Garlinghouse Cabin Plan 6020 with 576 Sq Ft, 2 Bedrooms and Wraparound Deck
From the legendary Garlinghouse Collection, house plan 6020 is a far out little cabin that's been winning over homeowners for generations. For more than a century, Garlinghouse has created timeless American home designs, and this bestselling cabin proves that sometimes the simplest homes become the most unforgettable. Offering just 576 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and a huge wraparound deck, it's the perfect lake cabin, mountain getaway, hunting camp, vacation retreat, or cozy full-time home for anyone who loves the outdoors.
The coolest feature is the oversized wraparound deck that nearly doubles your living experience by bringing life outdoors. Whether you're grilling after a day on the lake, watching wildlife, sipping coffee at sunrise, or relaxing around the fire, this deck becomes the heart of the home. Built-in wood storage keeps firewood handy for the cozy wood stove inside, making this cabin ready for every season.
Step inside and you'll find an efficient open floor plan centered around a warm wood stove that naturally becomes the gathering place after a day of hiking, boating, fishing, or exploring. Large windows keep the interior bright while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding scenery, making the cabin feel much larger than its compact footprint.
The kitchen is simple, functional, and perfectly positioned with a window overlooking the deck, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors while preparing meals. Its open connection to the living room keeps everyone together whether you're entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet weekend away from the city.
Two comfortable bedrooms provide flexible sleeping space for family, guests, or weekend visitors, while the centrally located full bathroom efficiently serves the entire home. Every square foot has been carefully planned to maximize comfort without unnecessary complexity.
Whether you're building beside a lake, deep in the woods, overlooking the mountains, or creating an affordable vacation getaway, house plan 6020 delivers timeless cabin character in an easy-to-build design that has remained popular for generations.
As one of the enduring classics in the Garlinghouse Collection, house plan 6020 celebrates more than a century of American home design. These timeless cabins continue to stand the test of time because smart planning, lasting architecture, and unforgettable getaway experiences never go out of style. Yesterday, today, and for generations to come, this remains one of the COOLest little cabins you'll ever build.

Q:Are this plan rated for 110 wind zone
A:Yes and no. The design doesn't have to change but it will need gable wall bracing, uplift straps at the trusses, and better tie-downs to the foundation. It will also have to be sheathed with plywood or OSB to provide the wall bracing. These things can be added while under construction by the builder.
