little house
Tiny cozy home
Little house is a euphemism for an outhouse or outdoor toilet, from the era before indoor plumbing: The little house out back needed a new seat.
The term sounds quaint now, evoking rural or frontier life.
It also appears in the title of Laura Ingalls Wilder's memoirs of 19th-century American pioneer childhood.
