What a beautiful home! Well planned! To be fair, the real sunflower is Cindy! What a joy to watch! 🌻🌻🌻

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.

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....

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 home is just beautiful, I would love to live in it. Just perfect.

I never thought I would like a tiny house ,but I really like this one

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.

Cindy & her home are lovely ❣️ Thank you for the tour.

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.

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...
