John M. – United Kingdom
“Perfect for my off-grid weekend getaway.”
I purchased one of these prefab homes for my countryside property. The delivery was smooth, and assembly took just one day with a local handyman. The insulation is excellent, even during the cold British winter. Not made from shipping containers, which I actually prefer — feels more like a proper house. Highly recommend!

“Smart investment for my Airbnb business.”
I set up two units as guest houses on my rural land. Guests love the modern interiors and panoramic windows. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I wish I had opted for the solar package from the beginning. Will buy more in the future!
