Wind River Built

What Wind River Built does

Wind River Built (previously operating as Wind River Tiny Homes) is a Chattanooga-headquartered, Cleveland-TN-based off-site modular construction company founded by Travis Pyke, manufacturing park-model tiny homes, modular homes on permanent foundations, accessory dwelling units, and hospitality units from a 100,000-square-foot climate-controlled facility. The company operates three core product lines — eight signature park-model tiny homes ranging from $64,000 to $179,000, six residential modular homes from $179,000 to $375,000, and a hospitality-focused modular catalog (Ronan, Nova, Rogue, Rogue Mini and Wind River Sauna) starting at $49,000 — delivered through Signature, Tailored and Bespoke build pathways. Underlying technology centers on factory-based construction using closed-cell spray foam insulation, ZIP System sheathing, Marvin composite windows, Tuff Rib metal roofing, custom chassis/trailer manufacturing, and Park Model RV certification by Pacific West Associates, enabling ANSI/NFPA-compliant units that qualify for RV financing and lighter zoning treatment.

Wind River sells direct through a consultative sales motion targeting three primary segments: hospitality operators and developers (boutique hotels, glamping, wellness retreats, multi-unit nightly-rental communities), residential developers (cottage communities, ADU developments, workforce and student housing, with projects typically in the $1M–$10M+ range), and individual home buyers purchasing tiny or modular homes for personal use or rental investment. Pricing is structured as one-time sales with financing facilitated through a preferred-lender partnership with 21st Mortgage Corporation for park-model RV loans and via Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac-eligible conventional mortgages for modular homes. Delivery is supported by a third-party logistics network covering 30 US states. The company is founder-owned and privately held with approximately 105 employees and reported no external institutional funding in the source data.
