You may have come across the term DADU recently. It stands for Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit—essentially, a small, standalone home that shares the same property as your main house (or the one you plan to build in the future). Think of it as a flexible extension of your living space: a guest retreat, a private office, or a comfortable spot to enjoy weekends away before your full mountain retreat is ready.

Your home is more than walls and windows—it's a backdrop for the way you recharge, work, adventure, and connect. That's why every space Trailside Homes designs starts with flexibility in mind, giving you the freedom to shape your home into something that fits your lifestyle today—and evolves with you tomorrow. Discover the transformations that turn blank rooms into everyday retreats.

Every custom home has a story. For the Barker Family, the process was so smooth, personal, and enjoyable the first time, they were excited to do it a second time.Don’t just take our word for it—hear their story and discover why building with Trailside Homes is an experience worth repeating.
