Dwellers - Right-Sized Livable Luxury Tiny Homes, Modular Homes & ADUs

Right-Sized Livable Luxury for
Your Exact Needs.

The magic of Wind River is that we meet the very real needs of very real people. Some might see a tiny home, but we see a creative home addition, an in-law apartment, a future rental property, and a brilliant investment. A housing solution for now that’s an investment for the future.

Starter Home

The state of the market has made buying a first home more difficult than ever before. That’s where we come in.

Downsizing

Aging and changing needs require us to rethink our housing solutions, and Wind River homes are a great option when it’s time to downsize.

Rental Property

Real estate investments and passive income are a smart financial move, especially when the property can serve a greater purpose before becoming a rental.

The Wind River Advantage.

Traditional construction is notorious for overpromising and underdelivering. Increased timelines and cost are common with weather delays and the challenge of coordinating numerous subcontractors with competing schedules. As this NY Times article discusses, traditional construction is the only industry of its size that is becoming less efficient over time. It's time to innovate. Wind River combines the advantages of off-site construction with our commitment to excellence of both design and craftsmanship – an ideal solution for your home or development project.

Build can be delayed if inclement weather occurs.

Our climate-controlled environment ensures building and material integrity and prevents weather delays.

What Dwellers Say About Us.

"Wind River Tiny Homes made my dreams come true and have brought me into a new era of my life that I am absolutely loving! Their whole team is so wonderful to work with. Their designers were super patient with me (a first time home builder), and I love everything we created! The space is so efficiently designed that (combined with the ceiling height) it really does not feel tiny at all. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship used makes the home feel like a luxury resort— beautiful, elegant, and cozy."

- Hannah H.

"The folks at Wind River worked with me to complete my custom build. They worked hard to fulfill my dream, and the result was exactly what I’d envisioned. I can’t speak highly enough about the kindness, expertise, care and professionalism the team at Wind River exhibit. If you want a beautiful, high quality tiny home, look no further!"

- Adrianne A.

"I had an awesome experience working with Wind River Tiny Homes as they built my 36' gooseneck tiny home on wheels! Everyone there is very personable and professional and their craftsmanship is outstanding! Wind River welcomed my input and ideas and they made me feel so welcome each time I travelled to Tennessee to see the progress. I highly recommend Wind River!"
