Backyard cottages are a type of accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that can be built in your backyard. They are a cozy small house that can be used as an affordable alternative to urban and suburban housing, or to provide accommodation for visiting family members or guests. They may also be rented out on a short-term basis to generate additional income. This detached single-family home is legally permitted and built to current building codes.
If you’re looking to optimize the use of your land or want to build some cottage or a guest house, we’ve got plethora of design schemes and styles from contemporary to sleek and minimal.
One benefit of building a backyard cottage is that it provides more privacy than traditional rental units because they are located outside the main house. This means your guests won’t feel like they’re staying with strangers and will be able to come and go more freely without being noticed.
