Abigail's Getaway Playhouse Plan

For younger children, Abigail's Getaway is a luxurious, DIY play home that offers a plush mansion semblance in a compact and amiable package. A conceptually smaller version of our Victorian Mansion playhouse, this design has a total of 114ft² over the main level and a small loft, providing plenty of room to play and store toys.

Designed for 30 total glass shed windows allows an enormous amount of natural light to illuminate all parts of the playhouse. Oversized 6.5' walls also allow enough head room for adults and loft use. A wonderful Victorian themed aesthetic and front step pergola adorn the front view, allowing this mini-mansion play home to fit nicely in with any property.

Don't forget to also look at our similar Damsel playhouse plan, and our delightful indoor Home-Sweet-Home design. Download this plan and start your new family project tomorrow!
