Cottage Home Plans

Cute details, cozy fireplaces, and tons of storybook charm abound in cottage house plans.

Cottage plans look as if they just stepped out of a fairy tale. Often built as vacation homes, cottage home plans are more sophisticated than cabins and feature lots of detail, like window boxes, arched doors, and gingerbread trim. They are often one or one-and-a-half stories, and may display a range of traditional architectural influences. Many cottage floor plans feature fireplaces and some outdoor living space.
