Writers Haven
This inspirational writer’s cottage hideaway, complete with built in daybed and desk, will prove to be your artistic sanctuary. The translucent roof panel and plethora of windows allows the natural light to flood the room making it ideal for reading, writing, painting or just relaxing. This versatile small wood cabin could be the perfect backyard getaway or storage shed.
Imagine having your own private Writer’s Haven: a place to be alone with your thoughts. Just as Henry David Thoreau had his cabin on Walden Pond, you can have a sanctuary all your own. With the translucent roofing and abundance of windows, the natural light fills the room making it ideal for spending long days writing, reading, painting, or relaxing. Complete with a daybed, this little hide-away is a great place to take a summer siesta. The built-in desk provides an ideal workspace regardless of your artistic pleasure and the cottage itself emanates inspiration. This whimsical writing shed could double as a storage space for any yard equipment, kids toys, or any of your other outdoor storage needs.
Offered as a frame only kit, complete pre-cut kit, 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. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a design fully assembled and delivered to your prepared site. 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, painting, pottery or jewelry making. Even a cozy cottage has plenty of room for a reading space alongside essential garden tools, buckets, and other accessories. 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 wood sheds, storage sheds, garden 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 wood garden shed or cottage to the test, and Jamaica Cottage Shop’s products have proven to stand the test of time and strength.
