Hi Phil,

I don’t think the fire tower cabin plans are available for sale, but you could email the architect… who knows.

There are many places that sell cabin plans… I’ve got a good list of links on the website under plans.

This design might work nice at my Southern Lake Champlain as I look to replace existing wooden cottages that get wet about every 3 years… when water gets high on much of the waterfront.

If you like this concept, some of the original Forest Service blueprints are available in pdf format for more inspiration. Go here:

There’s also a company somewhere that sells old lookout and lookout cabin plans; there were quite a few different versions. Though as the disclaimer at the above site states, they may not meet current structural codes.
