Little Cottage Co.: Playhouses and Backyard Buildings Built to Last

Not every backyard upgrade is furniture — sometimes it's a whole structure. Little Cottage Co. is the brand we turn to for that, and it covers a lot more ground than the name might suggest. Here's a closer look at what they build.

Real Buildings, Not Toys

Little Cottage Co. playhouses are built from actual wood construction — panelized kits with real framing, siding, and roofing — not molded plastic. That means they're built to last for years outside, weather included, and they hold up to the kind of daily use a backyard structure actually gets: kids climbing in and out, doors slamming, years of sun and rain.

Playhouses With Real Personality

The playhouse lineup goes well beyond a basic box with a door. Kits range from classic cottage styles to themed builds like a schoolhouse, a firehouse, and even a Victorian mansion — several with add-ons like slides, working windows, and covered porches. They're designed to be a genuine destination in the yard, not just a place to store bikes.

Sheds and Barns for Real Storage

On the practical side, Little Cottage Co.'s sheds and barns collection covers everything from compact garden sheds to larger barn-style structures with real storage capacity. Like the playhouses, these come as panelized kits — pre-built wall sections that go together faster than building from raw lumber, without sacrificing the durability of true wood construction.

Specialty Buildings for Everything Else

Beyond playhouses and storage sheds, the specialty buildings line covers more specific needs — chicken coops, garden structures, and other purpose-built kits for homeowners with a particular project in mind. If you've got a backyard need that doesn't fit "shed" or "playhouse" neatly, it's worth a look here first.

Panelized Kits Mean Easier Building

One thing that sets Little Cottage Co. apart is the panelized kit format — major wall and roof sections arrive mostly assembled, so building on-site is closer to putting together large panels than framing a structure from scratch. It's a meaningfully faster and more approachable project than a fully from-scratch build, while still using genuine lumber construction.

Why We Carry It

We carry Little Cottage Co. because it fills a gap none of our furniture lines can — real backyard structures, built to the same standard of durability we look for everywhere else in the catalog. Whether it's a playhouse the kids will use for years or a shed that finally gets the lawn equipment out of the garage, it's built to actually last outside.
