I love how the cabin has grown and evolved as her life changed. It must be so freeing to not be limited to the 4 walls you start with!

To me, she's a throwback to the 70's era...people living simply by the work of their hands. It was a nice journey going through her home.

Watching my daughter work all day as an underpaid school teacher and come home exhausted makes this life style look heavenly. I was able to work from home and home school our five kids, so her lifestyle looks so stressful to me. My granddaughter is seven years old, and I watch her come home with home work, then there’s dinner time, reading time, bath time and bedtime. Mom still has prep for the next day, so there’s only a short amount of together time. Yet I can’t get her to look at tiny house living. She said she’d be embarrassed! Good heavens. I would live in one in a heartbeat! The slower paced life it affords is priceless. I admire this woman for thinking outside of the box. (And yes, I admire my daughter for being willing to work so hard to take care of our sweet granddaughter!)

I am one of those teachers who, like your daughter, works many hours. (Unfortunately, tiny house living is just as expensive as regular living on a teacher salary. Tiny house costs are high and then you have to have land to put that house on.) And that is the most embarrassing part-that teachers can’t afford to be able to afford anything. Been in it full time 15 years and don’t make $3000 a month-so sad teachers don’t receive a respectable salary. Your daughter should do herself a favor and use her skill to get into another profession that will respect her and allow her to spend time with her daughter. Blessings to her and all of your family!

Ya not everyone is as fortunate ad yourself, stress is a thing we all deal with and I agree that this way of living is simple and ALOT less stressful and is a huge reason that so many people decide to live "off grid" It unfortunately is only going to get worse with what is going on in this world and with shit like social media for example. 95% of today's people couldn't EVER live like you or I and that is very sad.

@@kellymurphy4632 Stop complaining nobody made you choose your profession and lady you STILL make more than probably 60% of people in this country now. And true "tiny living" is most certainly cheaper as you aren't just living in a small house yet you change the way you live and spend in general. Think you still have some stuff to learn about the lifestyle lady and I'm not being rude.

Your statement of having the bath away from the toilet area and having the toilet away from the house is what so many people don't understand when I tell them how I want to build my home. Im so glad someone else feels that way and I'm not alone.

This home and the woman herself, is wonderful. So many of her ideas are tried and true from a century or two ago. Outhouses are great, especially if you garden. If the weather is too inclement or it’s dark, a covered chamber pot tucked under the bed, is handy, and you just dump it on the next trip to the privy. Open shelving is great, particularly if you are encouraged to keep your things tidy, and saves the cost of cupboard doors. This is a VERY sustainable method of living and running a business. I’m sure she finds her clients become life long friends. She has a pioneer spirit.

This lady is fascinating! Hearing about her lifestyle and creative ways her home reflects and allows that to grow as her family does was really neat! Loved the water heating method and the bear sculptings!

What a talented lady, lovely home, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jenna! Amazing cabin and what an amazing woman!

Love her enthusiasm and passion for the home, as well as her sense of pride and accomplishment. While I really enjoyed the tour, this wouldn’t be for me, but to each his own. I would definitely need to have toilet facilities inside. It would be enjoyable to sleep outside, but my concern would be the creatures that live in the woods,,,,snakes, mice, coyotes, bobcats and perhaps a bear or two.

Amazing to see how the hot water is hooked up to the Baker's Choice wood cook stove. I really appreciate the deck/ greenhouse set up too.

I've seen my share of log cabins, but this one tops the cake. It's home. A masterpiece really. I'm in awe... I can almost hear the birds chirping. ❤

Woah! What a pleasure to see this living space. She is my hero, the whole thought process that was put into her living space is so wonderful to hear.

This tour, this woman's gift, was just the uplift I needed today. Thank you.

Every little detail is so well thought out, I'm just so impressed. Love the style inside and out and good see so much natural light in the cabin. That kitchen is amazing! Thanks so much for the tour!

We can see that she put her heart and soul into the cabin. thanks Jenna sharing her story❤

I just finished watching this... I fell in love with all the craftsmanship, and the coziness, and the obvious love and devotion that went into building this place. 💖 Bravo to Natalie! It's a home she can enjoy for life, and then pass on to the next generation -- and hopefully it will be duly appreciated. 🌟☸🕊

WOW ! that's AWESOME ! I could definitely enJOY living in a place similar to this. Being in my 79th year on Earth now, it's not likely that I'll be building such. It's a lovely thing to dream about tho. I did help build a house in the woods on a lake about 20 years ago tho. No longer there now. Life SHIFTS & changes.

Amazing!! That outdoor bedroom!!

Great seeing you, Jenna. Thanks for another great video!

I’d sleep in the outdoor bedroom most of the time. Thanks for the great video!

This is such a labour of love. The tiny is amazing. I love the counters and the wood cook stove AND the hot water tank! ! That is something I have not seen in these tiny builds before. Very creative, I love how it works. Well, really, the entire kitchen. The upstairs is so well planned out. The out door living space is so relaxing. I really love the outdoor bed. I can see how much planning and thought went into this tiny house in terms of planning it so she could expand if the need arose. It is truly a work of art. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Brilliant, beautiful and bold. So many special and thoughtful details. I take my hat off to you for building your home. It’s a lovely place for you and your family to call home. I love the idea of a handmade lifestyle.

Love the books...inside and out. I love how your daughter's room is big enough for her to grow into. You have solve the homeless problem. Love from Montana

Lovely home! Wish I'd met her while being a part of a tiny home meetup group in Asheville. But one of the reasons I left Asheville was the enormous amount of biting insects that were making both my and my cat's lives a misery. Not sure where around Asheville she built her cabin, but I'd have loved to have known about it at the time...I might still be living there. Clouds of mosquitoes every-damn-where...maybe she is one of those people mosquitoes avoid, so she believes they aren't a problem? Sadly, I seem to be a skeeter smorgie.

This is my favorite episode by far and I've seen many. Heavenly space and great ideas. Thank you.

This is so far away from the way I live that I would have to take a bus and then a plane to get there but that said, I LOVE THIS HOUSE/NEST/HAVEN! It's so well planned and still leaves room for improvisation, it's cosy and comfortable and with all the wood feels like the most natural constructed place to raise a child. Well done, Natalie, it's a home in the truest sense and "a handmade life". Well said.

I love the log cabin and how it evolved into what she needed it was absolutely brilliant. I love the magical feel she brought to it and the idea of outside living is really outside living. Also love the greenhouse right on the deck. Absolutely lovely and so was she. Very strong pioneering woman. Love it! Thank you for this beautiful video. Can’t wait to share it.

Really interesting video with the growth factor included... planning to expand and stay in one place even though you start small. Not sure I agree with the $5K initial cost, but the help she had was nice. It sounds like it was a 2-year build in the beginning. No mention of the size of the acreage or how close to supplies or how much solar or water sourcing and other life details. Sorry to hear her artist friend passed. That was a beautiful mama bear scene. It makes me wonder about land with trees to use... :-)
