Cabin Floor Plans

Cabin plans are often designed with a rustic and adventurous feel ideal for settings in the woods, by a lake, or in the mountains. Cabins make ideal vacation or weekend homes. Cabin floor plans typically feature natural materials for the exterior, a simple and open floor plan, porches or decks, and a wood stove or fireplace. While historically small homes with 1-2 bedrooms, today’s contemporary cabins can be much larger and more luxurious.

What to Look for in Cabin House Plans?

Somewhat similar to cottage house plans, cabin plans have much less ornamentation and a more rustic vibe.

• Cabin exteriors prominently feature natural materials such as logs or timber, weathered shingles, wood siding, and stone.
• Porches and decks allow for the enjoyment of shade or the sun in the great outdoors.
• Oversized windows provide natural light and tremendous views.
• A simple, open floor plan maximizes the use of space while making a smaller footprint feel more spacious.
• A loft provides extra space as sleeping quarters or a reading nook above the main floor.
• Exposed wood and natural tones create a lodge-like atmosphere inside the home.
• A master suite on the first floor, as many cabins are one or 1.5-story floor plans.
