Genius Sierra A-frame for Escapists

One tiny house; 20 acres of Sierra wilderness. The architectural ratio of square footage to square acreage in this spot less than 20 miles from Yosemite skews wholly West—house as an extension of its environment. Here, it’s a modern take on an A-frame log cabin (from $250/night), surrounded by Momma Nature’s finest: grassy green meadows, crowd-free swimming holes, and choose-your-own-adventure hiking trails.

Sure, you can camp in the park. But why not abandon the sleep sack for a weekend and embrace indoor plumbing in your own private Yosemite?

Bonus: You can still doze off under the stars, which can be seen from the 16-foot skylights stretching above the sleeping loft.

    I have this modern A-frame on my list of places to stay. We have two young boys and vacation for us means wide open spaces to make noise and be in nature. I think it would also be lovely in the winter.

      It would be gorgeous in winter! Snow outside, fire and cocoa inside…can’t beat that.

    awesome a frame house, nothing like the one I have in phoenix that is surrounded by cacti and flat ranch houses. An a-frame belongs in the woods…. beautiful house though.
