Looking to get DD a dollhouse for her 4th bday. We are getting rid of the fisher price my first dollhouse. I don't want plastic. I would prefer something that DD can grow with. Got my DN the Chelsea Doll Cottage. Considering getting the same for DD, but wanted to see what else was out there. I didn't want to spend over $100 though (unless more than one family member goes in on it). I see others when I google, but I know nothing of their quality. I really like the kidcraft dollhouses, but the one's I like are over $150. Any input?

I got DD1 a Plan dollhouse a while ago. Also, I believe Ryan's Room makes a nice wooden dollhouse. I got my recommendations from the Oppenheimer Toy Portfolio- they have a website with all their recs broken down by age.

My all-time favorite dollhouse is the one sold at Leaps and Bounds and made by Battat. All-inclusive and adorable. Love it. I've raved about this one over and over on the BBB, and I'm sure people are sick of me talking about how much I love this one!

I love this! My daughter isn't quite ready for a dollhouse, but I'm bookmarking.:) Thanks!

Just an fyi. There have been stellar deals on the Leaps and Bounds Battat dollhouse from time to time. Usually closer to the holidays. I think they even had a one day "deal of the day" $99 price last year around the holidays. And I know it has gone as low as $142 shipped here and there with promo codes/discounts.

I bought one for DD at Tuesday Morning for about $115. Worth the trip or a call to see if they have it there.

Constructive Playthings also has a very nice doll house. We had it and it was very well made. http://tinyurl.com/44l6h7b

My friend got that one on CL for $60. Of course, her DD loves to come play with our FP pink plastic one, though.

Heather, we decided to get DD a dollhouse and I wanted to get one she could grow into and enjoy for years to come. I searched around on Craigslist and found this one: http://www.realgoodtoys.com/store/productview/110988//Victoria_s_Farmhouse_Dollhouse_Kit. It was completely finished down to wallpaper, wooden floors, paint, carpet, pictures on the walls, etc. It was completely furnished and just lovely! I got it for a great deal and DD loves it.

If you can wait until Christmas, Costco usually has a Kidcraft dollhouse for well under $100.
