The Saginaw is designed for those who feel most at home outdoors. Whether your ideal day ends after skiing fresh powder, paddling across a quiet lake, or exploring wooded trails, this cottage offers a welcoming place to return—where the boundaries between indoor comfort and the surrounding landscape feel intentionally blurred. Its generous wraparound deck and covered porch extend the living experience well beyond the walls of the home, encouraging you to slow down and enjoy the setting.
Inside, the open main level keeps daily living simple and connected, while the loft adds flexibility for guests, hobbies, or a quiet place to unwind. The main-level primary suite supports comfortable single-level living, and the optional lower level provides room to grow over time, making the Saginaw equally suited for weekend escapes, retirement, or a full-time home immersed in nature.
Make the Saginaw Your Own
Every Woodhouse floor plan is designed to inspire—not to limit what's possible. Whether you'd like to expand the outdoor living spaces, add windows to capture a favorite view, adapt the layout for aging in place, or finish the optional walkout basement for additional living or guest accommodations, our in-house design team can customize the Saginaw to fit your vision.
From subtle refinements to fully custom modifications, we'll work with you to create a timber frame home that reflects the way you want to live while preserving the craftsmanship, character, and timeless appeal that define every Woodhouse design.
Cottage Homes Series
These home designs concentrate the most impressive interior exposed beams in the spaces where the most time is spent, like the living room, dining room, and kitchen. In the spaces where wall space is more important than drama, like the bedrooms and bathrooms, we let the structural insulated panels do the work. All of these homes blend exterior materials to allow for endless combinations and personalization depending on the region of the country where you are building your home.
