This spectacular treehouse-style cabin sits high on a mountain with panoramic views. It’s modern charm somehow perfectly blending into the imposing surrounding landscape. This is a cabin that sits on top of the world, and yet for owners / builders John and Sharon, getting here was a hard mountain to climb.

The couple suffered a bankruptcy, where they lost everything with the exception of a bit of forested land which sat on a steep section on a mountain side. The land, declared worthless by the bank was where they made a new home for themselves, living in a tiny caravan while they began to rebuild their lives. Their adversity didn’t stop there however, as John suffered a major heart attack that very nearly cost him his life. For many people, the story would have ended there, but for this resilient couple it just became a new beginning.

Here on their mountainside they rebuilt their life, living in their caravan while building a small home. Once the first small home was complete, they moved into that while building another tiny abode. They then moved into that one while renting out the first and so on until they had constructed three incredible dwellings on their property which also turned into a small business in the form of a BnB.

Sharing their home with others provided cashflow and helped them to financially recover and now, their thriving BnB business provides them a wonderful, peaceful lifestyle on their mountain. Building these tiny homes was really all about getting back to health, both physically and financially.
In this episode, we explore their tree-house inspired cabin. This clever construction is an architectural marvel, elevated with the most awe-inspiring views that carry the eye across the valley and out towards the tremendous mountain ranges in the distance. This one-of-a-kind cabin stands not only as a brilliant bit of engineering and construction, but also as a monument to human perseverance and power of will.
