Description

This multiroom bungalow is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also an extremely versatile space. The center partition, complete with internal door, creates two separate spaces that can be used for whatever your heart desires.  The cottage would make a great guest house, affording separate entrances for each of the rooms. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the natural look and feel of the cottage, while affording you a four-season refuge. Consider the addition of a heat source to keep toasty all year long.

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. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a fully assembled turn-key design delivered to your prepared site.
