Couple's Cozy Log Cabin Home Built from Scratch with 40 Trees from the Land
This couple built a small log cabin from scratch using trees from their land. Rémi and Noémie call themselves the Wildcrafters because they make everything by hand, including their homes. They started off by building a tiny house with reclaimed materials and lived in it for around 5 years, and then they built this incredible tiny log cabin with a greenhouse attached and they live in it full time.
You can follow and find out more about Noémie and Rémi at The Wildcrafters:

And you can check out more about Noémie's art on her website here:

The log cabin is about 600 square feet and has 3 floors. The main floor has a bathroom, kitchen, living and dining room, the second-floor loft has 2 bedrooms, and the third-floor attic is an artist studio for Noémie.
In addition to building their own home, the couple also plans to become more self-sufficient with their food production and have already started preparing large gardens as well as a greenhouse with raised beds and a rainwater collection tote. They have a well, they collect firewood from the land, they are connected to the province's hydro electric grid, and they use a composting toilet and an outhouse.
The couple is thriving in their rural and remote lifestyle but they admit that it isn't always easy. These projects are all a lot of work so they are trying to pace themselves after realizing they can't make their dream a reality all at once. So they're pacing themselves and developing patience :)
Thanks for watching!

Much admiration for people putting in the work to "do their own gentle, constructive, conscious thing." Many years of joy for them in there. Well done.
Thank you so much! We are indeed very happy and we love to spread the message that it is possible for everybody to build their own dreamlife!
Nice when people find their soul mate. Look at what they can accomplish.
Well said! thank you xox
Really beautiful. Carrying on his father’s dream. They seem like a lovely, balanced couple. Gorgeous house.
thank you for this! xox much love to you!
Not only is their home beautiful, but their story is very satisfying on a soul level. I wish them great success expanding their small community, and I wish Noemie the best possible outcome with her MS.
thank you for your kind words! wish you the best! xox
Using forestry stewardship practices for their choice of trees for wood for their cabin is excellent! What a beautiful place! Rémi and Noémie, you are doing wonderful work! Félicitations!
Thank you!! It was very important to us to be as gentle with the forest as we could during the building process, and we can say that the forest as always loved us back for it!
And it will continue to do so!😊Magnifique!@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503
Such a cozy room (such a cozy room) The windows are illuminated By - the - evening - sun - shine - through - them Fiery - gems - for you, only for you Such a beautiful life you have crafted Rémi and Noémie- may healing be ton meilleur ami, Noémie 💚

I can't wait to see this! Building by hand and working towards becoming self-sufficient!

Using the land gifted to you by your father the way he dreamed of is just wow. Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
It felt like a good way to honor his memory! we are so grateful for this place it became our life's mission to take really good care of it!
Your channel has gotten huge. Nice work. Love the stories.
Congratulations for all that you have accomplished in living your dream life. Life will bring challenges but I am sure you can handle it all, one step, one day, at a time. Take care.
Thank you so much xoxo
Beautifully built! Kudos to all your hard work and dedication!
Thank you! xox
This is Breath Taking Scenery and Your Home/Land is Gorgeous. Being Self-sufficient is Great and Building Your Father's Dream is Awesome. Take one Month,Week,Day and Time You will do Fine. Thanks for Sharing Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏❤️🥰😇 From Pennsylvania,USA
thank you so much for this! xoxo
very inspiring!
Thank you ❤
Bonjour ! J'ai vu un épisode de GoVan avec vous et cela m'a fait bien plaisir de voir votre environnement durant l'hiver. Je suis heureuse pour vous. C'est un beau projet !
Merci beaucoup! c'est le projet d'une vie, on continue d'y apporter des améliorations chaque année! xoxoxo
Oh so cozy!! How lucky they are to call that theirs!
Indeed we are very grateful for everything we own! :)
It's so stunning!@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503
what a beautiful location and build- very inspiring as I look to my next steps. I really need to work towards my dreams not settle. One life people
thank you for sharing this! xox
Personally, I would be scared of bears... but I'm a wuss who's always lived in the city 😂 This is beautiful and SO impressive 😯 I really hope these lovely people will manage to attract like-minded folks to create a tiny house community on their land. That may also provide the support Noemi may need in future, so she can carry on living exactly as she wants. Respect and best wishes ❤
There is no bear in our area! haha Thank you for these lovely words, wish you all the best as well! xoxo
@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503 I like it so much better now I know it's bear-free!! Don't get me wrong, bears are beautiful but... in documentaries
Trees provide shelter, furniture, food, shade. If we take care of the land the land will take care of us. The USA is so wasteful and not understand what is needed to take care of what we have been blessed with!!! I love how you re-purpose items and save our world and economy.❤❤❤
Thank you! for sure we all need to be grateful for the amazing things we can do while caring for the land, being gentle and eco conscious is easier than most people think! xoxo
The craftsmanship is amazing. Very eccentric, yet classy and clean.
Your art and woodworking is absolutely amazing and beautiful. PS Not trying to be weird but I love your hair.
thank you!! you make me blush :)
Noemie and Remi have created an amazing space using so few purchased resources, and with their own hands. They are both exquisite artists and craftspeople! I was thinking as they talked about the challenges of doing everything themselves that they need a small community there... so much easier when we can work together and share the resources, and share the workload! I look forward to checking out their KZhead channel. Sio glad you shared their story!
Your tiny cabin is beautiful. You have the life. Have a blessed life in your beautiful giant home.
french mayybé? I think oui. Nice place! The couch is beautiful.
French Canadian! :D And thank you very much!
Beautiful home!! You both are very talented!
thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been building homes since 1974. my wife and I really enjoyed this video. i turned it on just because I wanted to see your greenhouse and then I got concerned because you’re using local timber which means you may have timber pests. Be well
Thank you for your concern!
I love their home and Noémie's art is fantastic. Both of them seem like they would be wonderful to know.
Thank you! I'm sure you are an awesome person to know as well !! xoxoxox
love these two!
So sorry Remi for the loss of your dad, He would be very proud of what you folks have created. Love how Remi & Noemie designed this house and property it is epic, Love Noemi's art work it is perfect and blends right into the cabin and the skills of Remi. I wish you all the best Noemi on the MS, take it easy You two have done a wonderful job, many happy years living in this beautiful place. London, Ontario Canada.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Best wishes to you as well! xoxo
Incredibly inspiring! The attention to detail and the love they have for their crafts and daily living is amazing.
Thank you so much :)
It was nice to hear also the negative aspects of living that kind of lifestyle shared openly. All is not just sunshine and roses anywhere, what matters is that your heart is where your home is
thank you :)
The lean to green house and stone raised beds are beautiful assets
Thank you! We are really loving that space too! it keeps getting better and better :D
What delightful and ambitious people. I’m in awe of them and what they have created. My very best thoughts and wishes go out to her in her journey of living with M.S. I’ve sent up a little prayer for God’s Grace to surround her as she navigates her life and most incredible talent. Thank you for the opportunity to see this lovely couple and what they’ve done so thoughtfully and intentionally (& beautifully).
thank you so much for your kind words! You are adorable xoxox
Beautiful home! 😊❤
Wonderful place. Don’t forget to pass down your craft to the next generation 😉
It's exactly why we create a KZhead channel even if at first it wasn't our cup of tea to speak to a camera haha :)
I belong to a Woods & Forest Charity I’m was well impressed to here how carefully they chose the trees they wanted! The Cabin is wonderful it’s abit like treehouse the way it goes up 3 levels. Great Craftsmanship between them 😊
Thank you! it is very important to us to take good care of the land, You should see how to forest grew since we harvested those trees! It feels good in the heart ! xox
This home is beautiful and they are such a lovely couple. It sadden us to hear she has MS. Keeping them in our thoughts and prayers. Sending love light and healing ❤❤ Thank you Matt and Danielle ❤❤
Thank you for your kind words! I'm actually doing very well now and didn't have any episode in a very long time :)
What a great job they did! It’s gorgeous, and we’ll detailed.
Thank you! We put lots of love into it, and still to this day! xoxo
so amazing! almost too much to believe! such a wonderful couple!
This is so sweet! thank you! xoxoxo
Love to see making your dreams coming true
Beautiful place and land! Glad to see the realization of dreams. Sad about the MS diagnosis, but I see a lot of positivity and I wish them well.
Thank you so much:) It's accualy amazing what it's possible to achieve when staying positive !!! :)
This is literally one of the prettiest piece of earth I’ve ever seen. Can I come live on the compound to I would be happy everyday😊
Who knows, maybe it will happen some day ;) don't stop dreaming and it will happen for you!!! You will find your paradise :)
Really great. Watch out for snow weight on that green house
My 1st video of yours! Your living my dream! I'll subscribe ! So sorry to hear about your MS!! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦⛵️👣🍍😊
Very nice, looks like they build an entryway so cold air doesn't come directly inside. See so many cold off grid cabins that don't do that !
I love it when art and off-grid life is combined. I'm an artist (nowhere near her skill, but I draw for myself and aim to make a living as a sculptor), and it's so lovely to see homes, cabins, homesteads, be made beautiful, instead of just throwing some plywood and wire together because "it works".
This is wonderful and the fact that they have done all of it with their own hands make is very meaningful for them. I think that what makes it harder is the location that although, is beautiful it is also harsh with the strong winters they get.
We never knew different than cold winters, so we are use to it! It makes spring very wonderful ;) Thank you for your kind words!
I am sure Spring must amazing, I am hoping to find land like this to place my tiny home as well. All the best to you.
They are an adorable couple. Great story.
thank you!
Thank you for sharing your home with us! Big respects. Wishing you continued success and future growth. All the best. Greetings from Wien.
thank you!! all the best to you too! xox
When I saw the thumbnail for this vid, showing the lean-to , I thought "oh no, there's another 'whoops it's too small house'! (I think 99.9% of people who build their homes, and even when purchasing a prebuilt home, they realise it's too small; common problem). But after watching your little documentary, it makes sense for you, and it's shaping up well. Very admirable what you have done, and well done! And yes, that spot looks beautiful.
Thank you! We are very pleased with the size of our house even years after building it :) I think the key is really have a good idea of what is it that is non negotiable in terms of needs from a house before building a small home, then make the space adaptable so it can evolve over time !
Greetings from Redondo Beach CA 🇺🇸 a lot of hard work put into this cabin. Nice video and scenic environment. Cheers 🥂
🥰
I'm 33 in California this is my plan to be able to have a slice of paradise here in the US . Buying a home is out of the question so we're opting to buy a lot and build a small home to start out with hopefully it works out but kudos !!!!
wish you to realize that dream for sure! xox
@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503 thank you!
You both have something special, I'd love to live with nature. Great work.
Thank you so much :)
Awesome love it all the best and sorry to hear about your dad RIP 🙏🏽 🕊 ☮
Thank you! best wishes xox
You're most welcome! Thank you!
Oh, my stars, all that snow, where is this beautiful place ?
In eastern Quebec, canada!
Very nice place, thanks for your sincerity. From France, your house looks as a dream.
thank you so much!!!
❤❤❤
Fabulous people, fabulous place. IThe craftsmanship and the passion is inspiring. I also appreciated very much their openness and their honesty and how they explained that this lifestyle takes a lot of work, energy and good health and it is hard when they are not in the condition to sustain it. I think this is the biggest weakness of this type of lifestyle in our day and age: that it is an individual/couple choice. In the past the lifestyle was sustained within big families and communities, that type of mutual support is key. They are living their dream, I wish them lots of happiness
Incredible, gorgeous home & life for you two! (Important note about MS: in case you have not heard, please look into the connection between MS and Jugular Vein Thrombosis. Many people with MS find out that with an ultrasound test of their jugular veins, that they have clotting in that area. There is a procedure that can remove the clotting and many MS folk have found it improves their health and they have less MS symptoms and flare ups. Just something to investigate if you have not already.) Much love to you all!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm actually very healthy now couple months after filming this video, I found my way to be cured through whole foods :)
@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503 so happy to hear that!!
You are both so talented!!! I admire all your hard work in fulfilling your dreams. I'm sure you are making your father very proud to build the cabin/lifestyle he had hoped to do when he retired. Best wishes from sunny Arizona!
thank you so much! Best wishes to you as well! xox
Magnificent. Such a beautiful place. God bless you both and keep you healthy
Thank you so much :)
I loved this video. I went straight to their YT page and subscribed just 2 minutes into it. ❤
Welcome to the tribe! :D
@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503 I know I'm going to enjoy everything you do and watch everything evolve.
Love your video. From experience when you have smoke coming out of your chimney. You are losing heat. Which means your wood is not cured. The more mosture in the wood the less efficient heat and wood usage. Plus you have to stoke your stove more. Did you ever thought of an outdoor woodstove furnace system. We switched over to it snd it was wonderful. Great video once again. Love the art work on your fridge and wall. I had to smile my mom had the same sofa as yours. God Bless.
Thank you! 😃
Awesome!! I live in a cabin and aspire to do something VERY similar!!!
We encourage you to do it for sure!!! :)
WOW! What an incredible story and of course very inspiring! A beautiful area and space to live, both inside and out! Thank You for sharing this !!
Thank you so much! xoxox
A tribute to Dad!
Moral of his dad’s story: live your life now. Make your dreams reality now, as there’s no telling if there will be a “later”.
Amen! that is what we learned from this experience as well!
Beautiful story, and home!
thanks a lot!
I hope you are jumping into that cold stream every day!
If only! XD But that's a challenge we are willing to take on!
This place is a true artistry. The love and attention to detail really shines through. I love it.
Beautiful!
Such beautiful craftsmanship. You both are an inspiration for my small cabin dream ❤
thank you! wish you to go for that cabin life, it's such an amazing life! xox
Beautiful home and people, best of luck to you both in everything!
Thank you so much :)
I love trees ❤❤❤❤❤
So do we ;)
Amazing home!!!! And special people
Thank you! You are amazing too!
Great episode. Thanks!
🥰
Lovely story telling manner conveys grand adventures. Wow! I love what you have done to the place.
Thank you so much!
MS Treatment - Ivermectin Horse Paste kills the worms/parasites that cause M.S. Dosage #2 Pencil eraser. Twice daily, put into #3 gel capsules with a syringe. May God Bless you in your lovely home and community.
Thank you :) I'm actually on my way to be cured! xox
I love your building. I love your art, I can identify with everything you are saying and doing except your age. I am 77 years old I still work 2 part time jobs I do not particularly like but I am good at.❤❤❤
Thank you so much :)
What a wonderful location and beautiful place to live! Rémi, I really liked your craftsmanship, wish there was more footage of it in the video. Noémi your art is amazing. Did you do the mural? Tip, your video made me think of @HappenFilms latest film about Adam and Sian who build their own eco home in AUS.
If you want to see more craftsmanship, go visit our KZhead channel, it's full of it ;) Remi and Noemie the Wildcrafters :) And yes Noemie did the mural and all the art in the house!!!
I will. 😊 Very cool!
wow what a nice house, and the surroundings are just breathtaking.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! :D
Totally beautiful! Wonderful work! 👍👍
thank you so much!
What a beautiful place!❤
Thanks! We are very grateful to live here! :)
Great couple 👍
Thanks! xox
Very nicely done.
thank you so much!
Beautiful property and beautiful buildings, very inspiring, thank you for sharing! From St-Lazare, Quebec :)
Merci Beaucoup ;) Nous avons travaillé fort pour ce rendre ici :)
Woooow 10/10 love it
Great interview and tour, I want to build something rather similar to this, with a geodesic dome. I really appreciate the connected sun/solar greenhouse room to the house as well as the use of space that they have designed. They have done a really great job with the projects, very inspiring! My challenge is finding land like this in Utah. Perhaps I will have to move north! Looking forward to seeing more of their KZhead channel and how their process has been.
thank you so much!! wish you to find your own little corner of paradise ! xoxo
Simply beautiful! The Craftmanship and the Art work is Epic🎉. I'm so sorry you are ill😢. JO JO IN VT 💞
Thank you! I'm doing very well actually! I might tell that story on our KZhead channel but I'm now really happy and healthy! thank you for your kind words!
Greenbuilding.
Very Nice ! You showed a notched cabin being built, is that offsite ? I didn't notice it in aerial shots shown. Maybe that should be a future option for a more MS accessible home with a stair/chair lift for upper level access ? Then your daughter or a renter can take over the A frame eventually ? I'd like to see the hydro power systems you've been using for energy independence if you feel like adding to your busy list of tasks...
This Dovetail cabin was a project Remi did for a client! He documented it on our KZhead Channel if you are interested :) As for MS I'am actually doing very well! I will probably share about that in a futur video too :)
@@remiandnoemiethewildcrafte7503 I'll go and look for it, Thanks !
Beautiful 💞
This is so beautiful
thank you!!
