Plan Description
Small Southern Cottage Home Plan under 800 Sq Ft - Great Guest House
Small Cabin Plan with Screened Entry 52011 is one of our best-selling one bedroom cabin plans. In 793 square feet of living space, you have 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Plus, the guest / flex space can easily make a second bedroom. This budget-friendly cabin plan offers one large covered porch for outdoor relaxation. The traditional / country architecture guarantees that it will fit into almost any neighborhood if you want to build an in-law cottage or detached guest house. But don’t limit yourself. Build out in the wilderness and make it a vacation home when you tire of the daily grind.
Small Cabin Plan With Comfortable Living Space
Outdoor activities are unlimited when you have a beautiful front porch. Rain or shine, you are sheltered by a generous covered porch which measures 17' wide by 8' deep. Picture yourself sipping sweet tea in a rocking chair on the front porch. Say hello to the neighbors as they stroll by, or invite them over to share conversation. Plenty of room for a grill and picnic table, and the screen will protect you from pesky insects.
The interior has everything you need to vacation in comfort. Firstly, the living room is anchored by a big fireplace, and the vaulted ceiling makes the room feel even larger. Secondly, the kitchen is open to the dining area, so there is no separation between host and guests. The kitchen is the perfect size for this little cabin, and there is no wasted space. Meal preparation is easy because everything is within reach, and there is even a dishwasher. Thirdly, there is a stacked washer and dryer located in the closet off the guest / flex space.
One-Two Bedroom Cabin Plan
The main bedroom is located on the left, rear side of the floor plan, and it has a vaulted ceiling. The walk in closet measures 5'4 wide by 4'4 deep. Access the one full bathroom from the main bedroom or from the flex room. It has a small linen storage unit and a full-size shower. Next, we find a guest room / flex space. Depending on how you want to use this little home, the room can be a second bedroom, or it can function for any other purpose that is needed by the occupants.
Toiletries can be stored in the hallway coat closet if you run out of room in the bathroom. In conclusion, Small Cabin Plan 52011 is a flexible home plan. Build it for your first-ever home, invest it as a rental property, or use it for a yearly family vacation home.

Previous Q & A
Q:Is the fireplace in model 52011 gas or wood? Thank you.
A:It’s drawn as a vented fireplace with exterior chimney flue so it will accommodate gas or wood.
Q:Where is the rear exit located. the pics don't show another exit.
A:It just has the one door with the other rooms having egress windows that meet fire code.
Thank you,

A:3’ wide opening to bedroom hall. 3’ wide doors at bedroom, bath, & closet.
Q:Does this plan meet IBC 2018 and can a loft be added? Short height on loft is ok
A:It will meet 2018 code. A loft could be added with some modifications. I can offer a free modifiable CAD file upgrade with PDF purchase… this would make it easy for their local builder/designer to make modifications.
Q:What are the ceiling heights in the living room and master bedroom? Can you tell me exactly how much storage is in the attic? I'm building in Michigan. Are there any restrictions there?
A:Living room vaults from 9’ to 14 high
Master bedroom vaults from 9’ to 13’ high
There is some attic space above kitchen & flex room
No restrictions for Michigan
Q:where is the furnace in this house plan and how much space is in the attic...?
A:Furnace in attic. There would be a small amount of attic storage.
Q:Do you have more pictures of this house than what is in the photo gallery. Is there a video tour of this house...? Is there also storage space in the attic. Is that what the dotted line in the flex room is...?
A:Here’s an album to all photos of that project https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-cottages-guest-house-pj-vj~5585607
There would be some space in attic for storage above flex room. The dashed line is the attic access location.
Q:How is vaulted ceiling insulated and where is the furnace and hot water heater located? I need to know this before i move forward. Also, is this normal for utilities not being shown on plans?
A:The vaulted ceiling has fiberglass batt insulation (of course you could also use spray foam as an option). The tankless water heater is shown next to laundry. The furnace is in the attic.
Q:Are you doing inside dimensions or including the outside material.
A:Sizes listed in rooms are interior dimensions.
Q:I'm developing a new venture that to create Continuing Care Retirement Communities in several states. This plan meets all the requirements for homes that we will be building in mass quantity. I would like to present any number of the pics from the photo gallery for this plan and potentially others you've created that will meet our needs. I would like to speak with someone directly about the use of pics from this site. Also, do you work independently or only through FHP? If possible, would you be interested in collaborating with us on projects? Your time and attention is greatly appreciated, Kathleen Campbell
A:On a few occasions where this has came up... they’ll buy a one time use build but then I would need to work with them direct on a multi use licensing package and use of photos.
Thank you,
Todd
