As an architect, this is one of the most beautifully done tiny homes I saw on UA-cam and I saw many. Bright owner, bright design, bright soul. Brings back hope in humanity.. 😊😍
As a non-architect, I agree! Grandma’s shelves got me in the feels. I can hear her saying, “why don’t you put my china up there?” 🤣 The recipe cutting board is so special. I’m going to buy your book. I’m anxious to see more builds! That Japanese wood is “ the trick” 😅. PNW is magical and expensive. Methinks I could build this cheaper in my neck 😂 (Ky/Tn border) however, all of California and half of Colorado moving here has driven up prices.
I was already sold on how pretty this house is, but the fact that he calls his home "Rivendell" is beyond fantastic.

Tiny Home Tours, THANK YOU!! I had a blast working with you guys, especially Brian. And to everyone else, thanks for all of your wonderful & kind comments. It's an honor to give you a glimpse of my home, "Rivendell." I hope it inspires you as you curate your own space to reflect your story and as you dream about how to be intentional & creative with your home, especially when given a lot of limitations. For those wondering why I named my place Rivendell, here's one of my favorite quotes from The Lord of the Rings, which describes Imladris / Rivendell. It casts a great vision for what a warm & welcoming home can be all about: “Frodo was now safe in the Last Homely House east of the Sea. That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, ‘a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.’ Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings) Thank you again, everyone! Peace be with you, Stephen P.S. if anyone is interested in the house plans, look up the Modern Alpine Cabin by DEN Outdoors (check out my Explore Rivendell website link in the description).
You've really inspired me to do something like this, in Africa Zambia to be specific, very true we often forget that we are nature and connecting with nature is a must do, I can pay whatever price for this. God bless 🙏
I can’t tell you how much I love this. Instantly followed you on IG. I also can’t stress enough to friends and family how important it is to be connected to nature. I bought a 20 acre property that’s mostly forest and it makes me so happy just walking through it. You’ve inspired me to build a cabin right in the middle of it 😊
I really like how you add sentimentality to your functional objects! (like the cutting board) What a wonderful way to add more meaning without having to add clutter or forgo sentimental items!
I love everything about this video. The simplicity, the beauty, the functionality... but most of all the sentimentality. This is the kind of person I cherish😊
perfectly good-sized house, lots of curb appeal, great aesthetics, dreamy location! most of these other houses are ridiculously long and narrow or have weird designs and window placements. i love how simple & straightforward his house looks.
Rarely am I moved to drop a comment, but I have to say that I have watched MANY tiny house videos and they are generally the same. Yours however... just hit me differently. So authentic, helpful, inspiring and real. Not only that, you made it seem achievable! I hope to something similar as a floating home on the Columbia in the near future. Very well done on your great build Stephen. Thanks so much!
"Frantic and suffering souls" resonated with me. May today be a more peaceful day for myself and others. What a charming and beautiful home this is. The area and the vibe is so idyllic.
Stephen has one of the most gorgeous tiny homes you've featured - simple, yet inviting, defined in every space (except his junk drawer). And to think that he lives right in my gorgeous backyard makes it even more appealing! Maybe I've even hiked right by it without knowing. Living my dream! This has me down a rabbit hole on his website and social media after he mentioned Ann Voskamp, his connection to creation (Creator), and his new book! I'm sold! Thank you for featuring his incredible home and human being!

Ahhh thank you!! 🙏🏼 Ann is amazing, isn’t she?? And thanks for picking up my book! (And yes, the junk drawer could use a little organization. Lol)
Enjoyed watching the video of your home. Everything was well planned with regards to clean lines and minimalism. The surrounding forest is very calming. Hope your book does well.
spice rack, wall mounted storage, and cutting board are really nice ideas. definitely going to remember those. Sorry to hear about your mother. the laser engraving is very special. I'm glad you were able to preserve her memory
What a stunning home and the property it's on - wow! You have created a little slice of paradise there. I hope you enjoy it thoroughly because I loved watching it :-) Well done and thanks for sharing.
Wow...this was an epic tour!! A beautiful mix of style..comfort and function as well as being one of the most aesthetically inviting tiny spaces. Stephen...you have some mad skills when it comes to your functionally beautiful space...the design...decor...as well as the overall vibe .. so I am sure that carries over into your profession and will be checking out your new book and socials. My son and DIL moved to the Portland area (from central Ohio) a little over a year ago for the reason you hit on...nature. When not traveling for work..they spend their free time in it...hiking...camping...fly fishing and just soaking in the beauty. I laughed when you mentioned your love of The Lord of the Rings...my son and I both are huge fans of that as well. I always enjoy checking out all the different ways people live and decorate their tiny homes and I truly enjoyed this one Tiny Home Tours!
It was seeing Ravendale on Nakamoto Forestry Products that convinced me to wrap my craftsman style house in burned Japanese cedar. It was much more expensive but well worth it. People always pass the house and ask “that’s beautiful, how did you do it?”
You had me in tears at the end there! Your words resonated so deeply with my soul and my longing for this sort of life. ❤ You’re so blessed to have landed in such an exquisite place in the forest! Your cabin is stunning. ❤❤ Thank you for the wonderful tour. It was very inspiring.
Totally agree that we lost our connection with ourselves! I am in a stressful corporate job, and I struggle a lot to find my connection with nature and myself. How did this happen? Lots of demands coming from our jobs. We were taught that only the outcome matters... I now plan hard to get out sooner so that I can at least enjoy and cherish the remaining best part of my life. Great video and lovely build.
This is a very beautiful home. Love your mother's recipe on the laser engraved cutting board. The bathroom is just awesome. What a beautiful location as well.
I love your space 🎉 I dream of pretty much exactly this. Cozy in Mother Nature with the trees and animals. And an A Frame home. You are blessed ❤Thank You for the tour 😊
An authentic Shou Sugi Ban exterior couldn't have been cheap!😳 ...but man it's gorgeous!

Yeah it was about 40% more than traditional siding. But bc it was such a small build, it wasn’t that much more in the grand scheme. Plus it’ll last 100 years without any maintenance… and it’s naturally water-, fire-, & bug-resistant!
So cool that you went with Den Outdoors. I've seen a lot of their homes are mainly in the Northeast, so it's nice to see that you can build them out west.

I’ve become a huge fan of DEN Outdoors. Mike & Liz have created a beautiful company and community.
Nice setup and design. Wonderful space and location. I fell in love with the PNW many years ago and actually moved to Seattle back in 2001. Sometimes I feel I should have stayed but all my family is here on the east coast. I loved all the rain forests and how lush and green everything was / is. All the best to you and your wonderful place … thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely steal some of your designs and ideas for my small home in the woods. Thanks again!
Sir, this is the most inviting tiny home I have seen. It has a very clever design and a wonderful balance between what's necessary to live and what gives life meaning. I hope you have health and that your dreams look back at you every morning in your mirror. Spirit keep you well. ❤
Stunning home and the perfect message. I’m going to share this video with my two friends who continue to try to discourage me from selling my 2K sq ft house that consumes my time and money just to maintain it and keep it beautiful. It owns ME. I’m dreaming of and planning on going tiny. Hopefully your explanation will help them to understand. You’ve created a sanctuary and I can imagine the peace it brings you nestled in the forest. Thank you 💜
What an outstanding video. What a great reminder and personal philosophy about life and what's important. Congratulations on one of the best thought out small homes I've ever seen, and I've easily looked at over a hundred. On a personal note, your bedroom is outstanding, but Im too old to climb a ladder to go to bed. However, there are alternatives to that layout. Thank you again for this great tour, and congratulations on your beautiful home.
What a beautiful Spirit you have! Beautiful home I like everything except the live edge counter ... and I would go with lighter colors than black (many dark days in the Pacific NW) And the best part the TREES are huge on your land. You are Blessed. Enjoy your home.
Your home is absolutely delightful! So cozy, every corner has a purpose, my fav is the kitchen & your property is breathtaking! The cathedral is heaven. God bless & enjoy. ps so sorry for your losses..🙏🏡
Beautiful home I like I like my Condolences to you ♥️ on the passing of your mom may the lord continue to comfort 🙏 ❤️ and guide through your grief it last a time and time God bless
You have achieved the perfect balance of minimalism with warm and welcoming. Your home is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

It was a pleasure to see the home you have created Sir. 😍❤️💛💚🖤👑💯
Your beautiful home encapsulates the magical serenity of Rivendell. Thankyou for inviting us in. 🦋
You've really inspired me to do something like this, in Africa Zambia to be specific, very true we often forget that we are nature and connecting with nature is a must do, I can pay whatever price for this. God bless 🙏
You’ve done such a wonderful job! I’m thrilled for you and really touched by your family treasures. I wish you well, Stephen!
Both Stephen and his home are a gem!

It's good to know others have realized we are Nature🙏
I love the house. I really loved the engraved recipe board !!! How wonderful and sweet is that .
I love everything about this video. The simplicity, the beauty, the functionality... but most of all the sentimentality. This is the kind of person I cherish😊
absolutely agree. Very sweet to have a glimpse into this person's life.
Interesting guy, and absolutely wonderful, intentional home ❤
I could listen to him reading the phone book.
perfectly good-sized house, lots of curb appeal, great aesthetics, dreamy location! most of these other houses are ridiculously long and narrow or have weird designs and window placements. i love how simple & straightforward his house looks.
I think it's because the others are on wheels and can go down a highway and this one cannot.

This one is The. Best. Ever.

This is nice. Most tiny homes overwhelm me bcs of how “small” and clutter they may be at times but this was nice and refreshing.
what an amazing place to live. looks so peaceful. the house is perfectly designed and absolutely beautiful. thanks for sharing
The quote at the end. Absolutely 💯 truth! Love love love what he did with this! That bathroom is gorgeous!

Such a beautiful, well-designed home surrounded by such lush, green land! Just perfect and restful.😊

Best video and tiny home I’ve ever seen. I watched every minute of it. Thanks

That cutting board recipe is so cool!! Sorry for your loss ❤
Totally agree that we lost our connection with ourselves! I am in a stressful corporate job, and I struggle a lot to find my connection with nature and myself. How did this happen? Lots of demands coming from our jobs. We were taught that only the outcome matters... I now plan hard to get out sooner so that I can at least enjoy and cherish the remaining best part of my life.
Great video and lovely build.
Well done. Beautiful and very useful. I could live there.
