How I designed this plan.

The Smoky Mountain Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 4.5-bath mountain home that spreads 2,407 square feet across three stories with a 2-car carport and a wraparound porch that ties the whole design together. I designed this plan for sloping lots where you want the views on one side and the entry on the other.

The main floor holds 1,588 square feet with a first-floor master bedroom, a stone fireplace, and a vaulted family room that anchors the open living layout. The kitchen flows into the dining and living spaces naturally, and the mud room and laundry room are positioned where you actually need them. Upstairs, 819 square feet adds bedrooms, a loft, and storage.

Nine-foot ceilings on the main level keep the proportions right, and the unfinished lower level is ready for future expansion whenever your family needs more room. That wraparound porch, screened porch, and open deck give you outdoor living from every angle. At 84 feet 9 inches wide by 78 feet 2 inches deep, this plan has a generous footprint that works beautifully on sloping mountain and lake lots.

The 2-car carport keeps costs lower than a full garage while still protecting your vehicles. This is mountain cottage living with room for the whole family. The Smoky Mountain Cottage plan is available for $1,495. For more mountain designs, see Wolf Creek, Timber Ridge, Stonegate, and River’s Reach.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Smoky Mountain 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 Smoky 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 Smoky 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 Smoky Mountain Cottage house plan?+

The Smoky Mountain 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 Smoky Mountain 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 Smoky 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.
