Best Kids' Playhouses of 2025

"I got this for my 2-year-old son, and he would honestly sleep in it if he could. It's super cute, and you can create so many different flexible little worlds inside. It took me about 30-40 minutes to assemble, not the 20 it says, but everything was included except a Phillips head screwdriver and flagpole. It fits easily for kids up to 7 or 8."

"I bought this for my 3-year-old granddaughter, and she absolutely loves it! While it's not as sturdy as the older ones, it's still a great little playhouse. The setup was pretty easy, and it holds up nicely in the weather."

"This playhouse is very cute! My toddler loves it so much that we bought one for my niece as well. It's the perfect size for smaller children, and they enjoy the shutters and having two doors. For the price, it truly is a great toy."

"I wanted something special for my grandsons, and this little cottage fits perfectly. The quality of the cedar wood is impressive, making it feel like a handcrafted piece rather than a cheap toy. The assembly design is so thoughtful, significantly reducing the number of parts and steps. I enjoyed the clear instructions, which made the process smooth, and although I had to get my wife's help at times, it was a pleasure to assemble. I highly recommend this playhouse!"

"I found this playhouse to be adorable and easy to assemble. It took me about two hours on my own, and the instructions were straightforward. My girls are thrilled with it!"

"My daughter is absolutely in love with her new house! The included kitchen parts, like the play phone and doorbell, are highlights for her. I managed to put it together in about 4.5 hours with my partner’s help, and despite some minor wood splitting, the overall quality is great. This playhouse is a wonderful way to keep her engaged outdoors!"

"My 2-year-old son absolutely loves this! Simple to assemble and sturdy for a young child. The appearance is just as pictured, and I appreciate the sun coverage while he plays outside. I wish it included a few more food pieces, but overall, it seems worth its value!"

"I bought this for my grandson for Christmas after he played with it in the store. It's a bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it! He loves the play kitchen and barbecue. This is one of the best Step 2 products we've purchased!"

"We are thrilled with this purchase! The quality and price are excellent, and thanks to a review, I bought some toy food that the kids love using while cooking on the BBQ section. The delivery was faster than expected, arriving within a week. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone!"

"I was very pleased with the playhouse's styling featuring shutters and a seat inside. It was easy to open the front door, which includes a doorbell, a mail slot, and a removable window box for storage. There's plenty of space inside, and it was a lot of fun to put together. I assembled it in about one hour."

"My niece just turned two, and a few friends and I decided to gift her this playhouse for her birthday. Since it’s made of plastic, we knew it would withstand the elements and whatever a toddler could throw at it. The assembly was relatively straightforward; a friend and I put it together in about an hour, even with a two-year-old 'helper' around. I recommend using a drill for pilot holes since the screws are attached from the inside, which made it a bit tricky, but overall, it came together nicely and looks great. My niece absolutely adores it!"

"I used this playhouse as a hay hut for my horses for three years, and now I'm passing it on to my niece who has two young daughters. It has been out in the elements but cleaned up beautifully. I told my niece it could serve as a 'camp' using pillows and rugs or even as a toy storage solution. I would have loved this as a kid!"

"I found the house absolutely adorable. It took me about 8 hours to assemble and 5 hours to paint and decorate. Since it only comes primed, I recommend using exterior paint. The instructions were accurate; I initially thought I could do it in one day, but it’s better to think of it as a two-day project. It was definitely worth the time and effort!"

"We got this house for my daughter’s 3rd birthday, and I love how tall it is, allowing both my 3-year-old and 6-year-old to play in it. My husband and I assembled it in less than 3 hours. A power drill made it easy, but we did encounter a few missing and split pieces. Overall, it’s a great purchase!"

"We hired someone to put this together, and we’re thrilled with how it looks. There were a few blemishes, but I snagged it on sale, so I don’t mind at all. We painted it and added decorations, and my daughter loves playing in it!"

"I purchased this playhouse for my granddaughter, and she absolutely loves it. It was easy to assemble and cleans up nicely, although I noticed that it's not as sturdy as the Little Tikes products I remember from my own childhood."

"This little cottage is so cute and matches our house perfectly! I bought it used at a discount, and while the assembly took me about an hour and a half, it was worth it. My kids are having a blast with it!"

"My little one enjoys this playhouse so much! It’s a fantastic feature in his playroom. I found it to be sturdy and easy to assemble, making it a wonderful addition for hours of fun!"

“I absolutely love this playhouse! I can enjoy playing in it with my daughter, which makes it so much fun. I would highly recommend it! The delivery was exceptional too; the Amazon driver called me ten minutes before arriving and brought it straight to our back patio.”

“I’m delighted with this purchase. It’s pretty and sturdy, and it brings big smiles to my grandchildren. The kids have a blast in it!”

“This playhouse is just perfect for four kids of different ages to play together easily. They love the real doorbell, and we appreciate that it’s not too loud. It has a great design where I can keep an eye on them while they feel like they have their own space.”

“I found it easy to assemble by myself in about 45 minutes. It’s very sturdy and adorable. It has been outside all summer, and it’s still in great shape!”

“This little house was exactly what I needed for a DIY chicken coop. The quality is pretty good, and with some reinforcements, it feels indestructible! I've received so many compliments on it already!”

“I highly recommend this adorable house! It was simple to put together and is the perfect size for my almost 3-year-old twins. The wood is high-quality, and I'm glad I chose this over a plastic option.”

"I bought this for my fur babies, and they absolutely love it. It's very easy to assemble and goes together perfectly. Just watch the video for the latches. It folds flat for storage without needing to be taken apart. The price is great and it feels sturdy!"

"I got this for my son's 4th birthday, and he really enjoys it! It's collapsible and feels very sturdy. We live in northern Michigan, and it withstands heavy rain and sun beautifully. My toddler can be rough with it, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. Shipping was fast too!"

"This playhouse is perfect for my kids and dogs! It's easy to assemble and folds up nicely for the lawn guy. I love that it doesn't have a floor, making it perfect for outdoor play. It would also be great on a foam pad in a playroom!"

“When my parents offered to buy our daughters a playhouse, we searched for the perfect one. I finally found the Lifetime Playhouse and was blown away by its cuteness. We trust Lifetime's quality since we have other products from them that have lasted. I was hesitant due to some negative reviews, but ended up purchasing it based on the five-star ratings. Now, our daughters are thrilled with their new house, and I found the YouTube assembly video incredibly helpful.”

“I was looking for something fun for my grandchildren. I considered a swing set but decided on this playhouse instead. Assembly took some time, but now that it's up, the girls enjoy playing in it constantly. It's very sturdy, and I love that even adults can fit inside comfortably.”

“We bought this for our grandchildren and got the idea of a platform and fence from another reviewer. This keeps the house off the ground and makes it level for our sloped yard. The platform took a day to build, but the house assembled in 2.5 hours with the YouTube video as a guide. The product is high quality, and I recommend using spray adhesive for the stickers.”
