A few kind words from past guests:
" Emily was an amazing host! The A-frame is everything. My family and I enjoyed our peaceful stay. We played games, we enjoyed the fire pit, and bonded for the weekend! This space is very clean and the host is super responsive. Thank you so much for hosting us!" ~ Jay
"Very cute and cozy A frame airbnb! It was our first family ski trip. This was the perfect place to sit back and relax. Emily was extremely helpful and provided all instructions prior to arrival. We hope to return soon!" ~ Iris
"Our quick family getaway was amazing and peaceful. We loved the hot tub and fireplaces. We were snuggled in tight when it was raining, and so close to waterfalls and hikes when the rain passed. The slightly separate living spaces allowed grandma to escape the children being children. We will be back for a fall stay. We just have to see this place with the foliage in full color!" ~ Anna
/\ A-Frame Amenities: 3 bedrooms, 2 full / one half baths, spread out across 3 floors with loft and walkout basement. There is a bedroom and bathroom on each floor to offer privacy to those traveling as a crew. Please note that we provide departure trash removal, unlike many area rentals, as well as hot tub service after every stay and these are included in the cleaning fee.
A 1970 original, the A-Frame was re-mixed in August of 2019. We opted to infuse the cabin with a modern feel while preserving the retro vibes and 70's era quirks. App A-Frame is a vintage home that we hope invokes the feeling of an heirloom inherited from loving grandparents. We intentionally did not gut and renovate the entire home in an effort to maintain some of the original charm. If a super modern, newly built A is what you are looking for we probably aren't for you and that's ok!
