Keli and Ryan Brinks and their two teenagers are like most American families, except at night, the Brinks retreat to their home, while their children each take to their separate houses on the same property.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the London, Kentucky family joined the \u201ctiny homes\u201d movement, the cost-effective and environmentally-friendly lifestyle trend of downsizing for simplicity. They paid an estimated $60,000 for a 21-acre remote piece of land and built a $50,00 tiny village comprised of six cabins which serve as separate living spaces for the couple, their son Brodey, 16, and daughter Lennox, 18, a student at the University of Kentucky, who lives at home part-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to carry a mortgage, so we moved to Kentucky from Michigan where it was cheaper,\u201d Kelly, 46, a family preservation specialist, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. \u201cMy husband wanted us all to live under the same roof but I didn\u2019t want my kids to go through their teenage years feeling like they didn\u2019t have privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parents reside in a $9,000 cabin that\u2019s 280 square feet and contains a kitchenette with a sink and a small countertop, and a bathroom with a tub. They also have a small sitting area.<\/p>\n
