The cottage house gained popularity back in the 1800s. However, the design remains popular because cottage house plans maintain space for individuality. In addition to being cozy in nature, designers believe the cottage style yields “a beautiful house [that] fully reflects a fine character.”

The clear advantage of buying a cottage is the price tag. Outside of the main urban areas, property prices are far lower and you’re sure to get more bang for your buck. So, if you prefer a 3 bedroom lakeside cabin with a hot tub and a view, rather than a tiny condo in the city, cottage living might be for you.

Besides the financial boon, living in a rural area can be far more relaxing in comparison to big city life. Fresh air, open spaces, and fantastic views are a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The more relaxed, cleaner lifestyle is extremely appealing to a lot of cottage owners and if you’re able to work remotely or within a smaller community, this could be an ideal move for you.
