Simply stunning
A-Frame Cabin Plan 117-914 - Front Exterior
If epic curb appeal sounds good to you, check out this small a-frame cabin plan. The design's large windows, spacious front porch, and a private upper-level porch (see Bedroom 2) make it perfect for a view lot. What's more, its simple 32' wide and 40' deep footprint make it equally ideal for a small lot. Inside, note the two bedrooms and two baths, the open-concept main living area, the kitchen peninsula, and the loft, which could be used as a home office or secondary living space.

Inside and out, this woodsy cabin house plan feels cozy and relaxed. Large windows offer scenic views (and bring the outdoors in), while the main living areas open to one another for easy flow. You’ll find a bedroom and a bathroom on the main level and a large master suite on the second. Other highlights we love: the handy mudroom and the loft area upstairs (explore these mudroom ideas from Good Housekeeping).
