The Cairnwood Tiny Home Collection
A smaller footprint. A fuller mountain life.
Cairnwood is partnering with Menlo-based River Ridge Escapes to develop a curated collection led by double-unit concepts—more ground-level room for full-time living, paired with generous outdoor space and the contours of each setting.
Four double-unit concepts are now presented for evaluation. Final model names, dimensions, specifications, package pricing, approval, availability, and release timing remain subject to confirmation.

Double-unit concepts now lead the collection, adding full-size bedrooms, useful storage, and more ground-level living. Covered outdoor rooms, charcoal metal, natural wood, stone accents, and native planting will help every selected home settle quietly into the site.
Four double-unit concepts are now presented for evaluation alongside select single-unit models. Images and plans are preliminary; no model, dimension, specification, package price, approval, availability, or release date is represented as final.
