Pond House (living)
This versatile cottage has been used as a she shed, potting station, child’s playhouse, tiny house and off-grid cabin for hunting or glamping. Other uses include vacation rental, meditation room, guest house, and yoga studio. Many options for personalization are ready in the shopping cart.
While originally designed as a Pond House, this beautiful cottage has an endless array of uses. Whether it is a potting shed for your garden, a child’s playhouse, a space to watch the sunset or just a place to sit by the pond, this building is an asset to any landscape. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the natural ambiance of this adorable bungalow, while affording you a four-season sanctuary. Consider the addition of a heat source to create a shanty to escape to all year long. It compliments any property as a combination guest house, meditation room, nature observation area, yoga studio, and sometimes, a study.
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. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a fully assembled turn-key design delivered to your prepared site.
