Kerry, I'll let you in on a little secret. I work a lot of long hours in Photoshop, but after 41 years working with digital color my right pinky finger is arthritic, and my right arms hurts. When I need to take a break to let the pain ease off, so that I can get back to work, I go to UA-cam. A lot of times you have a new video up and running, and I am all in. You have had some really nice models recently where the overall fit, finish, and aesthetics are really working together. In your arena Kerry, how a manufacturer uses materials makes a world of difference. Now it's back to work on a 2,500 year old polychrome bust of the Greek God Hades, and a polychrome bust of his Queen, Persephone, of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Have a Great December Kerry.
Even as an Airbnb, the use is limited. You always need to offer a bed, a place to make meals, and a bathroom. People use the toilet in the middle of the night, where they gonna go? It's weird to provide a luxury like a sauna, but no toilet. And if it's freezing outside, you're screwed with that shower.😂 I do however appreciate your focus on all the pluses of the cabin in spite of the obvious, Kerry.😊
He said the larger models have bathrooms. The design decisions here might have to do with zoning, it might be a "shed" in some areas. Plus as a guest cabin for summer guests on a property it beats a camper and without plumbing, septic, etc. it would be cheaper to deploy.
@furycorp Yes. I watched the video,so I heard him say other models have bathrooms. No sheds should have beds and kitchens as far as zoning is concerned. Anything that has a bed is probably considered lodging. And any reasonable lodging designer should include a place to pee and crap, let's be real. 😅
I love these small units! Great look, and I love outdoor showers ! There is a good solution to make the outdoor shower private without losing the outdoor feeling. I'd love to see a walk through of the larger units. Thanks for sharing.
Good for you Kerry showing something that isn't everyone's first choice but has its own character and interesting features. I lived w'o conveniences that this is w;/o for three years in a small cabin in the woods and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Also with huge windows but where no one was ever going to be near enough to see in. I was also feeling very 'put out' to be w./o a bathroom running water or a sink. (tho main house had one)...you learn to find ways to improvise and accommodate those needs and get so accustomed to whatever it is you have to do ....that it becomes nothing ...not even an inconvenience any more and that changes you for the better. . Of course i appreciate all the conveniences we do have now but to be able to live either way is a plus. When some day we may be w/o these for a period of time due to environmental havoc those who know they can will do better than those who can't even imagine it.
Hey Kerry, this is a real cute ADU; I would love to use it as an office. I see why these work for a Hospitality unit. I also love the outside; the mixed materials, wood and metal, the big windows, the slanted roof. Very nice. Great video! Great haircut!
I can’t get over the lack of privacy! Are you meant to wear a bathing suit? If so, the most important parts are not getting washed properly! 😅 No, thanks!
Hmm, no toilet but a whole building that is a sauna? And exactly how do you make coffee without water? Do appreciate your previews and how you seem to be all over the continent looking at prefabs. Maybe the industry should have an award: “toured by Tarnow” that they can display at their model units and a cardboard cutout of you. 😊
I guess I'm the only one who ever went camping and had to use the communal restrooms/showers. As a kid, I would have loved this kind of camping. Much nicer than a tent with no room.
Afternoon Kerry, I have to tell you as a digital artist, two different designers can use the same materials, and one design will be pedestrian, and the other will be amazing. Wind River's architects have an excellent feel for how to use wood, and come out with an aesthetically pleasing look. So many manufactures use large swaths of black, and pedestrian wood, and the end result is third rate, and forgettable. Aesthetically Wind River is a definite cut above the middle of the road also ran manufacturers. They understand how to use their chosen materials, and end up with a winner. The sloped roof, the horizontal bands of dark gray to black metal, the vertical tight bands of perfectly tinted wood, and the judicious overhang really works in this model. Heck, that model could work well as an office adjacent to a home in a whole lot of neighborhoods. Great Work Kerry, Thank You. I took one last look Kerry, and that model really works!
You really have to show the bigger units in the future if possible. I like the design from what I can see. But ,,,,, I know there just staged for viewing,,,but your right that outdoor shower would be handy because from what you have shown us, it seems you will have to take a dump in the woods,,,,,,,,,
With no water coming in, I'm not sure I'd even like to stay in this thing as an AirBNB. Not too interested in showering outside, either, especially in cold weather and with no expectation of privacy - unless it's placed somewhere almost entirely inaccessible to human intrusion (which doesn't even exclude Mt. Everest at this point). It seems to me it's only useful as a backyard ADU office space. I didn't stick it out to the end of the video (though I'll be back to hear about the larger size units), as hearing the price of just the sauna told me all I needed to know about its affordability. I still enjoy seeing the tiny and prefab homes on this channel, but I have long since given up the idea that I'm ever going to be able to afford anything. Probably I'm just tormenting myself watching these things, but I guess hope dies hard.
Kerry, this concept is limited, you build a small glamour unit with no toilet or shower? Who wants to shower with no privacy at all? If the outdoor shower offered privacy plus it had a toilet and sink then you have a winner! But what is the point? No toilet, a detached sauna with a shower outdoors but offers no privacy? The designers were NOT thinking clearly, suggest go back to the drawing board, take the Ruge to the next level, lengthen it by 8 feet, add a 4X4 shower, a sink with storage and a toilet all done in quartzite or concrete with a pattern! Keep in mind no one wants an Airbnb with a common area toilet or shower! “Nobody”😂😂😂!
@@richardavery2244 The next sized up unit in Wind River’s hospitality series, The Nova, is just that! Several feet longer, slightly wider and includes a bathroom, shower and a functioning kitchenette for cooking. The Ronan is even larger and also includes a private integrated sauna! The Rogue was designed for campgrounds and hospitality resorts that have shared common amenities like bathhouses and cooking areas. It looks like Wind River designed each of their hospitality models to cater to the different tiers and types of weekend getaway retreats!
I have been to campgrounds with glamping tents, small airstreams and mini cabins without water. They just have electricity and a bed and maybe a coffee maker. There is a shared bath house. I liked staying at these places. They are cheaper than a hotel room and you don’t need to bring a tent yet you wake up to nice views. I don’t mind the walk to the bathhouse. And most folks who stay in these places do go out to eat.
@@srosegriffith9844 I understand what you're saying, but...do you really want to go without a toilet in the middle of the night after your body decides to urgently offload the Mexican food you went out to eat? I can deal with a composting toilet, but I don't see a setup for that here either.
I think they definitely could have fit a small 1/2 bath in here and then would have made this unit much more attractive for potential business set-ups.
Would it be possible to buy a couple of the bedroom ones and connect them with a bathroom in the middle ? Then you could have the larger one with a kitchen and bedroom and living room nearby. Sort of like building your own design using the various pieces they make.
I’d rather switch out the kitchenette area for a bathroom with shower and bbq outside on the porch. Have a lil fridge by the beside also acting as my nightstand.
Am great thx! how are.."Kay Good" 😅😊 Love love love the outdoor shower sauna combination but where i live gets cold. Modular minibreak style weekender thing?
With out a bathroom this lay out is not practical. It would make a good storage shed, with out the window. It is raining. or snowing, it is 35* having to go outside to a public bathroom. The sauna and shower I am not empress. it is 35* and snowing. No way I am going to take a shower . Merry Christmas, Kerry. 🎄 🎄 🎄
:You DO need water for making coffee and to rinse out the pots so there must be a place to get the water and then store enough inside right? And as for the option of it being a romantic getaway....what of the single person (like me) who would go there just to have some alone time and enjoy the quiet and solitude as well.? I love those and rate that as high a priority or even higher than a romance getaway.
At some point, it gets ridiculous. What is it with Americans and big beds. Lived in Japan… nothing wrong with a tatami mat and futon - just roll it up in the morning. I enjoy small but the space isn’t utilized well.
Sorry man, a bathroom is a necessity. When I get up and have my coffee I will need to visit the TT real fast. A sauna is a luxury. Go back to drawing board and add 10 ft and slap on a bathroom.
I can't imagine that little unit without even a sink. Or a toilet. Nonononononono.....Get up in the middle of the night and stumble to a communal latrine? The Rogue is useless.
You lost me at Hardy Board, I’m in Texas, that stuff gets hot, bends, warps, and has to be replaced. Might work in cooler climates, but NOT built for hot ones.
One giant window to break and replace costing thousands and thousands of dollars. Waking up with your partner next to you and look at it the people that are staring in the window at you.
thanks for the video, At $64k GEEEZUZ THIS SHOULD BE $24 -30K WITH A REASONABLE 5-7k PROFIT, So many great houses out there for $64 with complete kitchen, refer,laundry machines air con, maybe with Trump in this will come down to reasonable prices, brandon era is for certain 20k to 30k more than 2018-20 PS. REMEMBER YOU HAVE THE HOOK-UPS TO DO & THATS BIG BUCKS
Kerry first off the build quality of these structures look of a quality nature..However they need to send their interior designer back to school..The interior of the live in model looks like some young dudes flop pad..There is nothing attractive about a shoebox decked out in natural wood finishes..Take some effort in jazzing this unit up before highlighting it..Seems most interest in this dwelling would be lost on just the lack of presentation that went into it..The largest model looks pretty from the outside but if it’s arranged in this typical half hearted fashion their customer base will be absent..
Glamping? Since when is using an outhouse glamorous? This the ugliest interior ever. No, no, no!!!! I wouldn't even eat there because there's no way to wash my hands. What were they thinking???
I am really not interested in structures that have such limited uses. This is for a developer who wants to create a business. I don't want a business. I just want a place to live at a price that still allows me to buy groceries. BTW it's a sauna...they're all pretty much the same. No need to "tour" it. LOL
It’s utterly & shamefully amazing that we live in such a greedy capitalist society that the average individual can’t afford a decent home, which in turn we have to actually normalize living in a tool shed 😒🤦🏾♂️ !
I have to admit its very stylish, love the scandinavian style, but that's it; without a bathroom or even running water it's just a big dollhouse.

Just out of curiosity, if there's no water how do you make coffee?

I'm guessing if it's out in a forest, in the middle of the night it would be okay to just take a leak off the deck, eh ?

Bad move not putting a toilet and sink in.
Even an hospitalty suite has facilities. I don't fancy needing a wee in the middle of the night and having to go and find a lavatory.
The exterior is beautiful, but the interior looks like a glorified shipping container . Way too claustrophobic in there.
I think they definitely could have fit a small 1/2 bath in here and then would have made this unit much more attractive for potential business set-ups.
Great design materials. I'm assuming the A/C is a heat pump ?
I could do 2 of these small ones, one for sleeping one for everything else....
Would it be possible to buy a couple of the bedroom ones and connect them with a bathroom in the middle ?
Then you could have the larger one with a kitchen and bedroom and living room nearby.
Sort of like building your own design using the various pieces they make.
