Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Looking for a compact two-story on a modest footprint (40–49 ft wide and deep)
  • Want a first-floor master suite with a spa-like owner's bath and walk-in closet
  • Plan to entertain outdoors with covered porches and a rear porch fireplace
  • Need a finished upper-level bedroom plus bonus loft space for flexible use (3 bedrooms finished plus loft)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-story layout with no stairs to navigate (this is a two-story plan)
  • Want 4+ finished bedrooms—this plan offers 3 bedrooms plus a loft
  • Require a large garage (no garage bays specified in this design)

About this plan

Mountain Retreat with First-Floor Owner's Suite

This craftsman house plan reimagines the classic mountain cottage in 1,700 sq ft, featuring two stories, three bedrooms, and three full baths on a solid basement foundation. Stone and timber accents create a rustic exterior that balances architectural volume with efficient, livable space.

The main floor centers on a bright, open social core where the lodge room and gourmet kitchen flow seamlessly for easy daily living. A first-floor owner's suite with walk-in closet provides a private sanctuary, while an additional family bedroom and upper-level loft ensure quiet, comfortable space for everyone. Three full baths and dedicated storage keep daily routines organized.

Outdoor living is a priority, with a wraparound front porch and private rear porch featuring its own fireplace—ideal for year-round gatherings and relaxation.
