what people are saying about modern tiny living

/

“With the world changing as fast as it is, I truly believe tiny homes are the future and recently I had the pleasure of working with the Modern Tiny Living team to build our own tiny home, and I have to say, the experience was nothing short of incredible.

From the very beginning, the team at Modern Tiny Living was there for us every step of the way. They took the time to get to know our family, our lifestyle, and our design preferences, and the result was tiny home that is beyond my family’s wildest dreams. Every detail is perfect, from the clever storage solutions to the stunning finishes. They even gave us the most thoughtful and generous gift on delivery for our kids. Our tiny is now our favorite part of our property and when you step inside it, you can feel the love it was built with.“

I have two tiny homes built by Modern Tiny Living and absolutely love them! They have become AirBnb’s and every guest from around the globe loves the experience and stay!

They are perfect for guest looking for a unique and trendy stay but at the same time modern and a beautiful tiny home that you can enjoy in all year round! We have had these tiny homes for over 4 years already and both homes have been fully booked, 365 days a year! They are a great investment for anyone looking to AirBnB them and collect extra income.

"We absolutely love our house that Modern Tiny Living built for us; it is everything we wanted and more! The quality of the house is top notch and it is evident that a tremendous amount of care is put into each individual home. We started the process with MTL in June 2018 and moved into the house full-time in December 2018. After one and a half years of living in it, we still love calling it our home. We are so thankful we partnered with Trent and the team at Modern Tiny Living to make our tiny home dreams a reality."

"I could NOT be happier in my decision to go tiny! I researched companies for a while before making the jump and I went with MTL because not only did they have an Architect and Engineer on their team (something I didn’t see a lot with other companies) but anytime I reached out to Trent with preliminary questions he ALWAYS made himself available and was never pushy, just happy to answer my many questions. Once purchasing they weren’t kidding with how customized you can go!"

I have never enjoyed living anywhere as much as I have enjoyed living in the Kokosing. It is the perfect size for one person (and a few pets!), is beautifully made, full of natural light due to the many windows, and has its own kitchen, laundry unit, and breakfast nook. I look forward to coming home every evening to my urban cottage in the woods.

I LOVE my MTL home. Its beauty and craftsmanship give me daily joy and stun every visitor. I did a lot of research before deciding on MTL and I couldn't be happier with that decision. MTL has exceeded my every expectation. The design and customization process was efficient and fun. The sales-to-delivery experience overall was amazing. The MTL team was wonderful to work with throughout the process and well after. I truly love my MTL home and highly recommend them.

Serenity is just as her name alludes. "The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled." Working with Trent and the team was seamless. Designing a home from across the country is stressful, but they were very thorough and patient with the many ideas that we had for her. We looked at hundreds of homes and companies before choosing MTL. I work from home, so our home office has worked out amazingly. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and she is just beautiful to look at. We have been living here for about 18 months now with 3 dogs and a cat. We don't feel crowded, we feel loved. It is literally just a sigh of relief how easy tiny home living is. With this design, the storage that we added, has left us with so much room that we actually don't have enough stuff to fill it now... We are soo Happy Living in "Serenity".

Being one of the OG recipients of a tiny home from MTL I feel it be worthy of a proper testimonial...for anyone interested, work with them. Period. They know their stuff, they were and continue to be helpful and pleasant to work with (yes even four years later!) The Latibule itself, well hell; it’s a tank. The home was extremely well built. Yea it has its flaws but that’s because it was so early on in their venture I feel and also, I had so wack design needs. No matter though because the bottom line is, this crew knows how to build a badass tiny home. They met me where I wanted to be with the design, accommodated and customized things that I’m sure were lofty ideas. They did it all with ease and no hesitation. MTL is whom you want to work with if your wanting to live tiny. It isn’t an easy thing to do, trust me, but the crew at MTL make the process much easier and sure as heck way more comfortable than anything i EVER could’ve imagined... let alone done myself.

"When I first discovered Modern Tiny Living on Instagram, I thought, “This is photo magic: no way are the real homes as gorgeous as these pictures!” But, figuring I’d be happy if my home was half as pretty, I worked up the courage to order one, sight unseen, from people I’d never met who worked several states away. It was one of the scarier things I’ve ever done! And, long story short, it was one of the best. Our Kokosing model, Rivendell, is every bit as beautiful as the photos. Trent and his team were a delight to work with, easily and cleverly addressing all my ideas and concerns. We ordered our tiny home before the pandemic, intending it as studio and guest space and overflow quarters for a family needing some room to spread out. It arrived a few months into Covid times, and has bailed us out of so many situations we could never have anticipated. Everything about Rivendell is so beautiful, well-crafted, and well-thought out, and it’s been a godsend to have such a sweet and peaceful and luxurious retreat in these difficult times. I could not recommend Modern Tiny Living, their staff and their homes, more highly!"

Trent, Amber and the team at Modern Tiny Living did a fantastic job working with us here at The Moth on our custom tiny home project. They were patient, budget conscious, and flexible throughout the process. The final result was a high-quality beautiful tiny home that we took on tour with us in 2022 and will continue to use year after year.

"I have been living in my custom MTL home for a couple of months now and am enchanted with it. It’s cleverly designed with a surprising amount of storage as well as absolutely beautiful inside and out. All who have come over to visit has let out a resounding, “Wow!” upon walking in.

The MTL staff was super helpful! Working with their architect and designer was such a great experience. I felt like part of the team during the whole process.

Thank you MTL for being a part of my journey! "

"We ordered our Tiny House back in February and it's been an amazing journey so far. After living in our Clover for over a month now, we can definitely confirm all the qualities that made us choose Modern Tiny Living.

Craftsmanship, design, functionality, and the love for detail are top notch and we couldn't be happier with our decision to pick the builder from Columbus. It's a young company with modern ideas and the most amazing customer service. Trent goes above and beyond to make sure we're happy in our new house. He doesn't just treat us like a customer, he treats us like friends, like a part of the tiny house family."

"I purchased Modern Tiny Living’s very first build, the original Mohican, over 3 years ago and am so pleased with the design and quality; it still looks, feels and functions like new. I look forward to the day when I can purchase another tiny home from MTL and incorporate some of their new designs ideas. The team has always been responsive and a pleasure to work with. Needless to say, I am a BIG fan!"

It was a long time dream of ours to expand our living quarters with a tiny home and we are so glad we chose to design it with Modern Tiny Living. The entire process, from concept to delivered product was an absolute dream. We are very specific design-oriented people and everything exceeded our expectations. From quality of materials to innovation of design and total ease of installation, it really is a dream come true.

Thank you to the entire team at Modern Tiny Living!

"I've been in my little place for a little over 2 years now. After a couple of small fixes, I love my place. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the look and construction. I've had no leaks. My place has done very well in Ohio winters and Florida summers. It was a slow start during Covid, but you (Trent) and your team really came through on my place. A special thanks to Amber (MTL Designer) for the interior design and decoration.

There are a lot more good things I can say about my place, but there's not enough time or room here.
Once the economy turns up again, I'll be back for another to Air B&B!"

Thanks again for the great build."

After many years of wanting a Tiny House and doing lots of research,
I found Modern Tiny Living to help me start the process by ordering a custom tiny shell.

I found the company wonderful to work with, professional and willing to do whatever it took to get the job done to accommodate my needs.

I was very happy when the house finally arrived, it was very well made and exactly what I ordered!

I was one of the very early customers of Modern Tiny Living. They've never failed me and it's been fun to watch them grow.

I chose them because the chic and very practical design of the Kokosing was perfect. It just made you feel happy inside. For us, it allowed guests to enjoy the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay with all the comfort they needed.

Being an early adopter, there were the inevitable issues that arise with a new model. Modern Tiny Living stood behind its product and corrected the problems expeditiously and with a smile. That's what I call service. When I buy my next tiny house it will be from Modern Tiny Living.

MTL built us a very beautiful Catalina model home. They walked us through the interior design to get it perfect. We had some late changes towards the end but MTL was more than accommodating to make it work. We look forward to having them build us another future tiny home.

"When we set out to create a one-of-a-kind experience at Rocky Mount Mills in Rocky Mount, NC we knew we needed to find a builder who shared our vision & passion for beautiful, tiny spaces. That's when we stumbled upon Modern Tiny Living.

That was over 5 years ago! Our guests love staying at River and Twine, our tiny house hotel. The unique finishes and experience keeps them coming back to visit. Work with Modern Tiny Living on this project was a great decision!"
