Little Cottage Co. 8x8 Gingerbread Cottage Wood Playhouse Kit with Loft, Deck & Rail - (8x8 GBP-PNK-DR-LFT)

Little Cottage Co. 8x8 Gingerbread Cottage Wood Playhouse Kit with Loft, Deck & Rail - (8x8 GBP-PNK-DR-LFT)

The Gingerbread Cottage Playhouse brings a fun, detailed look to any backyard. It features decorative gingerbread trim and a heart-shaped window that adds a playful touch. The curved roof and chimney complete the unique design. Built for years of outdoor use, and easy to paint any color to match your style. Beyond its storybook exterior, this 8x8 playhouse is designed with real play value in mind. The included loft gives kids a cozy hideaway perfect for pretend adventures, reading nooks, or secret clubhouse meetings, while the covered front deck creates a welcoming entry space for tea parties, lemonade stands, or simply relaxing in the shade. The decorative rail ties the whole structure together, giving it the polished look of a miniature storybook home rather than a standard backyard shed. Crafted from quality wood construction, this playhouse kit is built to handle the bumps, giggles, and imaginative play that come with active kids and busy backyards. The straightforward kit format makes assembly manageable for most DIY skill levels, and because the wood accepts paint beautifully, families can personalize the cottage into a one-of-a-kind fixture that offers a dedicated outdoor space for making memories season after season.

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.

With pre-cut, pre-primed, and ready-to-assemble components, putting together a backyard playhouse is simple and enjoyable while creating a lasting space where children can make unforgettable memories.

• Each panelized playhouse kit includes an instruction manual and detailed layout plans specific to your model. Assembly typically requires two adults and takes approximately 4–8 hours, depending on the playhouse size and the builder’s experience level.

With 64 square feet of interior space, the Gingerbread Cottage offers plenty of room to play, explore, and make believe. The open layout makes it easy to fit in kid-sized furniture, toys, and friends for shared adventures.

Little ones can climb up to their own private hideaway in the included loft. It's the perfect spot for pretend adventures, quiet reading, or secret clubhouse meetings.
