I designed the Wedowee Creek Retreat as a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath craftsman cottage that delivers 2,120 square feet across two stories with space for a boat below. If you live on the lake and need a home that handles both your family and your watercraft, this is the plan I would build.
The main level holds 1,361 square feet with a vaulted family room, vaulted kitchen and dining room, and an open layout that keeps the whole family connected. A stone fireplace anchors the living space, and the first-floor master suite gives you privacy on the main level. Nine-foot ceilings keep everything feeling airy. Upstairs, 759 square feet adds bedrooms and flexible living, and the optional boat garage on the lower level is the detail that lake homeowners always wish they had planned for.
Over 400 square feet of combined porch space gives you outdoor living on every level, including a screened porch, covered porch, grill deck, and stoop. The optional 2-car garage fits within the 47-foot-4-inch by 54-foot-4-inch footprint on a sloping lot. This is a home designed from the ground up for waterfront living where the boat is part of the family.
The Wedowee Creek Retreat plan is available for $1,495. Similar lake-oriented plans include Butler’s Mill, Autumn Place, Smoky Mountain Cottage, and Wolf Creek.

Builder Insight
I designed the Wedowee Creek Retreat the way I approach every plan — starting with how a family actually lives in a home, not with the exterior style. Open flow where it matters, private space where it's needed, and no wasted square footage. That's 25 years of building experience in every dimension.
