Description

This design is now on display at our Vermont Factory, take the tour, see how they are made and walk into a huge display yard including a 20×30 Vermont Cabin. The Vermont Cabin is elegant, versatile, and built with beefy 8×8 mortise and tenon joinery. This winning combo of looks, functionality, and durability has made this our most popular design by a long shot. This design features an open floor plan and comes standard with 4 windows. There are several options for window placement, add additional windows to maximize the natural light in this great space. Customizing your space is easy with the Vermont Cabin. Upgrade from a ladder to a staircase to reach your full size loft. The full size loft practically doubles the square footage of floor space, maximizing your space and storage potential.

This charming one-room cabin features an open floor plan and high ceilings with a loft. This cottage is brimming with possibilities. Turn it into a large storage space, camp, playhouse, pool house, guest house, workshop, cabana, art studio, cabin, or even 4-Season living.

Offered as a frame only kit, complete pre-cut kits, 3- and 4-Season kits, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and tiny house solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage or a corner garden office. Keep your lawn furniture, kids’ toys, and bicycles within easy reach in summer, yet safely tucked away during the winter. Maintain a stockpile of household supplies or a stash of non-perishable foods to cut down on shopping trips or create the perfectly quiet nook to read while enjoying a breeze through the windows.

Storage space, Playhouse, or Craft Studio? You decide. A large storage space can also serve dual purposes, becoming a combined storage shed and workspace for hobbies such as woodworking, pottery or jewelry making. Even a cozy cottage has plenty of room for a reading space alongside essential garden tools, buckets, and other accessories. Use the full size loft as a storage space while the first floor is a comfortable guest house, camp, or space for your hobbies! The possibilities are endless with this versatile and beautiful design.
