About this property

The Vermont A-Frame Mountain Retreat

The Vermont A-Frame is a dog friendly cabin conveniently located on the edge of the Green Mountain Forest. WFH using our fast WiFi + enjoy nature while doing so!

With room for 4 and plenty of amenities, our charming A-Frame is sure to provide you with the perfect home for your Vermont vacation.

Find us on social media! @thevermontaframe

We are here for you should you have any questions, concerns or requests during your stay. I am just a message or phone call away.

Please keep in mind that you are staying in a house and not a hotel. So if a problem arises, we will act as quickly as possible, but there is no repair/maintenance/cleaning crew available 24/7.

This house is very close to downtown Manchester with many shops and restaurants within a 10 minute drive from the house. This also means that some sound from the road can be heard. Please refer to the aerial photo in our listing to see the proximity of the house to the road.

Guests will have access to the house in its entirety, with the exception of one closet in the downstairs bedroom.

Our relaxing, bohemian 1965 A-Frame offers the best of everything for your Vermont getaway. The A-Frame is a cozy but comfortable 1024 sq. ft. and we've furnished the home with our guests' comfort in mind. There are two bedrooms with a memory foam queen bed in each, a loft with a dedicated workspace and reading nook, and a living area with a queen pull out sofa. A half bath is located in the upstairs master bedroom. The full, recently remodeled bathroom is located downstairs. Please note that while the kitchen is clean, well equipped, and entirely functional, some of the fixtures are original to the 1965 construction of the home. We think it only adds to the charm! Our outdoor space is equipped with a stone fire pit and seating, and you can enjoy a cup of coffee or lunch al fresco on our new outdoor lounge furniture.

Kindly note the aerial photo in our listing showing the location of the A-Frame and the proximity to the main road as some road noise can be heard from the cabin.

To ensure our cleaners get the R+R they deserve we do not permit check ins on Sundays. We also believe a long weekend allows our guests to make the most of their time in southern VT.

Please be sure to review the house rules prior to booking. The A-Frame has been designed with relaxation in mind, so parties are prohibited. Please also note the details of our pet policy, which is further explained in our house rules.

Although the A-Frame is directly off a well maintained main road, we still recommend a vehicle with 4-wheel or all-wheel drive during the winter months.

Being that we are in a National Forest, cell phone reception is spotty at the A-Frame. WiFi is provided for our guests and we can happily explain to you on booking how to enable WiFi calling to ensure phone functionality at the house.

While there are nearby neighbors, the A-Frame is still very much the quintessential "cabin in the woods", so please be mindful of wildlife such as raccoons, insects, rodents, bear and deer.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great kick off to Autumn

This was the perfect cabin to set up base for exploring the area on my New England road trip. Its vintage charm with modern upgrades set the mood perfectly to kick off October! It’s slightly off the main road, but the cabin is tucked away enough that I didn’t even notice. Great location for the local tourist attractions!

Cutest A-Frame Ever

We were in town for a horse show so didn't get to enjoy the house to its fullest because of long days out. It was simply the cutest house ever inside and out. It had everything we needed and was spotless. Everything was simple and efficient. Host even checked in to make sure everything was good.

Comfortable accommodations and great location for a ski vacation at Stratton.

We stayed 3 nights in this very charming house. Beds were very comfortable , the location is very close to Manchester, and the back of the house overlooks a beautiful forest and stream. My young kids loved the "A" and cozy loft space. We had a very nice stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming property. The location couldn't have been more convenient to Manchester/Bromley. We appreciated all of the thoughtful details that the hosts put into this home, including for our pup. We had zero complaints and hope to be back!

Southern Vermont Getaway

We had a short getaway to Southern VT and this area was perfect. Easy to get to and just outside of Manchester, there was plenty to do and see including hikes, quaint towns, and scenic vistas. The homeowners have put alot of thought into this adorable cottage and were absolutely wonderful to communicate with. We want to thank them for sharing their home!

Peaceful

We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the house. It was also extremely cozy for watching tv/relaxing at night. Our plan was to hike in the Green Mountain National Forest, and we could not have chosen a place any more convenient. It was right in the heart of the forest. Although there was some traffic outside, we could not hear much of it inside. My one issue was that the majority of the windows do not open. That was difficult as some nights were warm. The upstairs AC did not cool off the downstairs bedroom. All in all, the place was great and I would stay there again. The host was very accommodating with all of my questions.

Better then the pictures

This is my 1st vrbo experience & it set the expectations high for others down the line. The quaintness of the property itself combined w/ the added touches from the hosts went above & beyond everyones expectations. I went with my sister & cousin (43-49yo) and they also felt the same. The hosts were very quick to respond and check in. The spot was close to downtown Manchester shops & great restaurants in the area too!!! I would recommend this rental to anyone!!!

Still vibey

The lingo is bound to change eventually, but my teenaged daughters and I returned this year for two weeks and they report that the A-Frame is still vibey. We loved the renovated bathroom and shower. Monique and Jason are very considerate hosts, and the house is well-stocked with small extras like toilet paper and fresh coffee. We discovered many new hikes, the Hapgood General Store in Peru, and the Northshire Bookstore. Over two weeks, the only thing we missed was a washer/dryer, but the laundromat in Manchester is just down the road and very efficient and tidy.

Close to lots of Southern VT charm

This property is very conveniently located to be just a short drive to all that southern VT has to offer. We really enjoyed using the A-Frame as our hub. The property too has a lot to offer. Beds were comfortable, main bathroom is recently renovated so that was very comfortable. Record player is a nice touch to go along with the wood burning stove. There is also an outdoor fire pit and plenty of firewood to get you though your stay. Communication with the host was great and always quick with solid suggestions.

Monique and Jason are the sweetest hosts you'll ever find! They would always respond quickly and made sure we had everything we needed, including amazing recommendations for local places to eat. The A-frame is such a lovely home and the perfect place for our winter get-a-way. The house has everything you could want, from a cozy wood burner to plenty of vinyls and activities. Whether we were out exploring the town or having a chill day in, we were always having a great time!

Awesome! Super Considerate Hosts!

The place was just as advertised. Super cute, cozy, mini nice touches and amenities. Another review said “Vibey”, And my teenager agreed! When bad weather was predicted we ended up having to leave a day early, and the hosts were amazingly considerate! Would totally stay there again and recommend it highly!

"Vibey"

My teenaged daughters immediately pronounced the A-Frame "vibey," which to them means "a pleasant feeling, moment, memory, mood." They loved the comfortable couch and the working turntable and assortment of records. I appreciated the many thoughtful touches throughout (extra cleaning supplies, condiments and coffee in the kitchen, extra toilet paper). And with those teenaged-girls, I was especially grateful for a working kitchen with everything I needed to make dinners and pack lunches. The property is close to both Manchester and the other side of the mountain which has working Vermont farms and great local food and produce. Monique is responsive and kind.

Great getaway

The A- frame is beautifully styled and unique. The home was very clean and fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Our family had a blast at the Bromley Adventure Park and enjoyed Hapgood Pond. The home is directly off the main road which is noted in the description. We enjoyed this convenience, but may have liked a slightly more hidden location. The owner was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. Great home in a beautiful setting!

Loved the house, it felt old in a good way but with all the modern amenities. My family stayed there and sent the kids to day camp at nearby Camp Wa Wa Segowea during the day and us parents just hung out! Stayed with a couple of other families who also sent their kids to camp. It was a pleasure!

About the host

Hosted by Monique

Host profile image
I’m Monique, that’s Jason, and that’s our fur child Snowball in the window. We’re the hosts behind The Vermont A-Frame!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jason cleans up nicely for work, but is a true outdoorsman at heart. If it involves fresh air, he’s there. He once backpacked through New Zealand with his best friend! Jason has been traveling to Vermont since he was a small child and always dreamed of owning a house there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I, on the other hand, grew up taking dance lessons and visiting Disney World. My favorite book was about the solar system, and my favorite toy was a microscope. I always felt like a square peg in a round hole, but couldn’t put my finger on why. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized how important having a connection to nature was to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jason and I have been sending each other real estate listings and daydreaming about a life outside our 9 to 5’s ever since we got together. One evening in 2018, after being laid off and facing an existential crisis much too early, I started crunching the numbers. We quickly realized that we could make our dream of owning an escape in the mountains a reality. Fast forward two months and we were signing the closing papers on our first home together!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sharing the A-frame with our guests has always been much more than just a way to offset the cost of owning a vacation home. We’re passionate about making our guests feel the same sensation we do whenever we cross the Vermont state line. The A-Frame is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature and ourselves. Hosting has been a wonderful adventure, and we thank you for allowing us to share our special place with you. ❥
