Below are the Top 5 Reasons You Should Consider The Dog Trot House Plan when building your home.
- This plan is made for entertaining family and friends. The guest wing features two bedrooms and a bathroom. This gives your family and friends a sense of having their own space while still being able to participate in the fun!
- There’s ample places to store things or just extra areas where one can sleep. There’s a ladder leading to the open loft above that is great for additional sleep space and storage. Visit https://onestopselfstorage.com/dayton-ohio to see commercial storage places that are both big and rent friendly.
- There’s plenty of space to entertain guests. Dog Trot cabins have two main living areas connected through a breezeway. This gives your guests plenty of room to hangout and move around.
- It’s a versatile and functional house plan. The breezeway connecting the two living rooms can be a screened in porch or a closed in living space.
- It’s aesthetically appealing. This house plan is an eye catcher. There’s so many different ways you can personalize this home and really bring out its features. For its residential roofing system, it is advised that you hire a roofing contractor to ensure that the roof installation is done properly.
Diana’s Dog Trot is a version of our very popular Camp Creek Cabin dog trot plan that was built at Lake Martin in Alabama. Dog Trot cabins have two main living areas connected through a breezeway. You enter the main cabin to a vaulted great room with a fireplace that features a small kitchen and dining area. There is a latter leading to the open loft above that is great for additional sleeping space and storage. The master bedroom and bath are located on the rear of the home. The breezeway connecting the two living areas can be a screened in porch or a closed in living space. The guest wing features two other bedrooms and a bathroom. We have sold this cabin all over the United States and everyone that has built it loves it!

Very nice concept, would like to see a set of stairs incorporated into the design to the loft insted of the ladder.
Hi Brian, Thanks for your compliments. We have a version with stairs instead of the ladder, if you’re still interested in seeing it you can email us at [email protected] and we’ll send it to you. Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks!
I would like to see the version with stairs please, maybe a spiral staircase.
Hi Max Fulbright!
Love this Dog Trot plan. In addition to seeing the plan with a staircase instead of a ladder, have you done any alterations to include a slightly larger kitchen/great room to accommodate a family sized dining table but still include the working Island? Additionally, with the staircase leading up to the loft, is there room under to put a staircase leading to a basement?
Please send other versions of if you have them.
Best,
Frank Jacobucci
Ever since I first saw this design I have loved this house. Living in the Hill Country of Texas I’m familiar with “dog trot” style homes, but you’ve brought this design into the 21st century. I, too, am interested in a model with stairs and a (slightly) different configuration of the bathrooms and laundry area in the main house. Thank you for creating such a livable home!
Hi
I would like to build the house in 2 phases with the 2 bedroom addition being done last (18 months later). I would like to build on slab and would like a pull down stair to the loft. Where does the ac go if built in two phases? Thanks
Anything similar but with living space/kitchenette in the other side as well?? To accommodate roommate but with all privacy?
As a louisiana native i am very familiar with this design, as we have many extant examples of this style from the 19th/early 20th century in our state. I just returned from A hunting trip and while there i checked on an old “homeplace” thats hidden and very remote. I was pleasantly surprised to find the dog trot house still standing, with chimneys intact! I remember the last heir of the place dying in the 1970’s and its been uninhabited since then. It looks in pretty decent shape. On the banks of a river, in a very remote and inaccessible forest. Would love to email you the photos i took last week!
I have 2 separate sheds 8′ x 8′ X 9′(high)…built by the same manufacturer virtually identical. I have moved them onto a 25′ sq concrete pad. They are still on skids right now. I would like to find a way to “tie” them together in a Dog-Trot fashion….A continuous deck and lattice/pergola style roof connection seems to be the most cost-effective way of doing this….but thought I should run it by someone at your company to see if you have a better idea. Is this something you can help with me with or refer me to someone who can?please…(Moving them into the best position will take a machine..but I want to do the rest of this with a carpenter in my back yard) Thanks
Mr. Fulbright,
I would like to see the version of the Camp Creek Camp Dog Trot house plan with stairs instead of a ladder. Thank you!
Very much in love with this plan. Would love to know if the plan can be larger? Really want to build this on our lake property, just want the main living area bigger with more square footage.
Could I get a copy of this house plan with stairs incorporated instead of the ladder?
We would love to see the house plans with the stairs for the Dog Trot.
