Let Cozy Cottage & Cabin Designs allow you to escape to that special place; the perfect small home placed in your favorite setting. Whether high atop a mountain, nestled along a lake shore, or situated on a sandy beach, all of the dwellings in this book are small homes designed for efficiency with each and every one having 1,200 total square feet or less of living area. Browse the floor plans, and find the ideal home that embraces everything you need for a comfortable and tranquil haven.

The sound of waves crashing in the distance, or the gentle rustle of fall leaves making their way to the ground. Whichever sight or sound beckons you to take time away from your everyday life and discover a life less stressed, seek that special place. Most people can immediately picture the perfect setting that soothes their soul and takes them to a place where they instantly feel more at peace. But, besides the outdoor setting for the perfect getaway home, what features make it a great vacation getaway?

Expansive decks that surround an entire home like the one shown to the right and below, provide easy access outdoors from any room. This allows homeowners to feel unified with their surroundings, which is almost always the main attraction in these special getaways.

Also, the use of stone and dark wood trim creates a feeling of rustic charm. Warm and cozy, guests will never want to leave their surroundings when decorated with these details. Or, build a stone fireplace that adorns the main living space. Not only will it be beautiful, but it can provide an alternative heat source that will be sure to draw people in.

Large dormer and picture windows make taking in views easy. Large windows offer a classic, alpine retreat compelling views, while still making the home feel like a private oasis tucked high in the mountains.

A covered deck, like the one shown to the right below, is a great outdoor retreat. Perfect for alfresco meals, it allows outdoor enjoyment without the intensity of direct sunlight, making it perfect for sunbelt regions, beach, or coastal homes with tropical temperatures practically all year-round.

Well-lit bedrooms with oversized windows not only permit sunlight, but help stir beach front breezes into interior spaces. With the use of beach accents, a bedroom like the one below is a cheerful, sunny retreat.

Many of these characteristics allow the natural beauty that surrounds your vacation home to shine.

Whether its a cozy stone fireplace, a shaded covered deck, or a breezy beachside bedroom, these features will take your vacation home to a new level of relaxation and tranquility and lure you back time and time again.
