How I designed this plan.
The Cheaha Mountain Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath craftsman cottage that puts 1,720 square feet of living on a sloping lot in a way that makes the terrain work for you instead of against you. I designed this plan for mountain and lake lots where the view is downhill and you want every room to take advantage of it.
The layout flips the convention by putting 1,113 square feet of primary living on the lower level, where the dining room and family room open to the space above with dramatic double-height ceilings. The main entry at 607 square feet sits on the upper level with bedrooms and a foyer loft that overlooks the living space below. Nine-foot ceilings and the open connection between floors make this compact home feel remarkably spacious.
Dedicated lake storage keeps your gear organized and out of the way. Outside, a front porch greets you on arrival, an upper porch extends the master suite outdoors, and a lower patio gives you ground-level access to the yard. At 48 feet 10 inches wide by 42 feet 8 inches deep with no garage, this cottage fits sloping lake and mountain lots where most plans need expensive site work just to get started.
It is a smart, compact design that lives much bigger than its numbers suggest. The Cheaha Mountain Cottage plan is available for $1,495. Also explore Autumn Place, Acadia Mountain Cottage, Foothill’s Cottage, and Mountain Moss Cabin.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Cheaha Mountain 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 Cheaha Mountain 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 Cheaha Mountain 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 Cheaha Mountain Cottage plan?+
The Cheaha Mountain 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 Cheaha Mountain 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 Cheaha Mountain 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.
