Vacation & Short-Term Rental House Plans

Vacation and short-term rental house plans built for real guests and real upkeep, from lake houses to mountain cabins. Each plan includes a full PDF drawing set plus a material list to build from.

About our Vacation & Short-Term Rental House Plans

Lake house, mountain cabin, or a short-term rental that needs to earn its keep: our vacation and short-term rental house plans are designed with real guests and real upkeep in mind. You will find open living areas, durable finishes, and layouts that work whether the home sits empty most of the year or turns over every weekend.

This collection spans cabins, cottages, farmhouses, and barndominium styles in a wide range of sizes, many with a porch for outdoor living and a few designed for sloped or mountain lots. Every plan includes a full PDF drawing set plus a material list, so you can price the build with a local contractor before you buy.

Most vacation home builds in this collection run between $130 and $220 per heated square foot, so a 1,200 square foot cabin typically costs $156,000 to $264,000 before land, permits, and site work.

Are these plans ready for permits?

Our plans include the detail a professional builder needs. Local building departments sometimes require extra documents such as a site plan, energy forms, or an engineer's stamp. Check with your local office before you start.

What files do I get?

Every purchase is an instant download containing print-ready PDFs and editable CAD files, plus dimensioned floor plans, elevations, and a foundation plan.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Yes, our modification service customizes any plan in the store. Move a wall, add a garage bay, change the roofline, or adjust the layout.
