Visitor Cabins are residences scattered across
Friendship Island that players can repair and upgrade using special kinds of Crates. When decorated to meet certain requirements, visitor cabins can become home to various characters that can visit the islands.
Different islands use different Crates.
- Friendship Island, where the player starts, uses
Strawberry Crates. - Imagination Island, the home of
City Town, uses
Orange Sherbet Crates. (
)
Wheatflour Wonderland does not require crates. (
)
To get their first visitor cabin and claim it for their own, the player must complete the "Make Yourself At Home" quest. To unlock more visitor cabins, the player must complete the "Friends and Family" quest. To unlock the option to upgrade visitor cabins, the player must complete the "Bigger on the Inside" quest.
In
City Town, the
Rainbow Tower functions as a
Visitor Cabin. (
)
Visitor Residents
There are many
Island Visitors who may visit a
Visitor Cabin if it meets their requirements. Some are always traveling, while others travel on a weekly or seasonal schedule. Their visits usually last until the end of the day when their current request is filled. A visitor that has reached a
5-star rating by fulfilling their
Daily Quests on 5 occasions can be asked to permanently move into a
Visitor Cabin.
If the player wants a visitor to leave, the player can kick them out by choosing that option from the cabin or room sign. However, it is not necessary to make a visitor leave in order to move the visitor or their
Visitor Cabin. The cabin swap option swaps both the cabin or room's contents and the visitor occupying it, whether they are temporarily visiting or permanently in residence.
Only one
Island Visitor can reside in a
Visitor Cabin (if there is only one room). To have multiple
Island Visitors in a
Visitor Cabin, the player must upgrade the cabin.
Important Note
See the "Island Visitors" page for more specific information about Island Visitors.
Visitor Cabins by Region
Every region has different amounts of
Visitor Cabins that require different amounts of
Strawberry Crates to open.
My Melody can reduce the cost to open by 1 crate if she has the ability unlocked and is currently the player’s companion.

Locations
Furnishing Visitor Cabins
In order to furnish a
Visitor Cabin, the player must first enter the desired
Visitor Cabin that they would like to furnish. After entering the
Visitor Cabin, there will be a
"furnishing" icon on the lower right corner of the screen. Selecting that button will enter the player into the furnishing mode.
When pressing on the
"add furniture" icon, a menu will pop-up that will display all of the items that the player can place on the floor of the cabin that are currently in the player's inventory.
Item Categories and Filtering
The player can choose from five different categories:
All Items,
Food,
Critters,
Furniture,
Flowers, and
Comic Books.
All Items will display all the possible items that the player can place in the cabin.
Food will display all the possible food items that the player can place in the cabin.
Critters will display all the possible critters that the player can place in the cabin.
Furniture will display all the possible furniture items that the player can place in the cabin.
Flowers will display all the possible flowers that the player can place in the cabin.
Comic Books will display all the possible comic items that the player can place in the cabin.
Each category (besides
All Items) can be filtered in a variety of ways, including by
Tags and
Visitor. The
Tags filter will allow the user to organize the item display based on each item's
Tag. The
Visitor filter will allow the user to organize the item display based on items in that category that meet an
Island Visitors' cabin requirements.
How to Place an Item
When the player finds an item they would like to use, they can press
"Place", which will then remove the item from the player's inventory and place it into the cabin, or
"Cancel" to cancel placing an item.
How to Move an Item
In order to move furniture around, the player can press on the desired item to select it. This allows the player to drag it to a new position and causes three icons to appear:
Rotate,
Remove, and
Confirm. The
Rotate icon will allow the player to rotate the piece of furniture to the desired rotation. The
Remove icon will remove the piece of furniture from the cabin and place it back into the player's inventory. The
Confirm icon will confirm any changes made to the piece of furniture.
Customize Wallpaper and Flooring
The player can also change the wallpaper and flooring of the cabin by pressing the
"paint roller" icon. A menu will appear on screen that allows the player to select which
wallpaper or
flooring they would like to use to decorate the cabin.
How to Place Items in/on Objects
To place items on
Clothing Stands or inside
Aquarium Tanks and
Terrariums, the player must exit out of furnishing mode by pressing the
exit button and walk up to the object. When close enough, the
interact icon will appear on the lower right side of the screen. Once pressing on the
interact icon, a menu will pop-up that will display all the possible items that can be displayed that are currently in the player's inventory. When the player finds an item they would like to use, they can press
"Accept", which will then remove the item from the player's inventory and place it onto/into the object.
To place items on top of other items, such as
tables, the player can drag items while in
"Furnishing Mode" over the item they'd like to place the other item on top of. [4] There is a maximum height limit to how high items can be stacked on each other.

How to Remove Items
To remove all items in a
Visitor Cabin, the player can press the
"pack up" icon near the "add furniture" and "paint roller" icons. A pop up with appear to confirm if the player really wants to put all items in the cabin back into their inventory.
To remove an individual item, press on the item. Once selected, a menu will appear with the
Rotate,
Remove, and
Confirm buttons. The player can select the
"Remove" button/option to remove the item. Once removed, the item will go back into the player's
Inventory.
Exit Furnishing Mode
To exit furnishing mode, the player can press the
exit button in the upper right corner of the screen.
Editing Island Visitor Cabins
An
Island Visitors'
Visitor Cabin can be altered after they've become a permanent resident, meaning that the island visitor's cabin requirements do not have to be met once they've become a permanent resident. If the player has not reached a
5-star rating with an island visitor, then the cabin must meet the island visitor's cabin requirements.
Cabin Exteriors
The exterior appearance of
Visitor Cabins can change in two ways: through
upgrading the number of rooms it has (see "Upgrading Visitor Cabins") and through planting decorative flowers in the
Visitor Cabin's flower bed at the front if the
Visitor Cabin.
Decorative Flower Beds
Most
Visitor Cabins can display up to three decorative flowers in the flower bed located at the front of the
Visitor Cabin. [5]
A
Visitor Cabin's flowers can be edited (even before the cabin is renovated) by
interacting with the
Visitor Cabin's sign. The flowers placed here will not grow, breed, or mutate. Players can place plucked flowers in these flower beds, but not seeds or troweled seedlings. This feature is purely decorative as there are no in-game benefits gained by placing particular flowers. By default, exterior cabin flower beds are empty.
Cabin Swapping
Once the player has opened more than one
Visitor Cabin, the entire contents of the cabin can be swapped between cabins. In a non-upgraded cabin, this is done by
interacting with the cabin's sign and choosing the "swap"
option. This also swaps any visitor to the same location as their cabin's contents. In an upgraded cabin, the information
icon at the top right of the outdoor cabin sign or the room plaques inside the cabin have the "swap"
option. See "Residents" for more information.
An
Island Visitor can be moved to a different
Visitor Cabin once they've become a permanent resident. If the
Island Visitor is required to be located in a specific region, they will only be able to be re-located to another cabin in that region using the "swap"
option. For example,
Mimmy is required to have a cabin in
Seaside Resort and cannot be moved to a cabin in a different region, such as
Spooky Swamp.
Hearts Meaning
Island Visitors have a 50% chance of visiting if you fulfill their
Visitor Cabin requirements. You can increase those chances by adding items that they like (their Liked
Tag).
The
hearts match a visitor’s Liked
Tag item(s) in a 1:1 ratio, up to five. The hearts are the same as the number of matching tag items for the
Island Visitor.
The hearts increase the normal 50% chance that a visitor visits on any given day. The exact amount of impact that the hearts have has not been confirmed, but the effect of 5 hearts is significant.
The player can check their hearts via the
Visitor button or by
interacting with the sign outside of their cabin.
- Example of 5 hearts near a cabin visitor. The player can check their hearts via the
Visitor button. [6]
Upgrading Visitor Cabins
After completing the "Bigger on the Inside" quest, the player can upgrade any repaired
Visitor Cabin in any region to add up to 5 additional rooms. To upgrade a cabin, the player must
interact with the cabin's sign and choose the "upgrade"
option. Upgrading turns the main room into a lobby, shifts any preexisting cabin room into Room A of the cabin, and opens room B.
My Melody's ability does not lower the cost of cabin upgrades.
Once a cabin is upgraded, certain functions previously accessed through interacting with the main cabin sign (such as swapping a visitor cabin's resident to a new location)
| Upgrade # | Cost in |
Additions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | lobby + room B |
| 2 | 5 | room C |
| 3 | 8 | lobby stairs + room D |
| 4 | 15 | room E |
| 5 | 25 | room F |
For
Friendship Island cabins the upgrade costs are always the same, regardless of how much it cost to originally open the cabin. This results in an element of strategy to get the best crates-to-rooms ratio, especially in
Merry Meadow and
Cloud Island.
For example, the cheapest known method to get 8 rooms in
Merry Meadow is 62 crates, which is to unlock 2 cabins with
My Melody and then give them 3 upgrades each ((15 + 3 + 5 + 8) × 2 = 62).
To upgrade the
Rainbow Tower, the player must use
Orange Sherbet Crates. (
)
Cabins in
Wheatflour Wonderland cannot be upgraded. (
)
Player Cabins
The player will be able to claim their own
Visitor Cabin once they have completed the "Make Yourself At Home" quest. To claim a cabin, the player must go to one of their repaired
Visitor Cabins, walk up to the sign outside of an un-upgraded cabin or a room plaque inside of an upgraded cabin, and select the "Move In" button. Cabins occupied by Island Visitors can be claimed, but the visitor will be forced to move out immediately. The player can also move out of their own cabin by walking up to the sign outside of their currently owned cabin and selecting the "Move Out" button. A cabin that is owned by the player the
star icon on the cabin's sign. The player can teleport directly to their cabin via
Fast Travel when selecting the "Home" option under the
"Your Cabin" section.
Multiplayer Cabins
In multiplayer, the hosting player will be able to have a guest move into a
Visitor Cabin once the host has completed the "Friends From Afar" quest and achieved a friendship level of 4 or higher with another player. Additionally, the player must have completed the "Friends and Family" quest. Having a multiplayer friend at level 4 or higher visiting also unlocks the "Vacation Homes" quest, which gives instructions on how to invite the guest player into a cabin.
To move a guest in, the host must interact with the cabin of a repaired and unoccupied
Visitor Cabin (or the room plaque of an unoccupied room in an upgraded cabin), select the "Invite Friend" option, and then confirm the invitation. A cabin that is a multiplayer cabin will have the
multiplayer icon.
The guest invited to the cabin will receive a notification at the top of their screen, and interacting with it will give them the option to teleport to their new cabin. The guest can then enter the cabin and decorate it if they want. If the host also enters the cabin, the host can react to the guest's decorating with emotes on the screen.
Items placed by a guest still belong to the guest, and the guest can reclaim their items at any time, even while not on the host's island, by interacting with the
multiplayer button in their inventory. If they do so while not on the host island, the cabin on the host island will remain decorated until the guest visits the host again.
The host can also remove the guest from the cabin at any time. Interacting with a multiplayer guest's cabin's sign will show the option to "Kick Friend". If the host clicks that and then confirms their choice, the guest will be moved out immediately. If the guest is not on the island and has not yet reclaimed decorations from their end, the guest will receive their items upon their next visit.
