Rusty Perch Tiny Home

This tiny house is powered by a hydro electric system. The nearby stream supplies water to turn the hydro generator. Electricity is stored in batteries until it is needed. The electrical usage in this house has been greatly reduced due to a number of decisions in how the cabin is used. We have chosen to have a propane refrigerator, stove, hot water heater, and heat for the cabin. These appliances have helped us to greatly reduce the amount of electrical usage. We have also used only LED lights throughout the cabin. Due to our choice for low electrical usage we have opted NOT to have a TV, microwave, toaster or coffee maker. (For your coffee we have a French Press.) You can bring your own laptop or other devices to watch online media if you really feel the need, but we encourage you to unplug and enjoy the beauty that is all around you. Our cabin has a regular 110V house system. Thus you can bring you things like laptops, CPAP machines or other devices that you use at your home, but please keep in mind we are trying to use as little electric as possible. If too much electric is used then the batteries will completely discharge and you will need to wait for the batteries to recharge before electricity is available.
