Plan Description

Detached Guest House Plan or Tiny House with Photos

Guest House Plan 73931 is a detached tiny house plan with 384 square feet of living space. Homeowners will love this simple design because it's attractive and functional. Occupants will love this small cottage plan because it's private and separate from the main house. With one bedroom and one bathroom, this design can be classified as an Airbnb property, guest house plan, vacation cabin plan, or mother-in-law cottage plan.

One Bed, One Bath Guest House Plan

This small and compact cottage has everything you need in a tiny home with no wasted space. Firstly, the bedroom measures 9'4 wide by 7'6 deep which allows for one large bed or several bunks depending on how you plan to use the home. Secondly, notice the sliding door which functions to close the bathroom or to conceal the closet; it's a space-saver. Thirdly, the bathroom has a small shower instead of a standard tub / shower combination.

The living room in Guest House Plan 73931 is open to the kitchen, and the dimensions are 15' wide by 12'8 deep. We love to share photos from new construction because now you have a visual of the cozy interior. The kitchen has white lower cabinets, thick concrete counter top, open shelves, and subway tile backsplash. Choose soft gray carpet, and paint the walls white to reflect the sunlight which streams inside through several windows.

For added convenience, the pantry is large enough for both storage and a stacked washer and dryer. Plus, there is a coat closet in the living area and a second closet in the bedroom entryway.

Tiny Home Plan = Investment Property

Guest House Plan 73931 has an attractive and simple exterior. We love the white siding and metal roof, but the colors and roof materials can be easily changed to match your existing home. Depending on the size of your existing property, you can build this cottage plan close to your home or give it more distance.

For example, if you are building a guest house, you may want to build close to the main house. Your guests will feel included in your activities, and they will enjoy privacy when it's time to retire for the evening. In addition, when used for an in-law home, elderly parents may need constant monitoring. In that case, it's best to build this structure very close to the main home.

If you're in the market for a separate office building, Airbnb floor plan, or small rental cottage, plan 73931 will allow for that needed separation from the main house. In these examples, your new tiny home will pay for itself as an investment property.

Guest House Plan 73931 is one of our most popular tiny house plan designs.

Q & A

Ask the Designer any question you may have. NOTE: If you have a plan modification question, please click on the Plan Modifications tab above.

Previous Q & A

Q: What kind of roof does it have? Does it have ceiling joist, rafter ties, collar tie? Open ceiling?

A: Plans call for a vaulted ceiling. Stick frame.

Q: In the picture it looks like there is a loft but I don’t see one on the plan.

A: There is space for a small loft in the plan but it is really just glorified storage.

Q: Is the wall type 2x4 or 2x6?

A: 2x6

Q: Do you a picture of the loft?

A: No we don’t, sorry.

Q: Do you know the dimensions of the loft?

A: It’s approximately 8’ wide by 9’-6”

Q: I have a shed my Dad built this exact size. How detailed are the plans for this one? Does it include all measurements? Do you have any more pictures of this house or a link to the home site. It looks like a rental. Just starting out with this project. Thank you

A: Typical builders set. Measurements are included. No additional pics.

Q: Does this house plan come in any other versions-like a 20 feet wide vs. 16 feet wide, etc? It would be a good plan if it had a functional bedroom. The bedroom is too small. Maybe the designer has another version of this plan?

A: This is the only version.

Q: I think we have settled on this plan for our cabin. I do have a very simple question, though. We want to utilize the loft area for a guest bed so can you tell me the height of the inside roof peak so we can get a feel for the amount of usable space in the area above the bedroom, bathroom? Thank you.

A: It’s 5’-0”

Q: Before purchasing your plan, which I really like, I'd like to get a sense of the room in the sleeping loft. Since the plan is listed as 16x24 but the dimension on the drawing for the Liv/Kit is 15', I suppose you deduct a foot for both walls. That would mean the loft is 15'x 10' or so. Please correct me if I am incorrect. The way you've drsigned it, what is the inside roof peak? Also, I've assumed 8' walls. If we wanted, could we increase the pitch to get more loft space? Sorry for all the questions.

A: Keep in mind that the loft is not legal sleeping space. Some code officials can get a little quirky over them. It is called out and labeled as storage on the plans. The outer wall height is 9’ The space up there is just big enough for a mattress on the floor. It works very well for what it is.

Q: In the photos posted, there is a rail above the bedroom/bathroom ceiling. Is that vaulted area easily configured as a sleeping loft?

A: It is a small loft area accessed by a ships ladder.

Q: Do the plans include exterior elevations? Is the electrical schematics included?

A: Yes to both.

Q: Is this house built with open ceiling (in other words, to the roof?) Can it be built more as a studio (without the walls for the bedroom?)

A: It is vaulted (to the ceiling) and the walls could be eliminated.

Q: Do you have any 16 x 32 or 16 x 36 plans with a crawlspace foundation?

A: No we don’t – sorry.

Common Q & A

Q: Can I make modifications to this plan?

A: Yes you can! Please click the "Modifications" tab above to get more information.

Q: What is the estimated price to build this plan?

A: The national average for a house is running right at $125.00 per SF. You can get more detailed information by clicking the Cost-To-Build tab above. Sorry, but we cannot give cost estimates for garage, multifamily or project plans.
