“Very impressed and inspired. Your cabin is not simply beautiful, but off-grid. I don't think many would guess from the photos!” - Matt Cassidy, Cabin Porn

These are the blueprints for the Raven Original (+ bathroom version), featured widely in a variety of online articles, and in print, including the books Cabin Porn: Inside  and Tiny House: Live Small, Dream Big.

Created by designer and builder Pete Long, at just 490 square feet its size offers a more simplified version of an out-of-town escape than some people covet. A larger structure closer to the water was the original plan, but Pete shifted his focus to a natural flat zone in the trees and scaled the building down to avoid altering the landscape. "I didn't want it to stand out as this garish object. It was meant to be a surprise if you found it while out hiking the woods”.

“This design came about as a collection of ideas filed away over the years that I’d been wanting to test out. As well, I wanted to build it alone, to enjoy the freedom to maintain my own pace and have full control of the process, so I drew up the plans always thinking about straightforward & buildable methods for working solo. I built the original - footings to final finishes - in 4 months; more hands should make the process even quicker.”

I wanted to reach out to you and say thank you for the Raven House Original plans.  I ordered them from you about 2 years ago; we have spent the past 17 months building the cabin using the plans and have truely enjoyed the process.  We have been so pleased with the plans and the house and how it has turned out.  The cabin is located on the side of a mountain in the Adirondack Park, NY.   Thank you once again!”  -Mike Vance
