Thank you so much Nicole, we feel extremely lucky and enjoy it each day🥰

Well said

I agree!

@Jay I agree. I get very depressed when I look at these videos and it's getting worse every day. I'm stuck in an apartment lease because a simple basic home of my very own (on just a small piece of land) is so unaffordable and unattainable for regular people like me just trying to live a simple life.

@@perpetualmotion8090 I'm very sorry for the circumstances, I can't afford to move myself or I would!

That is very true! Well said! Thanks for the comment!

That was always my dream. Once I finally got my dream but after several years I became cripple with rheumatoid arthritis and had to stop working as an RN. Then my lower back started to deteriorate. I had worked well over 30 years. But once on a limited income I was unable to afford to keep it and have the help I needed. I've never gotten over having to leave my dream..

That sweet spot, And the little log cabin. If I was 20 -30 years younger, Oh what I wouldn't have done to live there. I would love to live there now, but I to have degenerative disc disease in my lumbar area , and in my thoracic spine . That I hate with a purple passion.

@@bobbiejones9266 i’m so sorry ):

I can see why she picked that place.. what a life to sit and crochet in that peaceful setting.

I agree

It’s a fairytale

@True Me Then please put it on KZfaq and put the link here.

@True Me cut that out 😲😲😲

@True Me l ?

😂🤣 we did luck out. Thank you for the comment! More videos of the place and property coming soon!

I see what you’re saying. But it’s still small (not “tiny” as titled in video) imo. If you compare it to tiny homes of today that are all the trend then no, it’s not small. But back when it was built it was def small especially when you compare it to a standard home.

@@MichelleNovalee I think the “standard” home definitely depends on location and income/class. So for a holiday cabin this might be huge and about normal size for a family home(you could easily fit 3-4 bedrooms in the attic & basement) in Northern Europe if you’re a middle class family 🤗 so all depends on what your “normal” is Either way, it’s a lovely home 🥰

@@MichelleNovalee I live in the U.K. and this would 100% be considered a large home

@@swimminginhoney Europe is of course entirely different than America. It’s a lot more crowded in Europe. We have tons of space here. It’s comparing oranges to apples. I’m strictly speaking of America where this house is located.

It’s definitely ours too! Thank you so much for the comment and for watching!

You can once retired :)

You can!!!! People forget in this world that they are free !!!! After my children grew up , I sold my house overnight and traveled living in my car for a year then got a cabin in the Rocky Mountains. I couldn't be happier or feel more FREE!!!!!

Lovely cottage,nice living area.

@@michellemcbee8640 You and I have that in common only I'm in NY.

We feel very lucky. Thank you Barbara

I so agree with you! ❤

I'm sure you'll be fine after you see the couple featured on mr ballen

We don't know, maybe they paid 2 mil.for it.

@@mstirlz I hate that we're both that sick!!! I felt the same way but it is beautiful 😍🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

@@AnastasiaBeaverhousn Karen Walker,is that you?😂

Agreed! Thank you! More cottage videos coming soon!

Where was this? Did he say?

@@CottageandCompany we 44rrr see re era R444r Were

Yes, it is *really* clean now that there was a toxic furry biohazard contaminating the place with its dander, LOL!

I can tell you first hand it is! I’ll be coming out with more videos highlighting woodland cottage living soon! Thanks for watching

Just to hear the water streaming as you reach your home. I could just picture myself sitting outside the lower level with a cup of hot tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Just taking in all the beautiful scenery.

You could even put doors on the shelves to cover up what you would use them for. It would cost a fortune today to make such shelving as the pieces of wood have skyrocketed

I appreciate it! Thank you so much!

You are so very welcome young man. Peace and blessings to you and yours.

Too much orange wood for my liking but quite a sweet place. I would be severely tempted to paint it all in pastel colours, that orange wood is very passé now.

Wilbur says thank you! 🐕‍🦺

Come on over, we'll set you up!

Thank you Roger! We feel very lucky! I appreciate your perspective! Wishing you all the best

That may soon change, however.

I am in England and in America you can achieve your dream while in U.K. you can only dream about it.

I did not know this!

I agree, not a cabin this is a house. And it was well built, good buy!

@@LAStars-sratS yup a house

Lol I know, delusion or what

@@lewlew5686 he shrank after moving in

Thank you! Keep an eye out for more cottage videos coming out soon!

It was a real treasure! We will definitely continue it!

Hello how are you doing?

Agreed! I was very surprised that it didn’t have one. I hope they do at least put in a wood stove like he mentioned

Julie Schneider I am such a visual person that I was probably so busy looking at everything that I missed his mention of a wood stove! I agree with you that they should at least put one of those in. It would probably cost a whole lot less than a big stone fireplace. 😊

Masonry with a pizza oven

DONT build one!!! They are super inefficient....heat sink to hold cold in winter and heat in summer . We have a cabin half that size (800 sq ft) with a HUGE masonry fireplace....it's NOT good! A Russian Heater ALL within the building envelope would make sense if it's a northern climate. If southern...not worth it.

I live in Tn and I’m looking 😃

Kim and Parismiami..I live in FL and hate it hate it! I am looking to move out of state. I have always loved the Woods too..since a little girl. So..I was thinking of TN or NC. Do you guys like TN? Is cost of living expensive? I know they have a state tax return there..FL does not have that. Is there affordable land and houses there? Thank you.

@@gypsygirl9 I'm thinking of moving northward in my retirement even from Georgia because of the increasing heat. My brother lives in rural northern North Carolina where the cost of living and houses is pretty cheap. Cities are a different story, of course, but if you need employment you'd have to go there. I've been doing a little research and Knoxville, Tennessee is pretty cheap and with a low crime rate; lots of retirees there. Nashville and Chattanooga have high crime and Memphis is out of the question. Anywhere in the south is going to be politically very conservative, but Georgia (in spite of M.T. Greene) and the Carolinas seem to be slightly less so. I'd be in Colorado in a heart beat of the cost if living there wasn't so high; housing is sky high. Good luck with your plans!

@@gypsygirl9 Curious as to what part of Florida do you live in. I recently moved to Vero beach and it’s absolutely beautiful. But if you are looking for a place in Tennessee my cabin is close to Monterey. It’s an hour and a half east of Nashville and very rural. There is no state tax and the cost-of-living is much lower than Florida. The land and the rent it’s much more affordable though the cost of housing has gone up recently since there’s a big influx of people moving into Tennessee from California New York and New Jersey.... likely to escape the high cost of living and endless lockdowns in blue states. Research Cumberland Cove or Monterey which is directly in the middle of Cookeville and Crossville. Both are 15 minutes in each direction so if you’re looking for employment there is opportunities there but jobs are mostly blue-collar (nothing wrong with that) or If you work from home (and there are a lot of options out there to do that now ) Monterey will be a great place to live. Very peaceful, hiking trails, waterfalls, caves....The town is on a plateau with an elevation of 2000 feet. Best wishes to you with your move.

@@gypsygirl9 Before.. you decide on doing this..make sure you have a partner and some dogs and also cat/s and also Powerful Automatic Shotgun and atleast a Glock19 with plenty of reload clips available at easy reach. Remember, by the time the Police or Statetroopers ever make it out to you after you make the emergency call..the danger will already have over come you Before they ever get there in time to save you!!

Very true! Couldn't agree more!

@truth talker I so relate to not wanting to go home! I ended up on Long Island and bought a house that had pine trees and the I planted more of them...always chasing that feeling. You must be good people if you grew up in Bklyn!!

@truth talker lots of NYer’s here🙂...I grew up in Buffalo, NY however after I retired from USAF I ended up I Brooklyn NY for 15 years, now I’m in Staten NY. have to admit after living in the small country mountainside villages in Germany, Switzerland...I never really acclimated back to city life...My dream would be to move to Thousand Islands, Canada. I use to vacation there many, many years ago.I’ve never forgotten the little cabins I stayed in ...all alone in the wilderness. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful...and lovely people as well(in the town when you went there for supplies.)

All those shelves in the basement could turn into a library

Absolutely!

It absolutely does!!!

I was thinking Robert Woods as he was walking up the driveway.

This is much more lovely (and real) than a Kinkade painting. Sorry, I don't like them because, to me, they're overdone and unrealistic. But glad you enjoy them and many people do love them for their dreamlike quality.

Maybe he grew up in a huge house.

@@h.r.puffinstuff431 I'm guessing he did. He looks way too young to be able to afford this. Trust fund baby is my guess.

vaskylark He looks like he is still in college!! 👍

Thank you so much! We couldn’t agree more, this place is so unique and we want to keep it that way 😊 The plan is to make a few needed updates, but to keep it feeling like the storybook cottage that it is!

Aww thanks Tammy! We’re most definitely living ours too ❤️

Look again, it's built in.

Hello how are you doing?

Thank you Shary! More videos to come so stay tuned. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

The construction is really superb! Very high quality materials used throughout! This cabin was the original owners labor of love

@@CottageandCompany They could have waxed the step treads where ever they touch other wood to eliminate sqeaks. Maybe able to remove and put back.

The quantity of wood makes it costly and valuable.

@@kapekodbob The pops, squeaks and creaks are part of the charm...and good for security reasons.

I actually would not add a shower upstairs and would just use the downstairs shower...unless they really want to modify the roof line! (If I was going to add a shower, it would be an outdoor one.) I think built in, graduated depth drawers across that low nook for linens/clothes would be more practical. They can use some of the wood from Anne's excessive storage nooks. Also, I don't see room for a full fireplace, unless they want to sacrifice the couple windows in the living space, but maybe a small glass-front wood or gas stove could work. Also, a full fireplace in there would cook them out.

Hello how are you doing?

Hello how’re you doing?

🤣

Hello how are you doing?

How neat! Best of luck with building your dream cottage!

We agree! ❤️ Thanks so much for the comment

Hello how’re you doing?

Thank you! We feel so lucky to be able to call it home ☺️

Thank you very much! We definitely feel lucky to have found our dream home🥰

Thank you, we definitely feel lucky to call it home☺️

Luck had nothing to do with it-you are blessed.

Thank you Lisa!

My thought too, especially that far out.

And a LOT of books...

I loved all the shelving too. So practical and beautifully made.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the great tips! Much appreciated!

Glad you enjoyed it
