Can my floor plan help me live large with less?

We’d be remiss to overlook this compact plan, given it’s the reigning most popular log cabin floor plan on loghome.com. Thanks to exceptional spatial planning, the Rangeley manages to pack three very spacious bedrooms into just over 1,300 square feet. A deep front porch that runs the length of the facade evokes classic country charm and invites a slower pace of life. Inside, the pitched roof gives the interior volume and comfortable livability.

Can my floor plan also be a garage?

A rustic take on the classic carriage house, this 1,880-square-foot garage-cabin combo (sometimes called a “garbin”) neatly packs two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a laundry closet, a kitchen and living space above a three-car garage. Easily scaled up or down thanks to its simple rectangular footprint, you can use it as a weekender retreat or an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on your primary property as extra space for guests, hobbies and/or work.

Can my floor plan make the most of a single story?

The Riverview
The Riverview proves just how creative and contemporary log “cabin” design can be — even within a single story. Each area flows organically to the next, and a double-story entry and abundant windows topped by 13-foot ceilings in the great room ensure natural light reaches every space just as easily. With no need for stairs and an efficient, easy-to-navigate footprint, this plan is prime for aging in place.

Can my floor plan channel historic cabin design?

If you look closely, you can see the footprint of dog-trot-style homes from days gone by: the primary suite is sequestered to one side, the kitchen and dining room are tucked away on the other, and the entry unfolds into an open space that runs clear to the back. However, a spacious kitchen, convenient pass-through laundry room and flexible space upstairs give this layout modern sensibility.

Can my floor plan make room for multipurpose space?

With all the necessities for single-level living corralled on the first floor, this plan is undeniably practical. But with a generous square footage, abundant porches, flexible loft space and large entertaining spaces, it’s certainly not spartan. Over the garage, a blank canvas of a studio space awaits your customization — perhaps a guest suite, office or workshop is in order?

Can my floor plan host a crowd?

Perfect for sloped sites, The Sunapee boasts a sprawling lower level with four bedrooms (all with access to outdoor space), two bathrooms, as well as a bar and game room anchored by a fireplace. Upstairs, three more fireplaces make for lodge-like ambiance in the primary suite, open great room and screened porch. Here, there’s more than enough room for everyone, and the great outdoors are always mere steps away.
