This Amazon Garden House Is a Perfect Backyard Retreat

Are you a fan of cottagecore? Have you been craving a little extra space but lack the footprint and budget to expand your home? If you said yes to both, we’ve got the perfect find. The Allwood Mayflower Garden House is an ideal size for a home office or bonus room, and believe it or not you can buy it right now on Amazon for slightly under $11,000.

DIY garden house kits are a great way to increase the square footage of your home without paying the hefty price tag that comes with home additions—and if you decorate wisely, you can pack a surprising amount into a small space. Amazon has a number of tiny home kits, but the Mayflower model stands out with a unique prairie charm that would fit right in with a garden as a backdrop.

Allwood Mayflower Garden House

A lot of tiny homes try to wow you with modern architectural designs or bells and whistles, but this garden house caught our eye with its humble country charm. The one-room structure has a welcoming vibe that reminds us of grandma’s kitchen on a warm, sunny day.

The garden house is made of solid wood and measures nearly 8 feet wide by 16 feet long when fully assembled, for a total of 117 square feet—and the wood is unfinished, so you can paint it in the color of your choice. A short flight of stairs leads up to a double-door entry, and the house is raised on decorative wheels for a quaint “covered wagon” look. We love the charming window box planters on either side of the front door, where you can grow your favorite annuals.

Inside, you’ll find solid wood walls that really lean into the cottagecore style, and the space is flooded with light thanks to all the windows. This includes floor-to-ceiling windows that flank the doors, plus a picture window that you can place on either end of the cabin. The space easily fits a kitchenette and a small dining table or a desk and comfy chair, making this perfect for a home office, art studio, or just a quiet refuge. Note that there is no bathroom.

If the wagon look isn’t your thing, you can shop different styles from the same brand. Check out some other options below.
