This amazing small Wisconsin cottage featured in Chicago Home + Garden is steeped in history and sincere care about restoration. The one-bedroom tourist cabin from the 1920s has been brought back to life by Tereasa Surratt, who purchased (for $500!) and revived the 11-by-11-foot space after moving it to a plot of land in Sugar Creek, Wisconsin.
With upgrades including a new roof and new electricity, this cabin will serve Surratt and her husband well, as an idyllic, simple, humble getaway. There's nothing we don't love.



The is just too cute. I would love a tiny getaway like this -- but not if it was too cold to go outside. My husband and I couldn't make it in that tiny space unless we could get away from each other. Still, it's absolutely adorable.

Go Wisconsin! What a cute little space. Makes me want to use the tax credit we'll be getting to go buy a little piece of property up north.

What a perfect little place. And kudos to them for doing the work themselves.

Hiya, Leslie. Ditch the husband and get a dog, cat, or parrot! :)
Only (half) kidding.

It looks great, but the lack of kitchen, bathroom, and running water really turn it into a short-weekend cabin, no?

Love it, but yeah, a bathroom and running water are a necessity, even for a weekend.

Nah, you could totally spend more than a weekend here! Solar shower hung from a tree and a pit bathroom by another tree. Seriously!
