Default cottage packages

I'm looking to build a cottage at a lake lot. Looking for something that is loft-style, with roughly 750 sq. ft of total floor area, suitable for use on a skid or post and beam foundation, and preferably available as either a kit or somewhat pre-assembled. I've found a couple of sources for cottage kits, but none yet that are ideal. I'd like to hear from others who've gone down this road themselves, and who might have advice and some suggestions about what to buy and who from.

my 'financial planner' and I like these styles, there is a lindal sample house in edmonton on the yellowhead.
we went to the lindal show home in saskatoon is exactly what you are describing.
very economical to build.

Here are a few links I've been looking at.

http://www.bavariancottages.com/cottages.htm
http://www.wildernesscabin.com/index1.htm
http://www.pinecottages.ca/fairmont.html

Someday soon I'll have to rebuild my cabin. I'm thinking of just buying a large garage package with 16' walls for a loft.

Thanks for that. I'd not heard of a couple of those builders. One manufacturer that I just noticed yesterday is Timber Block. Interesting design concept, with stacked log walls using composite materials (wood & rigid foam). I'm going to find out more. Any time I see adjectives like "innovative" and "revolutionary" I expect "expensive" is next, so we'll see.

I've used Bavarian Cottages for 3 small structures - a pump house, a motorcycle shed, and a bunkie. My bunkie is shown as 'The Moyie' on their web-page photos - at the link in Nomad's post.

PM me if you have any specific questions on them.
