Builder's Insight · Max Fulbright Sr.

How I designed this plan.

I designed the Lake Glenville Cottage as a waterfront cottage house plan for narrow, sloping lots where capturing the view from every angle is the whole point. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath design delivers 1,501 square feet across two stories, wrapped in more outdoor living than plans twice its size.

The main floor holds 931 square feet with a first-floor master suite positioned to take full advantage of the views, and an open living area centered on a stone fireplace that makes cool mountain evenings feel like exactly what you came for. Step outside to the wraparound porch or screened porch depending on the weather, and use the grill deck when it is time to cook outside.

Upstairs, 570 square feet of sleeping quarters open directly onto a private upper deck – arguably the best feature on any lake or mountain plan. At just 34 feet wide and 44-foot-4-inch deep, Lake Glenville fits the narrow waterfront and sloping lots that reject larger plans outright. No garage keeps the footprint tight and the cost honest. This is a plan that works with a challenging site rather than fighting it. Plans are $1,495.

For similar waterfront designs, see the Lake James Cabin, The Runaway, Water’s Edge, and Waterview Cabin.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Lake Glenville 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 Lake Glenville 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 Lake Glenville 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 Lake Glenville Cottage plan?+

The Lake Glenville 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 Lake Glenville 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 Lake Glenville 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.
