Dan and Jessica Yudchitz share a love for sustainable and minimal living. Dan is a design director for an architectural firm in Minneapolis. Jessica is a clinical social worker and adjunct professor. They enjoy spending time with their kids, taking rides in their VW Vanagon, reading, and volunteering.

Dan’s family fell in love with the Bayfield area and decided it was the perfect place to built the EDGE and Nest. After finishing construction in 2009, the family has vacationed there frequently. Dan and Jessica were married in Bayfield and turned the EDGE into a vacation rental home. They are thrilled to share the Bayfield experience with those seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both!

Follow them on their blog as they reflect on their experiences living small - a lifestyle passion that continues to evolve in unexpected ways!

They also rent their house in St. Paul (pictured below) that Dan designed and built with his father, “The Essential House.” It is currently rented through May, 2025. For inquiries please email tempuswilde@gmail.com
