Description

This charming one-room cabin features an open floor plan and high ceilings with a loft. This cottage is brimming with possibilities. Turn it into a storage space, camp, playhouse, pool house, guest house, workshop, cabana, art studio, cabin, or even 4-Season living. The Vermont Cottage Series consists of 3 different basic building layouts and 3 different sizes. Option A includes a four-foot porch along the entire length of the bearing wall. Option B is entirely enclosed offering extra interior space. Option C has a four-foot porch along the shorter gable end. All three options include the interior loft.

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 convenient and orderly storage or a corner garden office. Keep your lawn furniture, kids’ toys, and bicycles within easy reach in summer, yet safely tucked away during the winter. Maintain a stockpile of household supplies or a stash of non-perishable foods to cut down on shopping trips or create the perfectly quiet nook to read while enjoying a breeze through the windows.

Storage Shed, Playhouse, or Craft Studio? You decide. A large shed can also serve dual purposes, becoming a combined storage shed and workspace for hobbies such as woodworking, pottery or jewelry making. Even a cozy cottage has plenty of room for a reading space alongside essential garden tools, buckets, and other accessories. This versatile building has been used in many ways from general storage to a playhouse. Rugged post and beam techniques, passed down through the centuries, are used to construct this sturdy picturesque shelter, reminiscent of old New England. All of our woodsheds, storage sheds, 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 woodshed, garden shed or cottage to the test, and Jamaica Cottage Shop’s products have proven to stand the test of time and strength.
