Mossy Creek Cabin
Mossy Creek Cabin is a cottage house plan for sloped lots, offering 1,543 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, and 2 1/2 baths. A strong fit for wraparound porch, screened porch, and entry porch.
2-StoryHow I designed this plan.
I designed the Mossy Creek Cabin as a rustic cottage house plan that feels like it grew right out of the hillside. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,543 square feet across two stories, this cabin packs a surprising amount of living into a compact footprint. It is the kind of plan I would build for my own family on a wooded lot near the water.
Step inside and the open family room, kitchen, and dining area greet you as one connected space. Nine-foot ceilings keep the main level feeling airy, and the layout flows naturally so you are never boxed in. Upstairs you get three bedrooms and dedicated lake storage for all the gear that comes with waterfront living. The half bath on the main floor means nobody is running upstairs when company is over.
Every square foot here earns its keep. Outside is where this cabin really shines. A wraparound porch gives you views from nearly every angle, and the screened porch is your mosquito-free retreat on summer evenings. At just 46 feet wide by 42 feet deep with no garage requirement, this plan fits beautifully on lake lots, small lots, and corner lots alike.
It is a true craftsman cottage built for the way people actually live at the lake. The Mossy Creek Cabin plan is available for $1,495. If you love this style, take a look at The Runaway, Lake James Cabin, Waterview Cabin, and Autumn Place.

Building a home is one of life's biggest moments.
A house plan should come with access to the designer behind it.
When you buy the Mossy Creek Cabin, you get direct access to the Fulbrights — the same family that drew this plan. Before, during, and after your build. No support tickets, no routing through an aggregator, no "the designer isn't available." One phone number. One family.
"We've been doing this for 35 years. Every plan we sell is one I'd build for my own family. When you call, you get me — not a call center."Max Fulbright Sr. Lead Designer + Builder · West Georgia
Before you buy.
What is included in the Mossy Creek Cabin 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 Mossy Creek 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 Mossy Creek 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 Mossy Creek Cabin house plan?+
The Mossy Creek Cabin 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 Mossy Creek Cabin 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 Mossy Creek 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.
