Our story began simply. As a young father, I sought a playhouse for our daughter that would be both appealing for our home and, most importantly, provide her with a special place to grow in imagination and wonder. After failing to find a playhouse that felt worthy, I decided to create one myself and shortly thereafter Lilliput Play Homes was officially born. We have spent the past three decades dedicated to crafting creative play spaces for families and businesses alike. In a special moment for our family, I recently had the honor of providing our three-year-old granddaughter a Lilliput Play Home of her own, hopefully continuing to provide the same happy memories her own mother enjoyed as a child.
While our family and business has grown, we are still building playhouses with the same care and thoughtfulness as the original. Boundless creativity and joyous play are childhood ideals that have endured for generations and Lilliput Play Homes is proud to be stewards of those values. We are grateful and honored to be part of your family memories by providing beautiful spaces for childhood to flourish.
When creating that first playhouse for our daughter we hoped that it would provide her with special memories. Many years later, we found evidence that our hope was realized when we discovered a paper written by her for a college freshman class. It touched our hearts to see Alyssa recalling her childhood so tenderly. It is our sincere hope that our work can provide other families with their own special childhood memories.
Behind the Magic of Lilliput
Boutique Quality,
Global Reach
Industry Leader
Lilliput is proud to be considered the premiere creators of commercial and residential playhouses. We are honored to have brought our designs to small backyards, interior play rooms, celebrity homes, pay to play centers, schools, churches, resorts, early learning centers, day cares, libraries, health care centers, and children’s museums. In addition to our well-received custom designs, we have the ability to customize an existing design or create a complete custom playhouse or a themed play environment.
Our expertise from over 35 years in the industry has allowed us to set the standard for innovation, quality and market trends. While our work can be found world-wide, we remain a family-run business. We strive to know our customers and learn about their vision to enable us to exceed their expectations. Our reputation is founded on the principles of honesty and integrity. We endeavor to engage in the highest ethical standards in all our dealings, while recognizing that our core purpose is to create a sense of fun in all we do.
Ensuring a Safe Play Environment
Everything we build, and all our processes, are done with safety in mind, to protect your family, guests, and our employees. We operate under the guidance of an on-staff Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) who is tasked with ensuring that all we design complies with the applicable specifications of the CPSC Handbook for Public Playground Safety standards. We build using quality materials and safe finishes, meeting technical standards of the ASTM, a set of voluntary standards that is continually updated and improved. We do not use products containing harming chemicals, and we only use low VOC water-based stains or paints, which are safer for your family, guests and the environment.
“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning,” (Fred Rodgers) and we strive to enable children to have fun and practice safely.
We collect and recycle all available materials. Our collection of polymer scraps alone has resulted in the recycling of over 10,500 lbs. of materials annually, keeping tons of waste out of landfills each year and enabling our industry partners to integrate and repurpose this material into outdoor living products. This type of successful collaboration helps to advance our sustainability goals and make a lasting positive impact on the environment.
Heirloom Quality Craftsmanship
Our playhouses are designed with quality and durability in mind. We are grateful to the skilled craftspeople we employ who use their talents to create each playhouse with pride and expertise. Each playhouse is built using today’s latest technology combined with yesterday’s attention to detail. We use the finest materials and have the guidance of certified playground safety inspector on staff to ensure a high quality, durable and safe play area.
Our designers, woodworkers, painters, artisans and our installation crew all work together with the single purpose of creating a playhouse that is built with attention to every detail, and is seamlessly placed in your space, ready to bring on smiles, joy and special memories.

“Lilliput Houses are TIMELESS and worth every cent. Many hours of Meaghan’s childhood were spent inside her house. … My husband always puts lights around all of the trees, as well as on Meaghan’s house for Christmas. This past winter was extremely bitter, and I went outside and told him to stop. He became upset and insisted that he finish putting lights on her house. He wanted to have everything as it always was so when her car turned on our street, she would see the twinkling lights on her house welcoming her home for Christmas."
