The Threshold Cabin

A Quiet Home for a New Beginning

Nestled among the hardwoods of East Hollow, The Threshold Cabin is becoming the first completed home in Oak Hollow’s long-term, off-grid living community near Boaz, Alabama.

It was created for one purpose:
to offer a peaceful, safe, beautifully simple place to live for someone ready for a slower, quieter life.

This is not a campground.
This is not a tiny house showcase.
This is a real home — thoughtfully designed for year-round comfort and intentional living.

The Threshold Cabin follows East Hollow’s standard Threshold Cabin model, setting the baseline for how life is lived here.


🌲 A Space That Feels Like a Breath of Fresh Air

The Threshold Cabin is cozy, warm, and crafted by hand. Inside, everything is intentionally simple — nothing extra, nothing missing.

Inside the cabin you’ll find:

  • 12×16 footprint — small enough to feel grounded, large enough to feel like home
  • Natural 1×6 pine walls and ceiling, warm and timeless
  • Wood-burning stove, quiet and comforting
  • Twin-bed nook with open floor plan
  • Gravity-fed kitchenette for minimalist living

Just outside the cabin is a dedicated Hearth area, which includes:

  • A 4×6 outdoor composting toilet
  • Integrated firewood storage

Together with the cabin, the Hearth keeps daily life connected to the outdoors while preserving simplicity inside.

Every inch of the Threshold is designed for ease, comfort, and authenticity.


🛠️ A Note About the Cabin’s Current Stage

The Threshold Cabin is in its final stage of completion.

Interior pine walls and ceiling, along with the Hearth structure, are being finished this winter. Much of the cabin is already taking shape, and walk-throughs are welcome during this phase.

Many future residents enjoy seeing the cabin in progress — it helps them imagine their life here as the space quietly comes together.
