Stanley stands as a testament to the allure of simplicity and the rustic charm of log cabin living, compacted into an efficient tiny house. Expertly crafted by Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses, the Stanley model invites you into a different kind of dwelling. Unassuming in its 8x12 single-axle trailer framework, Stanley surprises with its smooth fusion of ingenuity and design.
As you approach Stanley, your attention is immediately drawn to the cleverly designed folding porch. It's a space-saving miracle that comes to life, expanding to provide a welcoming outdoor area where one can enjoy the breeze or a comforting cup of coffee. Adorning the porch is a cantilevered roof, offering shelter from the elements. When it's time for Stanley to hit the road, these eaves conveniently fold to maintain the home's legal highway width, ensuring a safe, hassle-free journey.
Stepping inside Stanley, you're welcomed by the gentle glow of a wood stove, its warmth radiating throughout the compact space. Nestled in one corner, the small but efficiently designed kitchen affords all the amenities you need. Within arm's reach, a compact bath ensures convenience and comfort, echoing the intelligent use of space that is a hallmark of this model.
A cozy sleeping loft crowns the interior of the Stanley, inviting you to retreat into its snug confines at the end of the day. Its clever design leaves just enough space for a little bit of luxury - a small couch for cozy evenings, or perhaps a desk for those inspired moments.
Although the Stanley's dry weight ranges from 4800-7000 lbs, depending on the type of logs sourced and the features chosen, a key design goal was to maintain a reasonable weight under 5,200 lbs. This intentional design choice makes the home more accessible and portable, allowing it to be towed by a 1/2 ton truck, or possibly even a V-6 vehicle.
Despite the 2021 update, which changed the Stanley from a true log cabin style to a stick-framed design due to wood scarcity, the essence of the model remains unchanged. The rustic aura of the Stanley endures, and with its small footprint and simple layout, it continues to be one of the most affordable options in the Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses' lineup.
Stanley offers a living experience that is both distinctive and intimate. It celebrates the grace of minimalist living and brings together the warmth of a rustic log cabin with the mobility of a tiny house. Stanley invites you on a journey of simpler, more conscious living, with the open road always ready to take you to your next destination.
Stanley model offers a refreshing perspective on minimalist living without compromising on comfort or style. Its design takes into consideration the practicalities of a mobile lifestyle while retaining the heart and soul of a traditional rustic cabin. Despite the shift from true log cabin style to stick framing due to wood scarcity, the spirit of the rustic cabin feel remains impressively intact.
