Description

This charming one-room cabin features an open floor plan, porch and high ceilings with a loft. This cottage is brimming with possibilities. Turn it into a camp, playhouse, pool house, guest house, workshop, cabana, art studio, or lake house.  Numerous windows fill this cottage with natural light creating an inviting space.

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 possible 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.
