VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Nestled in the lush forests of the Oregon Coast, Tara and Bryan’s Terrapin Station is more than a home, it’s a dream built to fit perfectly among towering Douglas firs. Measuring 12 feet wide by 36 feet long, this custom teeny home blends timeless charm, smart functionality, and a deep personal connection to the couple’s favorite band, the Grateful Dead.

Built by True Form Tiny Homes, Terrapin Station features thoughtful design choices that maximize comfort, storage, and connection to nature:
-Grateful Dead–inspired design with unique wood finishes and nods to the band throughout.
-A chef-friendly kitchen with generous counter space, a farmhouse sink, and clever storage solutions.
-A cozy living area with built-in seating, storage drawers, and an electric fireplace perfect for Oregon’s rainy nights.
-A spa-like bathroom with a deep soaking tub overlooking the forest canopy.
-A light-filled bedroom with abundant storage, a skylight for stargazing, and panoramic forest views.
-The property’s story is just as remarkable as the house itself. Originally listed for $80,000, the couple purchased this forest retreat for just $30,000. With minimal monthly expenses—around $100 for water, power, and internet—this lifestyle offers financial freedom without sacrificing comfort.

In this full tour, you’ll learn:
-How Tara and Bryan transitioned from van life to stationary tiny home living.
-The challenges and victories of building an ADU in a heavily wooded property.
-Why they chose a foundation build over a trailer, and how they navigated city requirements.
-The lifestyle benefits of living in a small space—reduced bills, closer relationships, and a stronger connection to nature.

Key Features You’ll See:
-Farmhouse kitchen with multi-use storage
-Built-in couch with hidden drawers
-Deep bathtub with treetop views
-Custom exterior wood burning technique for durability
-Outdoor deck with fire pit, hammock, and hot tub

Why You’ll Love This Tour:
Whether you’re a fan of the Grateful Dead, a nature lover dreaming of living among the trees, or someone exploring the possibilities of downsizing, this tour offers inspiration, practical design ideas, and a heartfelt story about turning a dream into reality.
