How I designed this plan.

I designed Baker Lake Cottage as a 4 to 6-bedroom, 5-bath lake home that delivers 3,912 square feet across three stories with boat storage and the kind of room count that makes this plan a natural for large families and vacation rentals. If you want a home that handles a crowd without ever feeling cramped, this is the plan.

The main level holds 2,357 square feet with a vaulted great room that anchors the open living layout. The flow from kitchen through dining into the living space is generous and natural. Upstairs, 1,555 square feet adds bedrooms, a study, a loft, and a bunk room.

The lower level at 2,087 square feet can be finished or unfinished with a theater, recreational room, shelter room with bunks, and dedicated lake storage for all the gear that waterfront life demands. Boat storage on the lower level is the detail that serious lake homeowners always plan for. A front porch, patio, screened porch, covered porch, and grill deck give you outdoor living on every level and for every occasion.

At 65 feet 10 inches wide by 70 feet deep on a large lot, this plan has the footprint to match its ambition. Three stories of living means every level has purpose, and the flexibility between four and six bedrooms lets you configure the plan to match your family size. The Baker Lake Cottage plan is available for $1,495. Similar large lake homes include Camp Stone, Hunter’s Bend, Asheville Cottage, and Banning Mills Lodge.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Baker Lake Cottage house 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, foundation plan (basement standard; slab and crawlspace available for an additional fee), and roof plan. 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 Baker Lake 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 Baker Lake 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 Baker Lake Cottage house plan?+

The Baker Lake Cottage house 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 Baker Lake Cottage house 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 Baker Lake 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.
