How I designed this plan.
The Waterview Cabin is one of my favorite small cabin designs because it proves you do not need a massive footprint to live well on the water. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cabin gives you 1,387 square feet across two to three stories, and it fits on the kind of small, narrow lots that most big plans simply cannot touch.
Inside, the open living area anchors the main floor with a stone fireplace that becomes the heart of the home on cool evenings. Vaulted ceilings in the great room push the space upward so it feels twice its size.
The master bedroom sits on the main level, which I always recommend for convenience, and a jack and jill bath connects the upstairs bedrooms so kids or guests share without fighting over a single door. At 940 square feet on the main floor and 447 upstairs, the flow is simple and the layout wastes nothing. Step outside onto the wraparound porch and you have got views from every direction.
The screened porch is your year-round outdoor room, perfect for morning coffee or late-night card games. At 44 feet wide and 42 feet deep with no garage, this cabin keeps the footprint tight and the living space generous. It is built for lake lots and narrow sites where every foot of width counts. The Waterview Cabin plan is available for $1,495.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Waterview Cabin plan set?+
Each plan set includes dimensioned floor plans for all levels, front, side, and rear elevations at 1/4" scale with notes and dimensions, a foundation plan for the version supplied, and roof plan. Additional foundation options are available separately and are not included in the plan price. Please inquire before ordering to confirm whether we have the version you need. Available as a PDF plan set ($1,495) or editable CAD files ($1,950). Electrical plans are not included because they are customer-specific and finalized on site with your builder and electrician after framing.
Can the Waterview Cabin plan be modified?+
Yes. Modifications are one of the most common services we provide. Our in-house design team handles all modifications directly. Common changes include adjusting bedroom count, resizing rooms, changing exterior materials, or adapting for a specific lot. Typical turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks. Contact Max Fulbright Designs at (770) 301-4214 or [email protected] for a free consultation and quote.
Does the Waterview Cabin plan require a structural engineer's stamp?+
Stock plans do not include a professional engineer's stamp. Many US jurisdictions require a licensed engineer in your state to review and stamp the plans before permit submission. Check with your local building department before purchasing. This is a standard industry practice and is not unique to Max Fulbright Designs.
Who designed the Waterview Cabin plan?+
The Waterview Cabin plan was drawn personally by Max Fulbright Sr., the founder of Max Fulbright Designs. Max is a Georgia Institute of Technology-trained engineer who has designed and personally built more than 500 custom homes since founding the firm in 1990. Every plan in the Max Fulbright Designs catalog is drawn by Max himself.
Can I build the Waterview Cabin plan in any US state?+
Yes. Max Fulbright Designs has delivered more than 12,000 plans to homeowners and builders in all 50 US states and Canada. The Waterview Cabin plan is drawn to general residential construction standards that work in most US jurisdictions, though local building codes vary and should be reviewed with your builder before construction.
