Lake House Collection
Lake house floor plans seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living with thoughtful designs that maximize water views and create natural gathering spaces. Characterized by large windows, wraparound porches, and open-concept layouts, these architectural plans are specifically crafted to embrace lakefront living while providing practical, all-season functionality.
Most lake house designs feature expansive great rooms that flow into well-appointed kitchens, creating an ideal setup for both family time and entertaining. Primary bedroom suites typically face the water, while strategically placed windows and sliding glass doors frame scenic views throughout. Practical mudrooms, equipment storage, and dedicated spaces for water gear help manage the transition between indoor and outdoor activities.
Modern lake house floor plans incorporate contemporary amenities like indoor-outdoor kitchens, climate-controlled sunrooms, and flexible bonus spaces that can serve as home offices or guest suites. Energy-efficient windows, durable exterior materials, and smart home technology blend seamlessly with traditional lakefront architectural elements like exposed beams, stone fireplaces, and board-and-batten siding.
These versatile homes range from cozy 1,500-square-foot retreats to sprawling 4,000+ square foot year-round residences. Common features include elevated foundations for flood protection, covered boat storage, outdoor showers, and large decks or patios for waterfront entertaining. Walk-out basements provide additional living space while taking advantage of sloped lakefront lots.
Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a permanent waterfront residence, lake house plans prioritize casual comfort and natural light while maintaining practical functionality. Their thoughtful designs create spaces where families can gather, entertain, and fully embrace lakeside living through every season.

Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans come as 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. We do provide options to change the exterior wall type. Those options include 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, CMU Block Construction, etc.
Foundation Types
When de signing our house plans, a default foundation is set for a given plan. If possible, we include options to change the foundation type to better match your construction needs. For instance, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you'll have the option to change the foundation type to a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note: Some of our plans are designed with special foundation needs, such as post and pier for waterfront properties. These plans may not allow an option to choose another foundation type. If you find yourself in need of an alternate foundation and aren't given the choice, please fill out the alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our more popular options is reversing the plan. Ordering the reverse option will not only flip the plan on the sets for you, it will also correct the text to make the plan read correctly while reversed.
CAD Files
All of our plans are offered as digital PDF downloads. If you want to make changes to the plan yourself, there is an add-on option that will give you the CAD files. Our CAD files are exported in AutoCAD format. You must have software capable of opening CAD files to use them. This option is great if you are in the business of home building and need to make slight changes to the plans per lot.
Cost to Build Report
All of our house plans come with a 100% free cost-to-build report. Just find the orange section on the plan page, type in your zip code, and choose your finish quality level. Note that this tool is for estimation purposes only and should not be used in any other way.
