PDF vs CAD Explained
We offer house plans in two formats: PDF (easiest and fastest—email delivery, easy printing and viewing) or CAD (DWG files for extensive modifications, requires CAD software). Both formats include a Copyright Release allowing you to modify the plans and make copies to build one house. Building the same plan more than once requires a separate re-use license—contact us for details.

Otter Cove is a rustic cottage house plan that brings family and guests together while giving them room to settle in. A main-floor bedroom and two upstairs bedrooms make this three-bedroom cabin a comfortable choice for shared weekends or everyday living. Twin dormers, a stone chimney and sheltered porches give the illustrated exterior its woodland character.
The vaulted family room centers on a fireplace and opens to the dining area. A kitchen peninsula / eating bar keeps conversation close while meals are prepared. The covered front porch and vaulted screened porch extend the gathering space outdoors, with a separate side entrance leading through the mud room and first-floor laundry.
Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bathroom, while the landing overlooks the family room below. The main floor has another full bathroom. With 1,025 square feet on the main floor and 511 upstairs, this small home provides 1,536 square feet of finished living area. A crawl space foundation comes standard.
