Small House Plans For Weekend Retreats

Are you planning towards one day owning your own lakeside cottage or cozy cabin? Building such a comfortable retreat can be both fun and affordable if you utilize small house plans from The House Plan Shop. We have a wonderful selection of small house plans that are a perfect option for people who are looking for a place for weekend getaways while keeping expenses and maintenance to a minimum. These building plans are also ideal for those who have purchased a small or narrow lot and need a home with a small footprint.

We carry a wide variety of small house plans in a wide range of styles so you are sure to find something for a weekend cabin or beach home. In the Small/Affordable section you will find plans for log cabins, Cape Cod style homes, and ranches that range from traditional to contemporary in style, but offer economical living.

Cottage house plans

An easy-going lifestyle should be complimented by an easy-going home. At The House Plan Shop we offer plenty of simple house plans, including cabin and cottage house plans, for those who want to get away from the stresses of everyday living. If you are concerned about budget, these affordable home plans are an excellent choice for secondary homes or vacation homes that won't break your wallet.

Cottage house plans have long been popular as resort and coastal homes, but this style has recently seen an emergence in popularity in the suburbs as primary residence homes. Cottage floor plans are designed to create a cozy and functional atmosphere, and are closely related to cabin plans in size and layout.

Cabin house plans promote an outdoor lifestyle

Imagine fresh air, twinkling stars and a lush forest surrounding your home. All of this and more can be yours if you choose to build cabin house plans in a rural wooded area. Whether you want to live in a log cabin year round or just want to be able to visit your cabin for long weekends, we have blueprints that are practical for both lifestyles.

Our cabin house plans are designed with enjoying nature in mind, so many include wraparound decks, front porches and plenty of windows. If you find a style that doesn't include all of the features you are looking for in your rustic retreat, contact us about our modification service so we can customize the blueprints for you.
