This extra-wide tiny house puts the bedroom on the ground and the vibes in the wood

Tired of tiny houses that make you climb a ladder at 2 a.m. to pee? Same, and The Thicket literally said “nope” and put everything on one level.

It’s extra-wide, extra-bright, and still road-legal at 10'6" wide and 34 feet long, which changes how livable the whole layout feels in a big way.

It’s also plug-and-play, so hookups don’t feel like a science project, which means you can actually move in without a week of YouTube tutorials.

Built by Rewild Homes, the same crew who started with their own DIY build and have now cranked out 70+ tiny homes, this one’s a showcase that’s headed for long-term rental on Vancouver Island.

A layout that actually makes sense

This house lives like a real home because it refuses to do the claustrophobic loft thing and keeps your life on one floor.

The bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room all sit on the main level, which is wildly refreshing for a THOW and wildly practical for future you.

There’s still a loft, but it’s dedicated to storage, not midnight acrobatics, so you can stash seasonal gear without sacrificing headspace or sleep.

The extra-wide chassis and simple hookups

The secret to the roomy feel is a raised, cantilevered floor system on a tri-axle trailer rated to 21,000 lbs, which lets the house stretch beyond a standard trailer deck without drama.

It’s a 34-foot build, and that extra length plus the width is what turns tiny-house-as-hallway into actual rooms you can breathe in.

Power is a standard RV-style 50-amp twist-lock that tucks under the frame, so you’re not reinventing the wheel just to turn the lights on.

Water is literally a potable hose hookup, which is the dream if you like low-effort, high-function setups.

Waste ties into septic with a straightforward connection, so no mad-scientist composting unless you want it.

Propane runs the on-demand hot water and pairs with the range, which keeps the electrical load reasonable without sacrificing creature comforts.

Cedar, metal, and a no-fuss shed roof

The exterior mixes warm cedar with standing-seam metal, then throws open a set of French doors to blur inside and out like it’s a tiny house mullet: business siding, party entry.

They even designed around transport rules, removing protruding fixtures so everything measures within legal limits when you hit the road.

The deck is yellow cedar, which ages to that dreamy silvery gray and won’t rot, aka “low maintenance but still gorgeous” energy.

It’s actually designed to level easily with adjustable feet, which is the kind of thoughtful detail you appreciate the first time you park on an almost-flat spot.

The bedroom gets its own entry so you can sneak out with a coffee, a dog, or a midnight thought without walking through the whole house.

A simple shed roof means you only need one line of gutters and makes rainwater collection basically dummy-proof on installation day.

Light, views, and no skylight tax

Instead of punching pricey skylights into the roof, they used high transom windows to flood the place with light while keeping privacy in check and wall space intact.

Bonus: transoms are way cheaper than skylights and won’t tempt the weather gods like a hole in your roof does.

Yes, French doors eat wall space, but let’s be honest—floods of daylight and open deck flow are worth it in a tiny footprint.

A kitchen that feels like a forest and cooks like a real one

The sink is manufactured granite, which sounds fancy because it is—and it’s also tougher and quieter than stainless for daily use.

Above it is an awning window, which means fresh air even in the rain and no annoying midline bar cutting your view in half.

Awning also means you can crack it when you’re simmering onions without turning your kitchen into a sauna.

Screens are standard too, but they ship them installed at delivery so they don’t get wrecked in transit, which is the kind of logistics win nobody talks about but everybody needs.

They leaned into the forest vibe with cedar shelving that echoes the cedar ceiling for that “cabin core, but make it modern” look.

Counters are acacia butcher block, finished with an in-house natural oil that’s food-safe, non-toxic, and easy to refinish when life happens.

It also keeps the wood looking rich without that plasticky sheen you get from varnishes.

Cabinets are a custom deep forest green that reads almost black until the sun hits, and then—boom—lush, moody, woodland kitchen.

Vent hood is ducted outside, which matters more than people realize, especially when you’re cooking on propane in a compact space.

Yes, it’s a real propane oven and cooktop, so your sourdough won’t suffer just because you downsized.

And yes, there’s a full-size fridge, so grocery runs aren’t a daily sport and meal prep doesn’t require Tetris-level skills.

Living and dining, minus the built-ins you’ll regret

There’s a small eating bar for two, but they skipped hard-built benches and fixed seating so renters (and future you) can reconfigure the flow without calling a carpenter.

Behind the couch are three tall vertical windows that feel like art—light, greenery, and just a touch of drama without the big blank-glass heat loss.

Builders groan because it’s extra work, but visitors comment on them more than almost anything else in the house for a reason.

Heat, air, and the moisture problem everyone worries about

They solved humidity like grown-ups: strategically placed opening windows, a vented range hood, a proper bathroom fan, and two ceiling fans to keep air moving.

Primary heat is an electric fireplace that’s actually rated to warm the whole home, so you’re getting ambiance and function in one swoop.

Because the bedroom is at the far end, it gets its own electric panel heater so closing the door doesn’t mean waking up in a meat locker.

If you want AC, skip the noisy minisplit on a tiny facade and just plug in a good portable during the hot months without overcomplicating the system.

A second ceiling fan in the bedroom helps, too, and keeps the air feeling fresh without a constant hum from the outside.

A spa bathroom that doubles as a hallway

The bathroom’s big enough to move around like a human, not a contortionist, and it borrows headspace for a storage loft above so your towels and camping gear both have a home.

Laundry is a ventless combo washer/dryer that sips power, installs easily, and rewards people who do smaller loads more often.

The shower is enclosed in glass with tile on the walls and floor, and the backlit mirror has a built-in defog so your morning routine actually feels like a treat.

A real bedroom with its own front door

Main-floor bedroom means no ladder gymnastics and no getting locked out of your bed if you’re injured or just over it after a long day.

You also get closets, adjustable shelving, a bed with outlets and USBs, and that private door to your own tiny deck that makes morning coffee feel like a ritual.

Built to move and last

Interior walls are sturdy pine boards, not drywall, so they won’t crack the first time you tow, and you can actually hang art without guessing what’s behind paper and mud.

Handmade doors carry the same warm wood tone through the space, which does more for “cozy” than any paint color ever will.

What it costs and who it’s for

Rewild builds custom, but this size typically starts around 160k CAD, and this show home with all the goodies lands at 180k CAD.

It’s destined to become a long-term rental on Vancouver Island, which frankly sounds like the ideal test drive for living small without compromising on the good stuff.

If you want tiny without the “camping in a shoebox” vibe, this is the blueprint that proves width beats loft ladders every single time.
