Do an internet search on cute cottages<\/em> and multiple websites and images of wonderful smaller cottages will pop up. Although cottages have been around for quite some time, the tiny house movement helped increase their popularity. Interest in tiny houses began in the mid-1970s but became prevalent in the 2000s due to their lower expenses and because the rise of remote job opportunities made it possible for homeowners to live wherever they pleased. This allowed young couples to work and travel on a small budget, bringing their home with them as they went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cute cottage is a sister to the tiny house. While tiny houses tend to be boxier with clean, modern lines, cute cottages inspire whimsy with their charming designs. Unlike tiny homes, though, these cottages are more likely to be built on land than on trailers. You can\u2019t get the feel of an English garden cottage with ivy covering its walls without a permanent location, after all! Today, a cottage can be large or small and designed for beach, lake, mountain, or even neighborhood locations. As such, different cottage styles have evolved over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something more suited to a beach or lake build, take a look at DFD-1143.<\/a> It\u2019s made for a sloped lot and has plenty of windows and a deck for taking in views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its larger size, DFD-2235<\/a> is still considered a cottage.

Remember that every house plan can be modified to meet your specific needs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
