Nook
This tiny cabin was inspired by Victorian architecture. It can be used as a small summer cabin, or upgraded into a four-season structure for year-round use. The porch creates a small seating area for relaxation and the enjoyment of nature.
Victorian in style, this elegant design allows ample room for a meditation room, nature observation area, yoga studio, study or home away from home. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the rustic appeal of the cottage, while affording you a four-season sanctuary. Consider the addition of a heat source to create an oasis of warmth in the dead of winter. Add a railing and half newell posts to the porch or local artisan hand-crafted glass roundels, flower boxes and weathervanes to give it even more charm. Whether you use it as a home office, additional guest house space, children’s playhouse, or home away from home, the sweet cottage appearance will enhance the surroundings wherever you put it.
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 having a Victorian-style 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 cabin 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.
