Stunning Small Cabin & Homestead In The Woods Of Vermont
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
There are very few things in life that sound quite as idyllic as a cabin in the woods and this beautiful home in Vermont is a perfect example of just that. Katie and Drew are two wonderful people who have masterfully escaped the rate race and instead chose a simpler and more fulfilling way of life for themselves by moving into a remote cabin.
Their Cabin stands amidst a spectacular woodland setting, surrounded by nature and their own abundant vegetable gardens. Here, they can spend their days growing their own food, connecting with nature and with each other.
At their cabin, life is simple, slow and intentional. We hope you enjoy this cabin tour!

Thank you, Bryce and Rasa, for another lovely home tour, a great dose of minimalism, and the wonderful perspective. I live in the greater Montreal area, so we share Vermont’s 4 distinct seasons. I think many of your viewers would enjoy seeing Katie and Drew enjoying a Vermont winter day. ☺😀 Now, that would be fascinating…and about as real as it gets. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦

I LOVE the updated way you’ve made these videos more streamlined by simply intro and closure with Bryce, and zero interactive filler talk during the tour. Don’t get me wrong, it was never an issue and we loved the interaction but it’s so less “cluttered”, and efficient, giving us just what we need, great visuals, key info succinctly, less chit chat, and honing in on the essential details and aspects. WELL DONE!!! Love it!

@@oasisdomesticarts7807 I always thought this "self narrated" tour was something done remotely when Bryce and Rasa couldn't make it to the location. I personally prefer having both of them present and Rasa's recording style is surely missed (IMO) on this style of presentation. Either way, we all enjoy a small glimpse into the lifestyles of those who have found the benefits of living a upon a smaller footprint.
I so appreciate that you show homes that aren't necessarily tiny, but share the same principles of living simply!

agree. This is a very nice size home to live conformably without feeling cramped or outgrow it soon after moving in. I would recommend anyone buiding their own home like this one where the bedrooms are in the "attic" to build loft attic dormers to add some extra room, add window which will bring in sunlight and make it feel more open. Having the bedrooms in a attic without dormers can feel a little claustaphobic. Adding dormers is not that much addition money but, will really make this attic space fell much larger. Candice olson from the HGTV show Devine Design has a great attic renovation for an attic space.

I especially love small homes. The tiny homes would be too small for my family, but the small homes - just perfect.
I used to watch the Internet news before bed then have nightmares. Now I watch several episodes of Living Big in a Tiny House, and my faith in the future and good people has returned! Bryce and Rasa, I LOVE your shows, your outlook on life, and all you do! Keep up the good work. I, with sooo many others, will be here watching!

I was wondering why there was so little Bryce in this video, and you just made me realize he wasn’t there with them. 😂
Absolutely love this home. I live in a cabin that used to be abandoned in the woods. As a kid, I fantasized about having a large house, but now that I've lived in a little cabin for 10 years, I would have no use for more space.
It's wonderful that you have an actually house featured in this episode. It's perfect for two people and with a beautiful setting.
I love that you’ve included a tiny-ish home. As property owners that have looked at a the option of a THOW, we find them to be a depreciating investment. A small home on a true foundation actually appreciates in value, so great to see some of these options. Looks like they’ve found themselves a terrific, tiny-ish home.
It was much more spacious than I thought it would be. And it was very inviting and warm. Really nice set up.
Beautiful place, home and video! We live in a little (450 sq feet) home on 7 wooded acres in northern Idaho. So many people have said they can’t imagine living “like this” - being with their spouse all day and also living 30 miles away from the nearest small town. We just smile and say …. then it’s a really good thing you don’t. 🙂. We love it here. All of it - a paid off small mortgage, no debt, nature all around use, time, togetherness, simplicity. So grateful! Thanks for this lovely video!
Thanks everyone for your kind comments! I'm here to answer any questions :) The house is roughly 15 x 28 feet!
🇱🇰 Aww as fellow Sri Lankans currently living in Canada, my husband and I are counting days to go back to home country to live that simple life again. I am happy you guys finally found the lifestyle you wanted ♥️♥️
What a lovely cabin and the land is beautiful. Perfect setup. Simple living is grand!
For sure, did not expect the roominess of this lovely cabin ! It was a joy to take in the gardens, the outdoor tub and fire pit, too. Kudos to this fascinating couple and their living choices . 👍💕😊
Wow, I wasn’t expecting the look of the inside! Really nice
As soon as Drew opened his mouth, I said to myself ok an Aussie, Im here for it!!😊 I love that Aussies get out there and do this cottage/tiny house lifestyle outside of Australia. It's wonderful to see and hear how it's all going for them.

I'm surprised by the size! It looks so open and spacious.
Hello, from Canada. Katie and Drew, you are absolutely right about the importance of an entrance/mudroom. It becomes even more essential when winter hits - to keep from tracking snow through the house, and having a place to hang bulky clothes. I wonder if you have a place for cold storage where you can keep the vegetables that you harvest. The whole place looks so idyllic.

It would be asy to isolate an area from the plumbing/electrical to create a root cellar. There are other options as well.
Small cabin, rather than a tiny house, ABSOLUTELY!!! Way to go. We have done this too and love it. We did the big house, 5600 square feet, pool, circle drive, woods, big yard…no more. We live on 1/4 Acre, on the Little River, in 1300 square feet, much better.
Oh, I love this monolog variation!❤ thank you so much Bryan and Rasa for putting so much effort to make such enjoyable videos❤❤

A beautiful cabin in the woods and growing your fruits and vegetables is so smart... your home is beautiful and spacious...your land is beautiful and sustainable ....Lots of luck
What a beautiful and charming tiny house ! Thank you very much Bryce for sharing your passion. It's very inspiring 🙏🏻😍🏡💖
Lovely home and surroundings, goes perfectly with their priorities.
I live in Vermont, not very far from these folks. What they paid for the place is a steal for VT. Great little homestead.
For 160K. Great deal. Who wouldn't want to live here, love the upstairs and the open simplicity.
Amazing, thoughtful young couple. As someone who grew up on the so-called Hippie side of environmentalism, it is good to see a return to the notion of returning to the land. One couple at a time could start a trend that saves us yet, just in the nick of time.

People like this should be running our Government! They care about the environment and its not all about being rich , living in mansions! It's about family meeting your needs and not wants. Just disappointed in our Government, and not caring for the average persons struggles to make ends meet .
Lovely to be able to live your life comfortably. As we get older our houses become cluttered with stuff we don't actually need or want. It feels good to get free from old habits. Thanks for sharing Bryce. I see you're back in the USA.
I think I particularly love this video because it reminds me of where I live, also in a cabin in the woods (though without running water or indoor plumbing). There is nothing so lovely as living a simply life. There is more work to do, but less cost, and a lot more joy at being out of the rat race. And Vermont has got to be my favourite US state! Good luck with your new homestead, Katie and Drew!
A beautiful little oasis that they have carved out for themselves. 👍😊👏
What a beautiful little cabin. It seems just the perfect size for a couple to live in comfortably without being cramped but still able to have occasional guests. I love tiny homes but if I was to have one I wouldnt necessarily need the movable aspect that most of them have, a cabin like this seems like the ideal alternative. I think I would spend a lot more time outside surrounded by that gorgeous forest and garden too. Thanks for letting us visit!
I would never live in a tiny home as much as I love them, but cabins like this are perfect.
That's exactly what I have been wanting for myself, in term of size, I love tiny homes, but daily, I would feel slightly claustrophobic. I like how they considered the space when choosing this cabin! I have been renovating a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom semi detached house with a big garden and it is so perfect for me. Big enough to have a bit of room and have people over and a garden where I plan to grow lots of food, living simply but maybe not fully tiny 😅 It is about finding the right balance that works for you and that's great they did, amazing property and cabin! And amazing video as always!
From a practical standpoint it is a beautifully designed cabin. You can tell it was built by a professional finish carpenter or contractor who has excellent taste. The cabin just draws you in and the amount of light is extraordinary for a small home. I envy them their counter space and the cabinets appear to be made not purchased through a big box store. That they were able to purchase it for $160K with plenty of land, potable water, and a septic system was a good deal. It is getting harder every year in Vermont to buy land. I grew up there in the house my Father built in 1962 that was once surrounded by woods. As kids we could walk through the woods in all directions to visit friends and it was actually quicker than riding our bikes around what we called the flat iron due to he roads that evolved naturally. I see it now and it makes me cry. Every single inch of my hometown is littered with large houses for the upper middle class which has become the bedroom community for the Queen City just across the river. I remember all the wild animals that lived there and it wasn't unusual to see a flying squirrel or come across a fox who hadn't been successful in finding food the night before. We used to feed the foxes our dogs kibble when they looked thin as more and more houses were added. That was 30 to 40 years ago and now animals like squirrels, chipmunks, foxes raccoons and others are a nuisance because they nest under porches or garden sheds and they are trapped and taken God only knows where. So if this is your dream plan on sooner rather than later because property values are through the roof as it is and it is not going to get any better.

I basicly just complained about the same thing. The average family struggles daily because the cost of basics are no longer affordable. Our Government needs to be rid of the rich in power that are to old to understand how life is today. Get some younger people to replace them!

@@carolynlasher8896 , It's really not about 'old people'__re: affordable housing(or not, as the case may be) it's about changing the local laws requiring a minimum of 2,000 sq. footage for new builds. It's rediculous that so many people can't afford to live in a house of their own when it would be much more prudent for city planning boards to allow for smaller houses to be built. I get what you mean about 'old thinking', people get stuck in old 'habits' when there's money to be made in larger projects. 😛😒 Love, Light, and Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
No but like why is this the perfect size for me 😭😭😭 I'm really only into tiny houses simply for their humility and amazing financial benefits, so to see these kinds of slightly larger homes that still provide these and more makes me confident to live small 🥰
Yeah having someone who's on the same page as you makes it possible to do these things. I know for me it's hard to do something like this because of fear. So even though it's possible it's just hard to not have another person who's on the same goal. So yeah they're enjoying a new way of living and it's so great❤
Love this video. Such a sweet couple, living a pure and tranquil lifestyle, with less pressures. Their home is lovely, it seems to suit their personalities. Thanks again Bryce & Rasa. We all need time to reflect, adjust, and plan our unique pathway in life.
Absolutely beautiful! The property, the house, the well kept garden and this couple and the love that they share! Thanks Bryce, your videos are such a wonderful contribution!
Beautiful! I love that it's a small house, but not super tiny - something that I could live in one day.
These little homes always surprise me at how big they are inside! ❤
What a tiny house should be. Small enough to meet your needs but still have the look of a house.
I absolutely love it and having a couple of horses would make it PERFECT! ❤️🏡
I absolutely love this house! Actually more than the tiny homes. I wish you would show more of the cabin/small size houses? Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
This cabin is fantastic. I love it. Love the spiral staircase too. This couple are so smart to have relized the simple things in life are what's important and be totally content with this. Such a lovely way to live. I bet they are mentally at peace and very balanced.
When they opened the door to their cabin I actually gasped. I was not expecting such a beautiful space! But I have to say - and this is not a criticism - the life they're living is very common in this part of the world. (I live in Eastern Canada, just north of New England, where Vermont located.) Of course, the difference between New York City and Vermont is like living in another world entirely. It seems that this couple, having had their taste of the rest of the world, now are ready to live a simple New England life and appreciate all that it has to offer. Lovely little cabin!
I do get the new approach of guests talking ab their houses but I loved when you have interacted with them I loved questioning all, and all those small talks. Please come back to that as that what was so charming and great in your videos.

What a wonderful place to live! Thank you, Bryce and Rasa, this was a bit of a step outside of your "traditional" tinys, but very nice. Katie and Drew, your home is inviting, tastefully furnished, and nicely decorated, and when lit by sunlight through the windows, it is literally beautiful! The size seems to be great too, so I can only wish you many fulfilling years in your beautiful small cabin in the woods!
Yes, I love the see the small house too not just tiny on wheels! Very lovely house and the simple life style
This is my retirement dream. Vermont is my favorite state & I grew up spending much of our family vacation time in Vermont. We backpacked & skied all over the state & have a family lake house in the northeast region. I’ve been making a study of tiny house options in Vermont & this video is very inspiring.
We used a wheeled stool in our crawlspace to make moving around easier
What a beautiful house! Also great yard and garden!❤
What a great job producing this! Their home is adorable. The tranquility of their lives is something to aspire to.😊
Loving the variety of homes you have been showing of late. This looks gorgeous. I'll go put the coffee on. Cheers guys.
Beautiful life! You are living my dream….so glad you continued to live an intentional life.
7:28 The call of the famous Vermont raven... Georgeous cabin in a perfect surrounding, love it.
I liked this home with all the modern amenities designed thoughtfully combined with the scenic garden and natural beauty all around. The young couple is really sorted, knows exactly what they require and have built a lifestyle for themselves. Best wishes
I would definitely live in that cabin, I love it ❤🤗
As a sri lankan it is so happy to see that they were inspired by seen our lifestyle. Katie and Drew love from 🇱🇰❤
That's just a beautiful home.... enough space ...to function when & where needed .....looks fabulous what garden.
Believe it or not, my Saturdays are always better because of your videos.. The fact that you're so punctual and never disappoint us is great Bryce!
Beautiful house! 👏 And wise nice couple leaving as they wanted to. World should be full of such happy people ❤
What a wonderful design on the interior. Really love the basic openness of it all, though the bedrooms are a bit too closed for me. Way to go, Katie and Drew!
Bryce is right, so happy for you to recreate your minimal life in this small cabin. Also, I really admire your willingness to disrupt the life you had for the life that brings you joy.
Its a lovely cabin and I think the interior is so pretty and cozy. Especially their 2 bedrooms. So charming and inviting.
I am so jealous of this couple, living in a way we all should/could aspire to. I'm originally from Ohio and lived in New York City for 3 years. I've lived in Los Angeles for a little over 60 years. I'm now 85 (and poor) and could never have a place similar to this which I have dreamed of most of my life. They are so lucky!
Byrce thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone. I truly appreciate it and congratulations on another exceptional video. 🎉🎉🎉
I envy this couple. We all should live this simply.
a perfect simple space in New England~ Vermont~ perfect!! ...fo perfect~
Beautiful location and cabin! It would be really great to include how much the land cost in addition to the house and also what they do for a living? Helps to know how realistic these goals are to achieve.
Really enjoyable seeing people choosing another way and growing independently within it. Beautiful scenery over there (in the land of the Styxx). Judy(NZ)

Heya! I’m actually working on some designs at the moment!!! Watch this space. :)
I can appreciate the idea of being outdoor people and that sitting and computers aren't for everyone; but someone at a desk and behind a computer designed, manufactured, ordered, paid for and a a sitting trucker shipped every single thing they have in their yard and house. So, you're welcome.
I'm so happy to see the world is really changing for good. people are reconnecting.
Vermont is So beautiful ❤️☮️👍
When I lived in Manhattan, I spent some time in a cabin in West Virginia, I brought along my dog. We were in a forest and there was only nature around us. That brief experience was enough to understand, once I returned to NYC, that it wasn't normal to live in that frenetic way. It was a shock to return to the city, even my dog was depressed. So all my understanding and admiration for Kate and Drew's choice. Thank you Bryce and Rasa for spreading the value of healthy, independent life through your wonderful program.
What a lovely couple living on my dream property!!
I'm so happy to see you guys using this format, just letting the owners talk us through their home. It's so natural!
I love the cabin and the couple is very much in love and that is always beautiful to see.
Yet another lovely paradise!
Katie and Drew, your cabin is very beautiful. Your lifestyle, I believe, is the way that God intends all of us to live. You have made a fabulous garden. You are living a wonderful life, and you have each other to share it with. God bless you both.🙏
I liked the house greatly! ❤️Please show more houses like this! Thank you for the video ☺️
More Vermont content, please 💚
Magical mini homestead.
What a beautiful cabin home. We love the cozy wood feeling and the upstairs bedrooms.
Loved this. Interesting though that they don’t realize that many tiny houses have more kitchen counter space and more storage than their small cabin. I’m grateful to say that this is what I have, only in different mountains and I’m grateful every day. But I’d embrace New England in a NY minute.
Fantastic video...I love the principles by which they live ...I sooo resonate with....its all about reconnecting with nature....being human....not just a slave to a robotic life...
Y’all have found paradise on earth!💕
Healthy living where u can go around without shoes, direct contact wirh the earth. Surrounded with green. I think she is the first ever home owner who invites u into their home. Most of the time, your line will be, can we go inside. 😊
this cabin is so beautiful. what a fabulous spot. hope they have many happy years there.
Yes I did enjoy the tour through this charming place! But I missed the "wow, that's so incredible/cozy/spacious/etc" when entering the cozy cabin!
This is very liveable!
Love this home, love the wood floor! Vermont is such a beautiful state!
