Description

This most popular cabin is also one of our largest designs and is constructed with a mortise and tenon timber frame. The open concept floor-plan provides plenty of opportunity for creativity. A full loft with a four foot knee wall nearly doubles the interior square footage. The dormer add-ons are great ways to add more windows and head-space in the loft. Purchase an eight foot wide overhang, or two, for porch and exterior storage use, or enclose them for additional interior space. The Vermont Cabin is designed to be installed on a concrete slab. A floor system may be purchased if installing on a full basement or piers. It is recommended to purchase additional beams if installing on a pier system or basement beam and posts if building on a full foundation basement.

Floor, wall and roof insulation with interior wall and ceiling sheathing, insulated double pane windows and an insulated door turn this cottage into a four-season shell. Install a wood-stove, composting toilet and solar package for off-grid living or install modern electrical, plumbing and heating options. Other possible upgrades include pressure treated flooring, shingle roofing (cedar or asphalt), alternative siding choices, flower boxes and weathervanes.

When dreaming about the small cottage lifestyle, you may imagine tranquil surroundings that bring back memories of a simpler way of life. Cottages are adorable structures that simply emanate warmth and comfort. They make charming guesthouses or backyard retreats. When the primary purpose of your small cottage is a vacation home, the intimate space is ideal for couples looking for peaceful weekend getaways or families seeking quality time and bonding. At Jamaica Cottage Shop, we think that a having a cabin in the backyard can be just as rewarding as having one in the backcountry. Home office or bunk house for guests? Maybe both? Turn your four-seasoned retreat into a combined guest house and workspace for hobbies such as pottery or jewelry making.

Offered as frame only kits, 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 visiting guests, a corner garden office or a country retreat.
