Vermont Cottage B (living)
Rugged post and beam techniques passed down for centuries are the foundation of this sturdy, picturesque retreat reminiscent of old New England. Handmade from native Rough Sawn Vermont Hemlock and Pine, this kit comes with everything you need to have your own Cabin in the woods.
The Vermont Cottage Option B is our most roomy of the Vermont Cottage series. Without a porch the interior utilizes the full interior 16x20, 16x24 or 16x30 footprint with an 8x16 sleeping or storage loft with ladder. The simple 4x4 post and beam hemlock wall frame makes this design a great option for anyone who is interested in learning basic post and beam framing techniques. The abundance of windows create an inviting light-filled abode.
Floor, wall and roof insulation, insulated double pane windows and an insulated door turn this cottage into a four-season shell. Install a woodstove, composting toilet and solar package for off-grid living or install modern electrical, plumbing and heating options. Other popular upgrades include pressure treated flooring, shingle roofing (cedar or asphalt), alternative siding choices, flower boxes and weathervanes.
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.
