Cabin and Cottage Plans

Cottage house plans tend to be smaller in size with one or one and a half stories. Most cabin and cottage plans are characterized by an overall cozy feeling that make them perfect for vacation retreats. In the Middle Ages, cottages housed agricultural workers and their families, thus they were smaller peasant dwellings. In North America, most buildings known as cottage or cabins are used for weekend or summer getaways by city dwellers. Cottage style homes generally are located near lakes or the ocean, and in wilderness areas for exceptional fishing and hiking, although this type is more commonly referred to as a “cabin” in the United States.
