I've been looking at all the prefab home options available for years now and one thing people are always looking for is something that's affordable and looks cool. For this video I went to visit Ilumhouse to see their line of cottage style prefab homes that I think have a great look. Watch and learn more about Ilumhouse, specifically their Nordic Sauna model being used as and ADU on a property in Latvia.

I spent 3 years living in an ADU. It was nowhere near as nice as this model. 😍 I think instead of adding shelves to the kitchen I’d add a microwave. 🍱 It’s awesome that you got to tour the home finished and installed. Thanks to you, we can all get a realistic feel for what the end product will be. 👍👍 Another great video Kerry. You’ve really set the bar high. 😎

Kerry, I'm so glad that KZfaq cycles these through to your fans. I tend to agree about the eye appeal. Looking forward to retirement in the near future, I disagree about having a dedicated bedroom. I'm anticipating that up and down a ladder wont work for this old man. But that is a preference thing in my book. I'd really like to see builders going back to the victorian era when the front parlor of the home served multiple functions. You might recall that they had tables where the top would tilt up allowing the table to slide against the wall. So few of us use dining rooms any more, do we need a table always present? I don't. Oh that's another preference. There ya go. As always thanks Kerry.

I've been watching your channel for two years now and have loved how you review each builder. I have been looking for a small prefab home to put on my 5 acres to retire to. I've been searching even before I found your channel, mostly not doing anything because I still have to put in a water well. This last June I had an excavation company come in and put in a driveway and level pad. I recently found this builder in WA USA, Wolf Industries. Could you look into it? It looks very promising. They have eight different floor plans from one bedroom to two. With the pricing from $64,500 (one bedroom) to $170,000 (two bedroom).

I could see making the sauna room into a bedroom and use the loft for storage. But I see they have a Single Model I like better. If I had to have a tv I would put it above the fireplace, but I’m fine with watching videos on my iPad. I have a portable induction stove that could on the counter, or outside on the table there. I do like the color scheme a lot Too bad they only deliver in Europe. If they had a NA production facility I would be interested in
