The Sylvan Cottage is designed for those who appreciate the quiet moments as much as the memorable ones. Warm timber framing, welcoming gathering spaces, and expansive windows create a home that feels closely connected to its surroundings, encouraging a slower, more intentional pace of living.
Whether nestled among towering trees, overlooking a peaceful meadow, or tucked beside a quiet lake, the Sylvan Cottage offers a retreat that feels both timeless and complete. Every space is carefully considered, creating a home where comfort comes not from excess, but from thoughtful design and an enduring relationship with nature.
Make the Sylvan Cottage Your Own
Every Woodhouse floor plan is designed to inspire—not to limit what's possible. Whether you'd like to expand the covered porch, introduce additional windows to strengthen the connection to the landscape, create a dedicated reading nook or home office, or adapt the design for your favorite wooded, lakeside, or mountain homesite, our in-house design team can adapt the Sylvan Cottage to fit your vision.
From subtle refinements to fully custom modifications, we'll work with you to create a timber frame home that reflects the way you want to live while preserving the craftsmanship, character, and timeless appeal that define every Woodhouse design.
