When life becomes too hectic for an actual getaway, sometimes it's nice to know that your next vacation can be as close as your own backyard.

These dreamy guest cottages look like the perfect place to escape,

miles away from ordinary, even when you haven't gone any place at all.

recharging with your fingers in the dirt,

Or even a night away from the answering machine (and laundry!),

If you have to cross an enchanted bridge to get there,

tiptoe along a cobblestone path to a storybook door,

or spend a night with only candlelight to reconnect with someone you love, so much the better.

We hope you are all enjoying your summer and taking the time to get away, even if it's in your own backyard!

Ok, this post is seriously perfect! I would love to have a beautiful and quaint guest house. There are times when I threaten to build a home that small.
Have a wonderful Monday, ladies.

This is the most adorable post. Thanks for sharing.
Completely lovely! I'm all for a leisurely summer escape---and what could be better to have to go no farther than out the back door and across the lawn!
Wow...just dreamy!! Sometimes when life gets crazy I literally lay down and pretend I'm relaxing in a far away cottage or tree house (:
SO charming!! We have friends who have the most adorable pool/guest house and they say sometimes they stay there just for a little break!!
Here at The Doll House, there's nothing I'd like better than - well - a doll's house in the garden. I'd happily take any one of these.

This could not have come at a better time, when my day has been hectic with a capital H, taking a short "coffee break' from the madness and so funny because my husband and talk about building a very small log cabin (very small) in the back of the property as total getaway/refuge from the rest of the crazy world. This post epitomizes what I am after and dream about. I am so bookmarking this so I can come back and get inspiration (and show it to my husband) Absolutley delightful..especially love that second one, LOVE it!
Owning a cottage doesn't seem that far out of reach when it's pint size. They are adorable.
That Traditional Home image is stunning. Love it!
Aww they just look right out of a fairy tale! Lovely post!
Love these charming pint size cottages. So lovely, a perfect little getaway without the stress of traveling!

I just love these! It'd be wonderful to have one as a little place to escape to on a warm summer evening!
Love the idea of a little guest cottage get away. I have always wanted one...b/c of the restrictions where we live, it won't be at this house. But, I will keep dreaming.
Just darling...each and every one!

it will be on your conscience btw.

Oh now these are making me want to have more space in my yard...that SECOND ONE IS MY FAVORITE! Thank you dearest for your visit; it makes me happy to receive comments that encourage and shape the reason why I write. I went to a writers' guild last night for an informal sharing session and I felt so intimidated and actually confused about my abilities! Your little getaways here are calling me think through my writing goals with a sweet cup of tea and a relaxing afternoon! Oh how I crave that!!! Have a lovely day, Anita
This is exactly what I had in mind when I asked my hubby if I could have a room of my own... So pretty and inspired!
xxoo

We love these little hide-a-ways. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to have one of these when we were little girls. Adore the second and sixth image. Would love to have these in our backyard.
Wow! That's such a fantastic idea! I always dreamed with a little room/cottage in my backyard. I have this "dream" since I was a kid... I think it would my favorite place to hide... still! :-)
Have a great day!

I love this post! I've been obsessing over a little cottage in my backyard just like these...someplace for me to get creative and relax and a place for my little girl to play.
Thanks for sharing.

Love the images, too.

Thank you :)

A guest cottage sounds divine! If only i had one! Nonetheless, i'll be enjoying my backyard more now that i am on break! Really wonderful images too. XX
I want a guest cottage - love it!
I am just dying to get that perfect grass, much less the cottage! SO CUTE and really the perfect way to sit and say "Hello summer!" :) XO, Kelly
As a kid, I always wanted a playhouse in the backyard where I could get away from it all…my parents put in a pool instead.
Now I can put in my own!
Thanks for the inspiration,
Amy
These are too sweet! I'd love one in my backyard too! Enjoy the gorgeous day, Kellie xx
Owning a guest cottage would be an absolute dream. One can wish...
love love love these!! You are never too old to want a playhouse apparently. Think I need to add these to some of my Pinterest inspiration boards.
Fantastic post!
Goodness gracious, these are all so charming. Someday I will have one! The ivy and rose covered cottage is perfection!
Oh my goodness..perfect way to end my week! Just love this so much, thank you ladies :)
What is it about a little stone cottage ( actually a stone anything) that makes my heart soar. Thanks ladies for the perfect weekend post.
