Better Than Site-Built Quality
Your Craft Cottage Builders home is constructed to the same strict building codes as site-built homes. Unlike mobile or manufactured homes that are required to meet a much less stringent set of quality standards, once our homes are set, they are utterly indistinguishable from a site-built home.
Our homes feature:
- 2×4 wall studs and 2×10 floor joists on 16” centers
- Full ½” drywall thickness throughout
- Roofs rated to all Georgia wind load requirements (Florida-certified roofs coming soon)
- ¾” engineered subflooring
- 6:12 roof pitch standard
- Quality siding options
- Other options available
The fact that our homes are built indoors at our Forsyth, Georgia factory means that your building materials never feel a drop of rain until the home is completed, weatherproofed, and installed on your property.
Luxury Is Within Reach – Comfort Included.

Modular vs. Manufactured/Mobile Homes
| Manufactured/Mobile Homes | Craft Cottage Modular Homes |
|---|---|
| Built to lower specifications from lighter-weight materials | Built to site-built building codes from high-quality building materials |
| Not real property – homes are titled, not deeded | Once set in place, the home is real property and taxed and deeded as such |
| Short, usually 7’ ceilings | Full 8’, 9’, or 10’ ceilings |
| Less visually appealing, low-pitch roofs limit placement in certain communities | More traditional, higher-slope roof pitches provide a premium, permanent look |
| Begin losing value as soon as they leave the builder’s lot | Appreciate just like other site-built, stick-built structures |
| Often prohibited in certain locations | Allowed anywhere a site-built home of the same floor plan would be allowed |
| Limited financing options available for buyers | All financing options, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA, FHA, and USDA are available with no rate increases |
| Usually fitted with small appliances, bath fixtures, and cabinetry | Full-size cabinets, appliances, and fixtures |
| Visible seams in double- and triple-wide units | No visible seams inside or out |
| Minimal wind/storm protection | Certified for most wind zones in the Southeastern US |

Move In Quickly
When you order a Craft Cottage Builders home, work will start in two different locations:
- Our site preparation partners will begin clearing and grading your property and building the foundation your new home will sit on.
- Our factory team will begin building your new home.
Typically, the site preparation work will take longer than building the home itself. By the time your home site, utilities, and foundation are ready, your home will likely be ready to be permanently situated.
From there, it will only take a couple of days to deliver and assemble the home. Typically, the time between placing your order and moving into your new Craft Cottage is only a couple of months – less than a third of the time required for a site-built home.
Preinstalled Heating and Air Conditioning
Unique in the Southeast, every home Craft Cottage Builders sells arrives from the factory with central heating and air conditioning already installed and with ductwork in place. Our smaller two-bedroom homes come equipped with a ducted mini-split system, while larger homes include a traditional split heat pump system.
Efficient Living: Good for the Planet and Your Pocketbook
Ensuring your home’s efficiency isn’t just a good deed for the planet; it’s a relief for your wallet, as well. Save money on energy bills with a Craft Cottage Builders home. Our homes feature Low-E windows and doors, as well as ample insulation (R-13 walls, R-22 floors, R-44 roof) to keep your home comfortable in any weather. That, combined with high-efficiency appliances, has earned our homes an EnergyStar certification from the EPA.
Our homes are also “Zero Energy Ready,” meaning their efficiency is so good that adding a renewable energy supply – like solar panels – can completely offset the home’s electrical needs.
Craft Cottages for Developers and Commercial Buyers
Craft Cottage Builders homes are also an excellent choice for developers and operators in hospitality, higher education, independent living, or other fields requiring small, affordable housing units. Potential use cases include:
-
Rental Property
Want to generate income from your vacant lot or land? Let us install a Craft Cottage Builders home and turn your lot into a revenue stream.
-
Short-term rental property
Developing property near a lake, beach, attraction, or other tourist draw? Craft Cottage Builders homes make great short-term rentals and vacation homes.
-
Hospitality
Cabin-style lodgings are incredibly popular – and profitable. Guests enjoy the additional privacy of a detached space; you enjoy the proceeds of premium rack rates.
-
Higher education
Craft Cottage Builders homes make perfect transient student or family student housing for students who need more space than a standard residence hall.
-
Independent living
Small and easy to maintain, Craft Cottage Builders homes make ideal independent living units for seniors and other long-term care residents.
Buying for Commercial Development
We’re ready to help get your development or other commercial project off the ground. For buyers purchasing more than five units, our engineers can work with you to develop a custom floorplan for your units. We can prepare your site for installation or provide your contractors with the required specifications for foundations.
Your Craft Cottages will be built in the same plant, using the same top-of-the-line materials as our residential units.
Why Choose Craft Cottages for Your Commercial Project?
-
Lower Cost
You can purchase a completed Craft Cottage Builders unit for a fraction of the price of a site-built unit of comparable size. With our commercial customization options, you can even have a floorplan tailored to meet your project's needs.
-
Small Footprint
All of our available floorplans fit a lot of living space into a small footprint, allowing you to fit more units into a given area.
-
Easy Upkeep
The relatively small size of our smaller units makes them a breeze to keep clean. Whether your guests/tenants are responsible for keeping their cottage tidy or you use a housekeeping service, they'll appreciate the easy upkeep.
-
Low Maintenance Costs
Our proven process results in a housing unit that’s built to the same standards as a site-built property, meaning that it’s built to last. Our cottages will withstand the wear and tear of even commercial life, requiring minimal maintenance and repair.
-
Custom Designs
Do you need a specific type, size, or layout fashioned for your development? We can fully design and certify a completely customized set of drawings in approximately 60 days at a minimal cost to our clients.
