I recently got a dollhouse and decided to check this place out on a whim. It was like a miniature museum right when you walked through the door. It looks small from the outside but it's actually quite big with multiple rooms. Anything you could want for your dollhouse they have. I could have browsed for hours. It was so much fun talking to the owners. Jean and Renee gave me a tour and helped me find a beautiful grasshopper weathervane. They even do dollhouse restorations. Overall it was my favorite find in Nashville and I can't wait to return.

Great quality miniatures and unexpected delight within!Miniature Cottage is a magical place. The moment you step through the door, you feel like you are in a completely different and wonderful world. The owner, Renee, is exceptionally talented. Her displays are fresh, inspiring and change with each season/holiday.The lovely staff is knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful.It is definitely worth the trip to visit in person. There are surprises everywhere and custom made creations that might not make it to the website! A fun experience! One thing my husband likes is that they work meticulously to price each tiny item. We always seem to find what we are looking for and more. One day we might even take one of Renee's classes!

Absolutely fantastic store! Exceptionally friendly staff and incredible selection! If you love miniatures you could make a whole day here! Even though the pricing is reasonable and in many cases VERY competitive with other miniature retailers online and in physical locations, miniatures can still add up fast (yes i spent too much but i loved it!!!); even if you just come to look though, it's very much worth the trip! I was even able to see some of the projects that the staff were creating and they are wonderfully talented!!! I hope I can visit again but even if I don't I'll continue to shop online. Highly recommend ?

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. This place is just 20 minutes from downtown Nashville. It is packed with everything you could want for your miniature collection. Artist created pieces if the highest quality as well as mass produced pieces. Building supplies, lighting, wallpaper, moldings. A doll making section with fabrics and trims. I spent 3 hours here and easily could have spent 3 more.

I am a phone customer and today on 10/22, I am flying to Nashville to meet the lovely ladies at Miniature Cottage and meet Bill who is building my dollhouse. So looking forward to it. The ladies could not be nicer over the phone when ordering. They are the very best,

This unassuming shop is packed with little treasures. While they certainly have smalls for children, it is geared towards adult miniaturist and collectors. The staff are very knowledgeable. The owner has provided me with some great ideas on how to achieve particular looks for my projects. If you see something you like, but it's out of your desired price range.... staff will show you something similar at lower prices. They have a good mix of all scales , and specialty artisan collections too! Also, no pressure when shopping. In fact, for people who like to make their own miniatures... the owner is happy to share ideas on how you could go about making your own items and where the products can be purchased. If you prefer to make a miniature cake instead of buy one... they can tell you how. Want to make a stained glass window, rather than purchase one... they know various techniques and where to buy the products. Not sure which technique you want to use for brickwork? They have many solutions. One of my favorite ideas the owner shared with me , when I was having trouble finding windows for a Tudor house was: How to make your own diamond pane "leaded glass" windows. Her solution worked perfect and looked great. Have an interest in miniatures, but don't even know how to begin? They can come up with ideas to your liking for starting small...such as completing a vignette, diorama, or room box... instead of jumping into a house. Need to learn the basic skills? They will tell you which glue is good for wallpaper; applying bead board; or laying carpet. Want to know how to prevent wallpaper from bubbling? Just ask! They've been in the business for a long time ... and are a great resource for all levels of learning. This store can make you feel like a kid again ... but for the adult hobbyist be prepared ... you might think you are walking in for one thing, but most often you'll come out with multiple items. So, budget accordingly or ask about their lay-a-way plan. Happy shopping!
