Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage

We planned to put this cottage out in the backyard but once it came, I immediately put it together in our living room. Right now, it's in the house but once the weather is nicer (tons of rain right now!), we plan to put it out back. It has a working doorbell which my son thinks is great & it comes with a little phone. He walks around talking on it all of the time! He loves sitting on the seat next to the "sink". He sits there to eat his afternoon snack! Great product! Amazon.com had the best price, too. We saw the same one at target.com but the shipping was horrendous (the store didn't carry it & we couldn't get it shipped to the store).

I comparison shopped and this cottage appeared to be the best deal for its brand and size. My kids LOVE it! It's not an overwhelming size, we keep ours in the house, but it's not too small for multiple children to play in (a common complaint about other cottages if you look at different reviews) - my 2 toddlers spend hours in there: cooking, playing with stuffed animals, "sleeping," playing store, cleaning it up, I could go on and on. They love the little working doorbell, the mailslot, the working shutters and door, the little kitchen with "stools" on either side, and the phone. They are in toddler heaven! And they can still easily play in it when they have 1 or 2 other little toddler friends over to play. This was the best $175 we ever spent!

The Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage was a hit at our granddaughter's first birthday. She loves it, especially the phone and doorbell. Her little playmates and cousins also enjoy the cottage when they visit...even the family dogs stop bye for a visit when Emmie's in the house. It arrived within days of purchase, was easy to assemble, is well made, colorful and interactive. We are very pleased but most importantly, Emmie loves it!
