Description

This cozy off-the-grid house kit is the perfect solution for your isolated New England property. An enchanting three-room cottage, complete with a bathroom is a wonderful place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The kitchen is equipped with a gray water sink and built in counter and cabinet space. The 12” wood stove and the wall mounted propane heater allows this cabin to remain a place of comfort even in the cold New England winters. The building also comes equipped with a solar panel camping package which allows this cottage to be completely off-grid.

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, and although they’re small, they offer all the conveniences of a full-size house. They make a wonderful primary home but can also 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-season retreat into a combined guest house and workspace for hobbies such as pottery or jewelry making.

At Jamaica Cottage Shop, we use rugged post and beam techniques that have been passed down through the centuries to construct sturdy and picturesque shelters, reminiscent of old New England. All our outdoor storage sheds, woodsheds, garden sheds, storage shed kits, cottages and utility enclosures are built of the finest Vermont lumber and handcrafted for long life and durability. New England weather can really put a wooden garden shed or cottage to the test, and Jamaica Cottage Shop’s products have proven to stand the test of time.

We have a full line of custom Prefab Cabins at the Jamaica Cottage Shop that are offered fully assembled and shipped within the Northeast USA.  We have the expertise and equipment to deliver and place your prefab cabin project in just right the spot. Our pre-built cabins are largely customizable, and we are happy to work with you to meet your design needs. Choose the design you like, then view the options available to customize the cabin just the way you want it. Many of our tiny houses for sale have ground floor bedrooms with sleeping platforms including Murphy beds and other forms of fold away furniture. Explore the Inventory page to see what’s available to ship immediately.
