North Coast House on the Sunshine Coast: Modern Cabin Plans with Covered Deck & Lakeside Views
Description
The North Coast House on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast is a striking example of how DEN’s modern cabin plans can be transformed into a one-of-a-kind retreat. Built from the Barnhouse Plus design, this custom home blends the functionality of a short-term rental (STR) business with the warmth of a family getaway. With its covered deck, expansive windows, and lakeside setting, the project shows how thoughtful cabin design creates a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the coastal rainforest landscape.
For Ben and Katie, first-time homebuilders and new STR operators, choosing DEN meant starting with a clear, professional set of plans and a strong design foundation. They discovered that countless DEN reviews from other builders and homeowners echoed the same theme: DEN makes the leap from dream to build approachable. By leveraging a proven design process, the couple avoided common pitfalls and invested with confidence, knowing their project could be completed on time and within budget.
Now complete, the North Coast House demonstrates the versatility of modern cabin plans for real-world use: a lakeside cabin retreat that doubles as a high-ROI rental property. Whether you’re exploring barnhouse plans, considering a modern cabin on the Sunshine Coast BC, or researching DEN reviews before your first build, this story illustrates how design, planning, and execution come together to create a truly unique home.
