/Hunting/vacation house but after my great uncle died in a work accident in their 40's she decided to sell her house fix it up into living condition and move down there. I just bought 20 acres of land on the Rio Grande just south of Albuquerque. The original plan while looking for land was to build a tiny house but the land I bough already has a 16x30 building on it that was use as a garage or some sort of shop so I'm just going to build my tiny house out of it because it's already there and in good enough shape and will save me thousands by not having to build the structure, besides it's 480 square feet which is plenty room for me.
Glad she’s now closer to you. ❤️ The conversion project sounds great. Excited for you! And please reach out when you’re done if you want to collaborate on a tour 😊 tinyhouseexpedition.com/get-featured/
@@TinyHouseExpedition Oh no she passed away 10 years or so ago. I will I'm also thinking about filming it and putting it here on CZcams myself. I'm doing a complete budget build though, I'm going to buy my cabinets, sinks, toilet and bath tub used and clean them up and redo them. I'm also considering building a 2 foot bump out where the garage door is to slide my kitchen counter in it to save floor space in the main living space. I'm also not going to have a stove/oven. I bought a countertop 9 function air fryer 2 years ago and between that and my microwave, crock pot and electric skillet I haven't used my full size oven 2 or 3 times since, I'm not going to be hosting any big holiday meals and I just can;t justify spend $600 or more on something I'm not going to use more than once or twice a year. The one thing I will have though is a 3/4 size fridge, having food for more than a day or 2 at a time is non-negotiable to me because I'm going to live there permantely and I can always expand the bump out enough to fit the fridge in it, but I will reach out when it's done for a proper tour.
@@TheREALOC1972 sorry for your loss. ❤️ Best wishes with your planning! Sounds like you’re off to a good start figuring out what’s essential. If you do document on YT, we’ll be happy to follow along 😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition Thanks!
This is Gonna B so Good THE🔥🔥🔥👍….
Hope you enjoy it! 😊🍻
Love this
Love love this a frame!!
Yay! We fell in love with its charm & the setting 👌👌✨🌲😊
Wow! Definitely a cool A-Frame. Decor was "chill" and roomy inside. Glad you had a chance to try it out. Great Video.
Thank you Gay!
I have always been a huge fan of A-frames. They are such interesting designs. Your house is beautiful and you have highlighted the unique features very well.
Love it thanks. You just need a good aim😀.
😂
This is a fantastic house and floorplan. That bathroom tile is popping!! 🤗 I love it!! Great job guys. Yes, I love a-frames. And checking out all small space floorplans.
Happy to hear it! That tile had me swooning hard 😄☺️
You two are adorable 🥰 And your laughs are so so cute 💕 thanks for another great video 😊
Greatly appreciate the love 🥰
What a sweet description the two of you filmed for us! Love the claimed of this home, and your comfortable way of showing it made it seem possible to staybthere. I have wished for a tiny since the 60's. What a happy place to be!
Thank you for the kind feedback! Definitely a joyful place 😊
A frames rock
💯🤘
Nice video! We have an A-frame too and are starting to look at remodeling ideas. Thanks!
You two are so cute! I can't believe you don't have tons more subscribers. Do you have a video of your A-frame?
Thank you so much! We’re hoping to release the “before” tour very soon 😁😊
Absolutely beautiful I love unique spaces
Thanks for watching! 😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition you're welcome😊
Fun place! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for the feedback! ☺️✨
Si me gusta saludos desde Chicago
I do agree with you that a small A frame house looks cozy and cute but it has many issues that compromise convenience, especially the small windows( darkens the rooms) and small areas in the toilet due to limited space of the A frame house. Thus to build one must be planned adequately ahead of time to overcome such problems that hinders conveniences. Aside from the small spaces within the A frame house, if you build it in the suburbs and near in the city or populated areas in the tropical climates with warm weather, the air inside the place will have a high temperature and cause discomfort to the occupants. In anyways putting a double sided insulation and construct several wide windows will solve the problem. My tepee like or A frame house is now nearly finish and solve the several problems that were encountered by so many owner of tepee house and A frame inspired homes around the world. My A frame house is nearly 3 storeys high plus an attic with 110 square meter area.Thanks for the post guys.
So excited about your home design! Please let us know if you’re interested collaborating on a video 😊 tinyhouseexpedition.com/get-featured/
What a cool cabin-vibe.I love the 60's touches. P.S. Men should sit down when they pee anyways.It makes for an easier to clean toilet,LOL
😂👌👌
You two are just darling together ❤ I always enjoy your videos and definitely loved this cabin ❤ 😀
Thank you Nathalie! ☺️✨
Love the tour. This is on my list to build.
Right on! ☺️✨
Love the design of this cabin. Would personally only go with one bedroom if mine with a faulted ceiling. Love the open feel
We’re with you on the vaulted ceiling! That’s one big renovation we know we want to make on ours, because the entire ceiling is currently closed off
It would likely only require a longer water feed tube to turn that toilet 90° left so you would be standing out in front of the toilet facing the slant wall rather than under it. Yes, you will be face-to-the-wall, but not in it. I had an under-the-stairs powder room configured like that and it worked okay.
Good suggestion 👍👍😊
Yeah....I just about lost my dream vision of living in a A frame when i saw him struggle with the toiket:)
That scene reminded me of the movie "on bring John Malcovich" where every office room ceiling is 5 feet so you have to crick' your neck to move around to do your work:)
Ill look on this channel for fully insulated semi-off grid small-tiny homes which use solar/wood stove and other energy saving ideas lile window louvres for nite time cold weather etc
I absolutely LOVE A-frames & this house is perfect. I'd love something exactly like this for the husband & our 5 dogs. Only thing missing is a work space for me. I'm about to be a certified licensed Massage Therapist and dream of having a small work space by my home. This house, gaming table and all is perfect. I think maybe the Only thing I'd change is maybe a couple skylights in the bedrooms upstairs. But that's not a deal breaker for me. I've never been the the PCNW but I have always felt like it's always called to me. I don't know why but it just has.
You need to come visit! 😊 Maybe the 2nd bedroom could be a workspace??
I just LOVE your chanel! And this A frame house is gorgeous
Thank you very much! 🥰
Love your videos
Thank you Timothy 💕
I enjoyed seeing how this aframe was decorated. I live in a one room (with a bathroom) 28x28 foot aframe with a sleeping loft. My biggest problem is lack of storage. I am considering putting a wall up to separate the back of the house, the 1/8 that is not bath and laundry, from the kitchen, dining and living room areas. It could be a closet/dressing room. I seem to have a plethora of clothes. Loved the video.
Thanks for sharing your experience Marcia! A good functional closet goes along for livability so really like your idea 😊
Haha love the matching plaid shirts for extra forest vibes lol! My partner and I are the same, we somehow come out wearing either the same shirt or matching colors. Today we're both wearing gray shirts! :) I'm not a fan of A-frames, but that's a very cool cabin and I'd love to stay there someday!
😂 true intimacy!
Loved it. Now, toilet solution: sitting! That's what real men do! LOL🙂
Right?! 😂
I really loved that house, It was so wonderfully designed although the toilet may need to be reconfigured? Loved the hot tub!
The hot tub was heavenly for enjoying evening gazing at the trees & stars ☺️✨🌲
I love your channel!
Thank you Stephanie 🥰
@@TinyHouseExpedition You are most welcome!
Love an A frame! Do you have a video about yours?
We’re hoping to post a tour in the next month 😁😊
This is the perfect canadian house lol
Nice! 😁😄
Blessings, your A-Frame is simply gorgeous. What is the actual size? You mentioned the height is 10 ft...what's the actual width size please?
omfg my uncle has a (not so tiny) cabin there!
Right on! Such an absolute dreamy location 😊✨
Also, I think it should be named The Bee Hive ;)
Dig it 🐝😄
@@TinyHouseExpedition 🥰 Thanks! I mean those yellow honeycomb bathroom tiles say it all. I love the black Adirondack porch chairs also. It would be quite a drive from where we live, quite a lot of 💰 for a short stay. Thanks for sharing though. BTW, did you guys share your A-Frame pics video? I missed it.
@@J_acke so far we only shown a few shots of the outside but hoping to get the “before” tour up in the next month 😄😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition looking forward to it! The front is super cute!
I want one. I want to buy a wooded property and have an a-frame built on it.
Would a couple of dormers in the upstairs are be out of the question?
Definitely not! A great way to create more functional space 👌😄😊
Super cute, but too expensive for just two or three nights.
It is definitely pricey 😅
Is there a clothes washer?
Unfortunately no but there’s an outside there’s a shed where it could work 🤔
nice one. plaid lives matter.
🤘🖖
Do you guys still travel with your tiny house?
Our tiny house is now parked on our property in Central Oregon 😊 but now we go out a couple times of year for filming road trips in our shuttle bus conversion (still in progress) 😁
Did you know that it’s actually healthier for a man to relieve himself in the squatting or sitting position? 😊👋
Didn’t know that 🙃 we’ll have to look that up!
