Gibraltar (living)
Hardly anyone can resist the charm of our Gibraltar cabin. The porch meanders along the bearing wall and is adorned with a decorative barrel arch above the door entrance way and abundant barn sash windows. This design is offered with a 6’ or 8’ high walls.
The Gibraltar is a clever little design with huge potential. With its undeniable pastoral appeal, it comes standard with an eye-catching barrel arch, a front porch, and plenty of windows. With the right touch it would make a perfect getaway, workshop, studio, retreat, pool house, or farm stand. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the natural tones of the cottage, while affording you a four-season hideaway. Consider the addition of a heat source to create a toasty sanctuary for that much needed escape. Want to add just the right one-of-a-kind touches? Consider ordering skinned hemlock posts for the porch, clapboard siding, local artisan hand-blown glass roundel, or additional windows.
When dreaming about the small cottage lifestyle, you may imagine tranquil surroundings that bring back memories of a simpler way of life. Gibraltar 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. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a fully assembled turn-key design delivered to your prepared site.
