Description

Experience a thoughtfully designed single-story cabin offering approximately 868 sq.ft. of heated living space, efficiently organized for comfort, simplicity, and year-round use. With a clean 40′ × 28′ footprint, integrated outdoor living, and a functional interior layout, this plan is ideal for small families, retirees, vacation homeowners, or short-term rentals.

Charming Exterior & Outdoor Living

This cabin features a warm, inviting appearance with balanced proportions and practical outdoor space.
A spacious 9′ × 28′ front terrace extends the living area outdoors perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying scenic surroundings.
Its simple rooflines, gable form, and wide openings contribute to a timeless and versatile architectural style that fits mountain, forest, lake, or countryside settings.

Smart & Functional Floor Plan

The layout is designed for efficiency and comfort, featuring:

Interior Heated Area (868 sq.ft.)

Large openings at the front elevation introduce plenty of daylight, enhancing the visual spaciousness of the living areas.
The gable roof structure provides added vertical interior volume, giving the cabin an airy and uplifting atmosphere.
