About this plan

A covered back porch extends the living space of this 852-square-foot, two-story cabin, creating an outdoor area beyond its compact 30′ × 24′ footprint. The first floor contains 577 square feet, while the upper level adds another 275 square feet. With one bedroom and one full bathroom, the cabin uses a vertically arranged layout to accommodate its living spaces within a modest building footprint.

The open floor plan connects the living room with the kitchen and dining area, allowing the main level to serve as the central gathering space. This arrangement keeps cooking, dining, and relaxing activities within close reach rather than dividing them among separate enclosed rooms. The second floor provides the additional level within the two-story configuration, while the single-bedroom layout suits a smaller household or a private retreat. The covered back porch extends everyday activities outdoors without increasing the enclosed living area.

Foundation options include slab, crawl space, basement, or walkout basement, giving the cabin several potential site configurations. The structure uses 2x4 wall framing and reaches a listed building height of 24 feet. Its lack of a specified garage keeps the focus on compact cabin living and porch access. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
