The Penny's Guest House maximizes the interior space on a tiny footprint. It is a simple, functional and beautiful design that allows for all the necessary amenities win a minimal space at an affordable price.
- Will Last Decades: We use thick timber construction and extensive notching and other overbuilding details so you do not have to worry about harsh weather conditions like high wind, snow, heat, cold or humid climates. Each Penny is fully insulated with a vapor barrier and built with a Mature Redwood external skin for a 20 year decay warranty. The internal framing, flooring and walls are built in Douglas-Fir and Sugar Pine for a lighter colored aromatic finish.
- Easy Design and Sizing: You will receive via email detailed drawings within 5 business days of ordering. The drawings allow you to easily see what will work and what needs adjusting. We encourage you to take your time with the drawings and add the final appliances you plan to use so you can be sure they will fit and work as planned. While we don't ship appliances or assist with them, you want to be sure your home has been designed completely, appliances and all before giving us the green light to build. Many details can be adjusted including the roof pitch, window sizing, etc. and you can add custom details as well.
- You Install or We Install?: Each tiny home is fully erected in the shop for easy re-assembly. No drilling, sanding or cutting needed. Just bolt the pieces back together. The typical Tiny Home is a 2 week reassembly and will require a concrete pad or other foundation be built ahead of time. If you are not interested in putting up the home, let us know. We can send a team anywhere in the U.S. to install for you.
- Electrical and Plumbing: Kits ship with everything you need except the final roofing. An asphalt shingle roof or a metal roof is recommended to maximize weather resistance and longevity. Tile roofs can be accomodated, but require beefing up the structure further to handle the significant extra weight.

Assembly and Care
Your Penny's Guest House ships in panels ready to be reassembled. As with all our products, we preassemble all structures in our shop to ensure everything fits together. All hardware is included, and all parts are clearly labeled before shipping. We also include detailed step-by-step instructions.
Your home is best built on a concrete pad as the foundation. During the design phase of your order, we will clearly detail all the pad’s specifications including the placement of the conduit for your HVAC systems. It is best to pour the pad at least 30 days before assembly to allow the concrete to cure.
Electrical, plumbing, and heating will be addressed during the design process, so all the details are spelled out. Rough electrical and plumbing will be included with the structure, but the final plumbing and electrical work should be done by local licensed contractors.
Installation Help.
If you would like help with the erection of your home atop your already completed concrete pad, just let us know. We have our own team for installations in the Continental U.S. and can quote. We can do the complete erection of the home including doors, windows, interior walls, and final roofing. What we cannot do is pour the concrete pad or do the final electrical and plumbing connections. This work is best done by local contractors.
Care: You should expect your home to last many decades. The exterior is California Redwood and with a bit of resealing every few years, it will stay lovely for decades. If you’d like to keep your siding and interior wood finishes looking their best for decades please visit: Care and Finish.
