Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Gingerbread Cottage Wood Playhouse Kit with Floor & Loft - (8x10 GBP-PNK-FK-LFT)

Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Gingerbread Cottage Wood Playhouse Kit with Floor & Loft - (8x10 GBP-PNK-FK-LFT)

The 8x12 Gingerbread Cottage Playhouse brings a fun, detailed look to any backyard, transforming an ordinary yard into a whimsical retreat kids won't want to leave. Decorative gingerbread trim wraps the exterior with a playful, candy-shop charm, while a heart-shaped window adds a sweet, storybook touch that sets this cottage apart from typical playhouse designs. Together, these details create a structure that feels less like a backyard add-on and more like a small piece of fairy-tale architecture. Design-wise, the curved roofline and chimney complete the cottage's unique silhouette, giving it a rounded, storybook profile instead of the boxy look of standard playhouses. Inside, a solid raised floor keeps kids elevated and dry, while the added loft doubles the usable play space perfect for climbing, pretend cooking, cozy reading nooks, or a lookout perch during backyard adventures. Every element is scaled to spark imaginative, open-ended play for young builders and dreamers alike. Built for years of outdoor use, this playhouse is constructed from solid wood designed to stand up to real kids and real weather season after season. It also comes unfinished and easy to paint any color, so families can customize the cottage to match their home's exterior, a child's favorite palette, or simply their own creative vision making each playhouse as one-of-a-kind as the child who plays in it.

Note: Shingles, paint, and drip edge are not included and must be purchased separately. To avoid delays, we recommend checking with your county or HOA for any necessary permits or restrictions.
