Welcome & thank you for visiting Tuckaway Cottages!  We’re happy to show you our collection of small cottage plans. We designed these cottages to fit snuggly into your backyard. 

They have a modest footprint and contain ample, but not excessive living space. They can be a comfortable home for 1 or 2 people.

They are known as a backyard cottage, a granny cottage, an in-law cottage, an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), etc. They can be used as a home for a family member or as a rental unit for a little extra income. They could also be used as a small second home at your favorite vacation spot.

Most are between 400 and 800 sq. ft. but we will have some even smaller. We're also working on larger models with a second bedroom or hobby/study room.

Our small cottage designs include a covered porch at the entry which leads into a living area which typically has a cathedral ceiling. There is a kitchen, open to the living area, that is fully functional even though sometimes small.

Each house has a complete bathroom with a full-size tub or shower.

Each design has a separate bedroom with a decent size closet(s). There typically is another closet for coats or storage. On most plans we have included a utility closet; some with access from the exterior. We also suggest a location for a combination washer/dryer. If this is not needed, that space can be easily converted for another use. We have tried to include most of what you would need in a small house plan.

Look through our Featured Plans collection and see if there is a design that fits your needs.
