The Home Office might be our most popular cottage design for vacation rentals, campground cabins, home offices, and backyard in-law suites. The open floor plan provides lots of room for customization. The porch is a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy a sunrise or sunset.
Description
The Home Office is a simple, classic outbuilding. This design is one of our most economically friendly designs and has tons of potential. The open floor plan and fantastic front porch make this design a great playhouse, pool house, guest house, workshop, cabana, artist studio, personal retreat, or office. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the rustic allure of the cottage, while affording you a four-season home away from home. Consider the addition of a heat source and use your space throughout the cold winter months. Originally design as the sales office for Jamaica cottage Shop, this design is also the base for the ever-popular Apple Blossom Cottage which is solidly booked night after night through Airbnb.
When you daydream about the small cottage lifestyle, you may imagine woodsy 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.
The design can be purchased in different stages; 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 quiet country retreat. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a fully assembled turn-key design delivered to your prepared site.
