Make the kitchen /gathering area huge.

Make the porch huge.


Everything else just big enough to be functional.

I would go to the class linked below unless Covid has shut them down. I went a while back and built my own place for somewhere around 30 bucks a sqft.

If this is a cabin you plan on keeping for life go bigger....you will not regret it. I've never heard anyone say they wish they went smaller.

I built a 1800 sqft cabin, 30x40 main floor and a loft. 1 bed/bath dwnstair and 1 bed/bath in the loft. It was great for a family of 4....Then what happened? Kids grew up got married and both had 2 kids each. We all like spending xmas and holidays there an it gets a little cramped with extra blow up beds in the way.

Or another option is to build small but build in such a way that bedrooms can be added on easily.

Yes---a loft is easy extra space for cheap.

If you have the financial means and ability. I don't think you would feel negative about being on the larger side. I would say if you do build on the small side have a plan to possible add on and make it simple.
