Missouri resident Michael Loftis adopted an"off-the-grid" lifestyle with his family four years ago when they hit the open road in an RV to explore the country. Even with four children under the age of seven, Loftis found the experience exhilarating.
Now, the cabin serves as a getaway for travelers seeking a quiet escape from their daily lives and brings in around $4,000 during the warmer months of March through October, Insider verified through records provided by Loftis. Initially, he thought the project might take them three months, but it ultimately took them six months to complete it.Loftis purposefully chose a location near small spring because he enjoyed the sound of water.In total, Loftis said the project cost $50,000, including two-by-fours, floor joists, windows, roofing, insulation, hardware, wiring, and plumbing.
He then bought a hydropower system for $8,000, but it ended up being too complicated for his needs. They spent an additional $3,000 on repairs to the system to keep it operating. "It just takes a lot more time to work with the old material, but it looks better than the new material," Loftis said. The property currently sleeps up to 6 guests and rents for $121 per night. Loftis says there's a drop-off in the winter months as fewer people want to brave the cold.
Loftis furnished the property with “rustic” accents from nearby antique stores and even bought a vintage gas cookstove from Facebook Marketplace.
