Fish Camp with Stairs

The Fish Camp was my personal cabin for years. This stairs version builds on that design with an upstairs sleeping loft reached by a full staircase, giving you extra room for company while keeping the main bedroom downstairs. It is a small cabin plan with loft and stairs that works well for a weekend getaway or a smaller everyday home.

Start on the front porch and come through the French doors into the great room. The vaulted ceiling opens the room up, and the fireplace gives you a place to gather when the weather turns cool. The kitchen is open to the living space, so making a meal does not mean missing out on what everyone else is doing.

The main bedroom sits at the back of the cabin, away from the front gathering space. It has its own full bath and French doors to a side deck. That gives you a quiet place to step outside in the morning before the rest of the house gets going. The laundry is nearby, and a separate half bath serves the main living area.

The interior stairs take you up to the loft, where the bunk spaces tuck beneath the sloped ceiling. There is a full bathroom upstairs, so overnight guests have a bath close at hand. A small office gives you a place for a desk without using the kitchen table, and the open space above the great room preserves the cabin’s generous ceiling height.

With 1,085 heated square feet, one main-floor bedroom, a sleeping loft and 2½ baths, Fish Camp gives you a lot of useful space in a small home. You can enjoy the main floor when it is just you, then use the loft when family or friends come to stay. Look through the floor plans, and let us know if there is a change that would make this cabin fit the way you want to live.
