Architectural Style
Guest house plansA lean-to with no loftMost shed-roofed cabins put a loft under the high side. This one does not, and that is the point of it. Everything is on one floor, so guests are not sent up a ladder, and the tall side of the roof simply gives the living space a ceiling that rises to twelve feet six rather than a mezzanine.
Living Space
For a guest house that matters. Visitors are often the people least able to manage a loft, and a single-level building removes the question entirely.
Based on national averages: $120,000 - $160,000
