How I designed this plan.
The Coosa River Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cabin that stacks 1,387 square feet across three stories on a footprint built for sloping and narrow lots. I designed this plan for the buyer who wants waterfront living without bulldozing half the hillside to make it work. At 48 feet wide and 39 feet deep with no garage, it fits sites that send most plans packing.
Inside, the main floor anchors everything around a double-sided stone fireplace that warms both the great room and dining area. Vaulted ceilings in the great room lift the space so it feels open and generous despite the compact square footage. The first-floor master bedroom keeps your primary suite on the main level where it belongs, and the open layout connects kitchen, dining, and living without a single wasted hallway.
Upstairs, a bunk room and additional bedroom give family and guests their own space with 447 square feet of second-floor living. Step outside and you will find covered porches, a screened porch, a grill deck, and a covered patio giving you outdoor options on every level. Nine-foot ceilings on the main floor and that vaulted great room keep the interior feeling airy and bright.
The three-story design takes full advantage of sloping terrain, putting recreation space on the lower level where it gets natural light and walkout access. The Coosa River Cottage plan is available for $1,495. Similar plans worth exploring include Waterview Cabin, The Runaway, Lake James Cabin, and Mossy Creek Cabin.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Coosa River Cottage 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 Coosa River Cottage 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 Coosa River Cottage 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 Coosa River Cottage plan?+
The Coosa River Cottage 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 Coosa River Cottage 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 Coosa River Cottage 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.
