The Fairy Tale Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath mountain home that packs 1,932 square feet across three stories with a spiral staircase tower room that gives this plan a character all its own. I designed this for the buyer who wants something truly unique, a home that feels like it grew out of the mountainside with a story to tell in every room.

The main floor holds 1,272 square feet with a vaulted family room and an open living floor plan that keeps kitchen, dining, and living connected. Nine-foot ceilings maintain the proportions while the vaulted spaces add drama. A tower room at 85 square feet accessed by spiral staircase gives you a reading nook, office, or lookout that is unlike anything in any other plan. Upstairs, 571 square feet holds a loft and bedroom. The lower level adds 1,236 square feet with a bunk room, theater room, recreation room, and flex room for serious entertaining.

A front stoop, covered porch, screened porch, and grill deck give you outdoor living on multiple levels. At 48 feet wide by 46 feet 8 inches deep with no garage on a small lot, this cottage keeps the footprint tight while stacking living space vertically. The three-story design makes the most of sloping terrain. This is not a cookie-cutter plan. It is a home with personality that people will remember.

The Fairy Tale Cottage plan is available for $1,495. For more unique mountain designs, explore Acadia Mountain Cottage, Foothill’s Cottage, Mountain Moss Cabin, and Watersound Cottage.
