Small is Green



Built By Tiny Green Cabins LLC
Tiny Green Cabins are transportable so you can take them wherever life takes you.

Tiny Green Cabins are earth friendly cabins ranging is size from 48 square feet (Mini-Sota model) to 252 square feet (Denali Model) The Wildflower cabin is 120 square feet and built with green certified materials, reclaimed products as well as recycled materials. The insulation used is Soft Touch Cotton insulation made from recycled blue jeans. Even the floors are insulated!

Maybe it is time to start thinking about adding a Tiny Green Cabin to your back as an office and saving your daily commute and reduce your carbon footprint.
Small buildings mean less materials, less energy to heat & cool and more green space.

Install a home office studio in your back yard, work from home and eliminate your commute, then you could get rid of your car (or drive it less often). The money you could save in a year would pay for your studio!

An added benefit is that Tiny Green Cabins are transportable, and you can take them wherever life takes you. Because Tiny Green Cabins are transportable they also are not subject to property tax (check your local codes). Tiny Green Cabins are built with the same craftsmanship and quality found in the finest homes; they will last for generations. Since they will last a lifetime, the savings in property taxes for a Tiny Green Cabin will pay for a large portion of the purchase price over time.

Another benefit is at the lake, river, or woodland retreat they can sit closer to the shoreline allowing you the pleasure of seeing and hearing the gurgling of the water, swish of the waves or the soft sound of light falling rain on the roof.
