If you’re looking for something just a bit smaller than the Sno cabin we showed you earlier, the Kyka cottage might be just what you want!
The Kyka has a nice open layout, with the living room and kitchen in one “Great Room” and then a bathroom and master bedroom adjacent to it. There is a loft, but it’s for guests so you don’t have to climb up there every night!
Perfect for a couple, “granny pad” or even an Airbnb property — you can buy the plans here!

This looks very livable, storage in bedroom and bathroom could be added – the loft could be multi use, a dormer would make it even better.
Just a note, but there’s a closet in the bedroom shown in the plans…
James… you’ve done it again. I totally overlooked the closet. Go to the top of the class. : )
I like this layout.
This is a nice layout!
Glad you like it, Jade! Thanks!
Love the down stairs lay out, would use the loft for storage honestly. I would also have to get a bigger fridge, being out in the country you would have to have a place to store food when the weather got bad.
I like this one very much! Spacious and efficient while making sure there is plenty of light and vistas to make it beautiful. Of course, we would all add our own personal touches to make it feel more like home. I would make one change to the floor plan. I would eliminate that small entrance door and use the slider by the kitchen as my entry, making that corner more useful and eliminating that awkward wall with looks like might be an eating bar…no photos of that wall but it shows up in the floor plan. That makes room in that corner for a nice big sectional sofa and still have room for a couple of easy chairs…maybe some short bookcases under that big window where the sofa is in this plan. You could put an awning over the slider to protect you from the elements while you open the door with your key. Heck, just put a patio cover over the deck and make it more cozy for entertaining even if it rains. Just my two cents worth. Even without my change, it is a very nice small house that would be easy to live in! Kudos to the designers!
