Nothing else in the Little Cottage Co. catalog looks quite like the Little Cottage Chapel — its steepled roofline sets it apart from the cottages and barns around it. This 8' x 8' panelized kit is built for quiet time and imaginative play, whether that means kids using it as a hideaway or families gathering informally around it, with enough headroom inside for adults to join comfortably.
Highlights
- Distinctive steeple, adding roughly 4'8" above the roofline
- Six working sliding windows with tempered safety glass and screens
- Child-size Dutch door (20"x40") at the front and an adult-size Dutch door (34"x61.5") at the rear
- 2x3 wood wall studs and 2x4 wood trusses
- LP SmartSide siding and trim, pre-primed and ready for paint
- Floor kit included: 5/8" plywood over treated sub-floor framing

Like the rest of the panelized line, the Chapel's wall sections arrive pre-assembled with siding and trim already fastened, so the on-site work is standing panels, securing them, and building up the steeple and roof rather than cutting lumber to size. Two adults working from the included manual can typically finish a kit this size within a day. Shingles, drip-edge, and exterior paint are supplied by the customer. Built in the USA with Amish craftsmanship, it's a compact way to get a distinctive Little Cottage Co. structure without the footprint of the larger mansion-style kits, and is also offered in 8x10 and 8x12 sizes.
