Love this house’s clean, minimalistic look. So refreshing after seeing so many tiny houses stuffed to the gills with so many finishes/surfaces and possessions.
It's a lovely home no matter how close you are to your parents. Although I too would prefer a shower and bathroom it's great you have your folks nearby makes family gatherings a bit easier.

Maybe soon she can have a small bathroom added with shower, toilet and small sink w/small cabinet.That could be a goal for her.
I loved this video. This is how the new Nuclear Family lives. You have your own place but you're still close to your family. Not for everyone, but in these odd times having your tribe around can be a survival essential. And how nice to see a family that wants to stick together.
That’s so true about purging. My son kept bugging me to buy a big house. Then, he went to Costa Rica and experienced how many people live with almost nothing. My son is very grateful of what we have now and is now content living in a 4-bedroom house (small bedrooms). I think people need to travel abroad and see what other people have in other countries.
Beautiful home. I would add a small bathroom but to each their own. Beautiful job.
Her dog is super cute!! Great job on her home. It’s very lovely. She did a great job! Very neat, clean, organized. Glad that she is thinking of her safety and incorporated safety features. It’s also dark much of the day in the winter so the flood lights are a great idea.
Jodie has such a nice personality. Beautiful location on the lake too.
I love that she has a cassette collection! Love her style and her hair is gorgeous! Great use of space!
really like her home and how practical she is. looks like the most perfect plot of land🍂☕️🍂
I like the fact that she mentions both safety and defense against wild animals and humans. Truly a wise woman.
Have you considered using a "chamber pot" similar to what folks used to do before they had indoor toilets to pee in late at night rather than trekking out in the cold weather with the moose and bear, better yet, a portable diverted composting toilet?

This is in my top three favorite tiny house tour videos--a place I could actually see myself living in! The owner did an exceptional job--I especially love the kitchen and the overall main floor layout. Really well done!
She still has the comfort of her parents close. Probably free land use too.

And her parents electric. Guess I'm in a cynical mood....she really has it easier than others who really are on their own.....but the outhouse?????No Way😖....and a bucket for gray water...carry a jug of water...no thanks. She does rough it but mom and dad are there to help. So many of these small house owners have family members who are in the construction business. Makes it 100% easier to consider. Hunting.....keeps meat stored at her parents I suppose. Soooo...still dependant on parents....but that's not all bad. Beautiful area 😊

It is a plus knowing someone who will let you use a part of their land, but not all of us are that fortunate. I'm quickly realizing my dream of my very own tiny home fading away due to the fact there's no available land around in my area to even put one of these homes on and I don't mean rent a space in a park (I'm currently in an apartment...been there, done that). Ridiculous zoning restrictions plus developers buying up the land to build horrid cookie cutter houses is very depressing, so where are people who want their OWN tiny home on our OWN land supposed to go? We are not rich, just everyday people struggling wanting to fulfill our lives with simple living in a tiny home. Definitely a dream crusher.
It looks cozy and comfortable, but I don’t think I could live in it. LOL 😆. Maybe there should be a small deck on the side which could be attached to the outhouse (making the outhouse closer). Then maybe it would slow down the moose traffic between the buildings...😁.

I lived in a shed alone outside the main house when I was 9-14, and the outhouse doesn't seem that bad despite what people are saying lol, even in the late night hours. I'd definitely need a wet room being in Alaska though, the hair freezing is no no go for me 😂 this house is so nice and looks great, I'm glad she loves it!

"The outhouse is not that bad", My wife would argue that. I too have a nice outhouse. Here's to nice outhouses!!!
Jodie: well done, on your tiny house design/build! It looks like you and your parents came up with a win/win situation for you both. You have your own inexpensive and efficient way to live, your parents have someone they trust to keep an eye on their cabin. Keep on living your dreams; life is truly too short not to! BTW: I had to use an outhouse for about 2 years. It isn't as bad as people think, as long as you set it up properly for your situation.
I just need a comfortable place to exist I love that speech that's what a lot of people need to realise and life will be a lot easier
Really adorable little house with a stunning view! Have you thought of closing in the underside of your bed instead of leaving it like rafters? You could make them into doors, put hinges on them and pull the doors down for more storage. Winter clothes you aren’t using for instance! As a woman of “a certain age” and taking certain medication there would have to be some sort of commode receptacle. I would be doing wayyy more laundry then what I would care to be doing. You definitely are blessed to be able to have such a sweet little home! Just sitting out kn that delightful deck is worth it!
I love watching living off-grid videos but one things always come in my mind is how safe it is living in the forest where we don't know if there is any bad people or wild animals walking around your house in the middle of the night. And this video of Jodie and her tiny house answered my question well. There is no way you can sleep without having guns.

Yeah, agree. The animal AND human AND weather issues mean there's no way I'd limit myself to an outhouse at night in the winter, though. I would definitely have a cassette or composting toilet in a little cupboard for night wees--especially in winter. Obviously in the daytime I could go outside. The animal consideration is actually the most serious, to me. If you get stuck in the outhouse at night in winter because of an animal, you could freeze--it's easy to say oh I'd shoot the bear or the moose, but that doesn't always stop them as quickly as you need and a moose or a grizzly could probably just knock that outhouse over. Yeah...no. I understand the difficulties and expense with indoor plumbing but you don't need plumbing for the kind of toilets one could easily use.

Heck I was even thinking of a bucket for overnight and just get rid of it in the morning. I know when we used to go up north to the cottage before we had indoor plumbing, thats what we did. Most times when you prepare yourself before bed you usually don’t have to go out in the middle of the night anyway but if by chance you have to go...a bucket is always an easy and quick solution especially one with a tight fitting lid.

Jodie's house is absolutely adorable. So warm and inviting. Looks like she has everything she needs.
I love how she designed this home. Everything she needs and nothing she doesn't.
The Camera work must have special lenses, because that inside looks about 3X bigger from the inside then from the outside! This is the size of a shed I saw at Home Depot, and it felt a fraction of what this one here implies. I love the shelves 🙂 and maybe it’s not pretty, but that sofa looks so oh so Comfy and perfect! I would have to have the toilet inside. Not negotiable, at all. I love how her decor is what makes her happy and brings loving happy memories to mind. She’s done well for herself. Like most others tho.... family helped and it’s family land. I have no one.
Awesome!!! My sister is stationed in Fairbanks Alaska, bought a home and renovated it to a bed n breakfast, doing good!!! 😃😘
hahaha - was waiting for it, "and on the same property, here is my parent's cabin"
Jodie is wonderful. Loved hearing her talk about her lovely home and life! Thank you
Growing up in the 90s with a family of 8, We always had the stovetop in semi outdoor area so It didnt stink and smoke out the house. No electric kettle or any food heater inside the home, yet somehow all 6 kids managed to have warm formula milk before bed everyday with hot water from the thermos. If We got hungry at night We just made some ramen outside together. As long as Dad updated the Playstations and the vcd players, We were happy.
Loved the video. I also entered sweepstakes. That would be such a life changer for who wins. Some more than others. I'm homeless so it would be awesome. I have been looking at tiny homes and customs vans for about 3 yrs. Would be beyond a dream come true. Good luck to all that have entered.

That is a beautiful place to live, I love birch trees and the lake. It's so green. I would only hate the mosquitoes and if it is north enough to be dark half the year, but don't mind an outhouse. Especially if the shower is just a few feet away. Lots of nice features, love that couch, the shelves & cabinets, lol the coat rack. Really nice place to live
I liked the space could do a lot of different designs with it. I'd have thought living in Alaska she would have had a woodburner for those long, cold Alaskian nights. I'd defo need an inside bathroom, no fun getting up at 3am needing a wee & having to venture outside with god knows what lurking around. ( yeah you can tell I read alot of horrors).

If you prefer not to go pee outside at night a five gallon bucket is a great solution. Put natural wood shavings or pine cat litter in it if you are squeamish. Line it with a trash bag if you must. I would not go to the outhouse at night in a land where bears, wolves and moose are a danger. Peace is worth a bit of struggle...
Love the loveseat! Exquisitely designed space on this one! 😉🇨🇦
Beautiful location, i love your ideas of bedroom and livingroom furniture really keeps it cozy as well as comfortable.
This adorable!! She did a great job!! Beautiful scenery, such a peaceful place.
Very nice tour, thank you sweet Jodie. Very nice tiny home.
Lovely home and property. I could live there easily. Wow. Who knew a shed could be such comfort. Great design ideas. Perfect. I dont mind an outhouse either. The view is great if the lake with the little deck. An idea for cooktop is take out those burners and get an induction unit. Portable one burner or two. You'll love it.
That’s the best she shed I’ve ever seen! I would live out there too!
Nice home. Thanks for the tour. I would put a small wood burner in for heat.
The sofa is great, the best reading place!
nice touch with the cassettes and overhead bed........so many RV type ( for comparison) renovations plunk the queen size bed right in the middle of the confined space......the method used here is efficient

I've been looking at properties daily, and different ideas for tiny house building. She has answered so many questions and solidified for me that this is the way I want to go. What was holding me back is the long cold winters, but she's convinced me I can do it. So awesome, even seen her around town before🤣 maybe next time I'll reach out haha
