Milkweed Dreams funny cause I just want to be alone....with you. 😉

For those being negative about this being a business... This is a great way to come and experience the space firsthand for those wanting / considering this lifestyle or possibly considering this idea as a business. Tiny houses aren't for everyone but are for many just as this kind of getaway isn't for everyone but is for many. How about sharing your opinion in a better light instead of putting the business and it's owner down. It's okay not to want to experience this getaway without the need for the insults.

I love the big window frame. Framed serenity. Easy. Simple design.

This makes me grateful for the balance in my life. I commute 20 minutes to work, my back yard is nothing but trees, my dogs can run in my yard, I don't look at my phone all weekend (other than to check up on family) and I can barely hear the road from my house. I hope other people get a chance to live that as well.

Blackridge I've always lived in the countryside, even when it was on the very outskirts of a city. Never looked at my phone at work because I didn't have one, the house phone was all I needed and I was a nurse so just too busy. I do feel sad for people who are glued to their phones (let's face it they aren't really phones anymore, they are devices for your boss to get in touch with you 24/7 7/52) and I'm a bit fed up at just looking at the tops of people's heads and as for earbuds! If a person that's stood next to you says something and I say pardon I don't expect some ignoramus to pull a dumb face say doh and point to his ear. I'm not against technology just bad manners.

This is great!! I live near a busy highway and when I visit freinds who don’t......first thing I notice is how the quiet invokes a very reflective peaceful state of mind. Like daydreaming.

Kirsten, as always, another glimpse of a place that I would never have known about and I lived in Woodstock VA for several years. Thank you.

Love the great scenery, the tiny home blends beautiful in the wood 🌺🐞

I love this space. Everything one needs, and that huge window, where the bed is, just WOW! I'd love to wake up there! The windows could be big on all sides, though

Such a wonderful concept - getting back to simply enjoying nature and life in it. Thanks for this video Kirsten!

Looked to book. There’s a getaway 2 hrs outside Boston! Yay. I’m totally on board. Thanks for some of the best YT vids available!

How wonderful! For city dwellers longing for a getaway to slow down & simply commune with nature's setting, its a novelty idea of a business. Good job!

Truly, Kirsten, you find the most unique of stories! ♥️

Greetings from the 804 in Richmond, VA. Long time viewer of your channel. Keep up the great work. Shenandoah is a beautiful place in our state and worth visiting for anyone reading this.

This is absolutely the best vacation idea ever!!! Simply peace and quiet!!! Put the cell phone in a box and simply be one with trees!!! Fantastic...

Thanks for producing this piece, as well as all of the others. An oft-used idiom that many detractors adhere to can also be twisted and applied to the Getaway project: Freedom is Not Free

Wow, I love this...... the whole thought process as he explains it ...is where im at in my life now.

Great idea! I really get it and glad you don't cluster them together. That way they feel alone and everyone is there for the same reason.

I looked this up the other night. I don't have a job at this moment so I'm not going to spend 300 bucks to sleep in the woods but when I get a check, I definitely want to do this. An october night with a fire... grill some meats, roast some corn and veggies, drink some beers and smoke a joint.... wow. Its full of stars!

I have had this very idea in my head for years. Was so excited to see there are others who feel the same way. I grew up in a log cabin in the woods, no neighbors and miss it very much. Technology has made us spoiled and created an addiction within us. Its robbed us of the very beauty right before our eyes. We need to put down our devices and look up, see the beautiful world before us. I hope to one day have a place similar to this. And if you want to start a business in Idaho, I'll manage it for you. ;) Great video, thank you!

Back to simple! I'm not sure about people complaining about their rates. Our college town Hotel rates are that and too many loud parties. God Bless America and Good luck to everyone trying to get a new business started.

Camping!!!! Grew up this way! So glad to see young people are going back to this.

This reminds me of a trip we took to Colorado a few years ago. We rented a cabin in Allens Park, a small town outside of Estes Park. We thought we would spend a lot of time in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park but the front porch of that cabin was so meditative, with a gurgling stream and such beauty to look at we spent most of our time there. We did drive through the park one day and I took my horse loving youngster on a trail ride, but other than that we just enjoyed the cabin.

Ho my friend. What a beautiful video. Thank you...thank you...thank you. Greetings from Brazil

Peace out...retreating into what is such a tranquil location...unwinding with nature.⭐

Idk what it is but everyone in your videos sounds so calm and relaxed. I've enjoyed all of them! Keep up the great content!

Very nice! Love the black and the big window.

Omg I can feel from here the relaxing coming from that big window at the back

Fortuitous timing on this video, Kirsten. We had plans to camp for 3 nights on the Skyline Drive, however the threat of thunderstorms for 3 days led me to look into getting last minute reservations at "Getaway." Great way to experience a tiny house in a relaxing environment. Our first night was a deluge of rain, and we were nice and cozy. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Conveniently close to the Skyline Drive. Thanks for posting the video, as always! :-)

Wow! This is exactly what i've wanted for decades! Grew up in the woods in Michigan, with a small family farm at the edge of the forest. Even had a small creek. The most wonderful way to live, and to me, the only way. Wish I hadn't ended up permanently disabled and on SSI at just 29 years old, and had been able to buy a small piece of land to do this on. Now that I'm 61, pretty much alone, and can't manage a larger house anyway, it would be so perfect. Hate the city so much. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your wonderful projects here, absolutely wonderful!

I could see one of these in the Jungle or on the side of a mountain in Costa Rica. I love it.

I love the idea and experience of quiet, business or not he and his partner are creating alot of mentally healthy people who are stressed out from work, family or life. Great job😀

Well done Kirsten another great video

Whatever the concept may seem, or be, this video has provoked. Thoughtfulness? Ideas? Criticism? Irritation @ sales pitch? I think it's worth watching again, and realising there is more to it than a video brochure.

Thanks Kirsten... love your work

Love serenity philosophy ....great idea 🌲🌱🌿🍃🍁

This is such a great channel. Been watching for years.

Sweet and much quieter then current campgrounds. Space and peace for those that seek. Not too much impact either.

I love the design! I love the setting. Don't change. There are plenty of "group experience" places available for those who crave that. This one is for people like me who are just peachy fine being by themselves in the quiet woods going for walks in the day and curled up with a book in the evening.

This is wonderful! Trees are alive and they give us peace and energy. We are supposed to look up each night and gaze at the sky, stars and moon. 😊

Smart Design...simple and powerful....New Yorker that thought Deep....Bravo

Wow...awesome video. I love Tiny house philosophy more now!! Thanks for sharing your life and thought. just subbed. :D

yes the cell phone thing, does it shield the radiation ? , yeah its far away and you drop off the phone there. cool. and very necessary these days . you cant talk to anyone , or have a conversation without having THIS DEVICE FIRST. so they set the phone into another room, then you can talk to them

For the people that know how to camp, make fire etc. this concept is pretty strange. But for many people in the city this a good way to learn how to camp and re connect with nature. I live in a forrest and think it is positive and also a bit funny: ‘MyFirstCampfire’ ; )

We used to go camping regularly and I have stayed at the Getaway location in Big Bear, CA. You are paying for the convenience of the experience and, for my trip, that was OK. I didn't have to worry about the camping gear or the set up or takedown. It's definitely a different experience, but it also definitely lowers the degree of difficulty and the potential stress level.

Nice video, even if it was just an opportunity for him to plug his business. To all the people hating on the hipster for his lack of bushcraft skills and such. Congrats, you just became hipsters yourselves. Nobody cares if you’re making “real” campfires with a bow drill. Certainly not anyone in his generation. His business just might be the perfect introduction for these urban millennials to get outside their cities and off their devices. I know as a father of two teens daughters that hate nature. His cabins would be an easier sell than staking tents and sleeping on the ground. Gotta ease people into the concept.

Love your channel!

I loved this video! Thank you for sharing. Completely agree that people are literally "starving" for time to simply unplug and do nothing for a change...For those who do not want to camp, or do not have all of the gear needed to camp (which can all be expensive) this is the next best thing.

Excellent commentary💚💜

This is perfect for those that want to try out the camping experience but, don't have RV's or tents, etc. I think it's a really great idea. I would love to stay at a place like that sometime. It appears to be affordable way to ’get away’ from it all, as well. However, as a business, It would be a huge investment to start up a business like this tho. You would have to get a huge amount of land just to get started. It could be really expensive and take a while to start profiting from it because, it would be a seasonal thing. Tyfs!

I love this! So inspired to do what I want!

Well, I live in a wooded area... no landlines and no tv...

Despite the where, what for and why...I think the idea is fantastic. Love it when he said: "go forest bathing" a concept of just walking in the woods. ***ALL & ALL being in nature like this is second best to what I think a Beautiful, Utopian HEAVEN would be like.***

Tranquil and they've thought of everything. Something for everyone.❤️

This was a great idea!

I've long wished for an entire city neighborhood like this. I feel like our urban design across north america is all wrong. By all means clear out space for the commercial areas as needed but residential should feel natural. Like a camp ground. We can have most or all of our modern trappings without living in a standardized template.

i kove this arritude so much.

Pricey, but I think the deal is that there are many people who can't camp -- if they tried they would spend a few grand on gear and be frustrated trying to use it on a 2 day getaway. Case in point: The couple locked their keys in their cabin... in the middle of the woods. There's nobody to steal your things, but the habit remains. The obvious goal is to turn the anxious thoughtlessness into intentional thoughtlessness for the purpose of relaxation. Some folks may be the best software developers or data analysts but not have a clue how to start a fire or how to relax lol but it's true! It seems that they offer a different sort of concierge to have guests attempt to relax by doing as little as possible, Im sure folks enjoy it, and I imagine that many more similar sites will pop up as tinyhomes/cabins become more refined and cheaper to mass produce (ironic...) Having grown up in a rural area middle of nowhere forest I remember my ears ringing from silence. After moving to a small town to work I forgot that tinitis was a thing until coming back to visit. There really is a sound of silence and it IS a deafening roar. It's possible to affordable live like this, but we're all tempted to try to do "better." Better for some is having an home in the woods on an awesome creek with a huge garden, but many sacrifice ability to produce great income as a result. We're very fortunate to have the opportunity to choose our lifestyles, and I think it's great that he's offering a temporary option geared toward urbanites while producing some honest income, building assets, that's honest work to me. Thanks for the videos, cheers!

wow, I’ve seen photos all over of these cabins individually, but had no idea they were in a larger area together. I find it beautiful and a bit sad: to teach people of the wonders of nature, but that they had not yet learned them...it seems one should get the chance to build a campfire, as a child, and not from a manual. That seems like a right every child should have-to build a campfire and stare into it and laugh and talk all night with friends and family. I love that this man is a thinker-and that he is a great expressionist-he can fully articulate the tensions that most modern humans are feeling deep in their hearts.

I totally agree with this style of thinking. I have been living my life like this , almost all my life to date but I do have houses just for me and my family/friends. Only some understand this thinking, and it is not easy when you are govern by a materialistic notion, all around you; but one has to realise that it is in some way compliments, provides necessary innovations, new products , that extra time etc to enhance the freedom I want to achieve. Only negative aspect is that commercialisation of this idea once it is absorbed into materialistic stream of consciousness !🤔🌹👈❤
