Enjoy a relaxing retreat in our secluded mountaintop getaway. Perched in the Blue Ridge Mountains, overlooking the Piedmont, this peaceful A-Frame cabin provides a break from life that is sure to recharge your batteries. Enjoy the stunning panoramic views from the expansive deck, while watching an array of bird life, and possibly visit with our other four footed locals. And don’t forget to follow @a_framed_view and tag your getaway views!

This unique modified A-frame sits approx 2800 ft above sea level and faces back over the Piedmont from SW Virginia.
An electronic door lock means direct access without having to pick up keys. Internet is sufficient for streaming etc and the whole house is heated with baseboard heaters and a wood burning stove.
The main floor with the classic A-frame vaulted ceilings, has a “great room” with a fully equipped kitchen, bar counter with 2 stools, dining table that seats 8 and a cozy living area leading out through sliding doors to the expansive deck with the stunning view.
There is also a separate large living room with plenty of seating, smart tv with Apple TV, a wood burning stove and two recliners poised to take in the view in comfort! Large sliders and glass windows allow one to feel really connected with the outdoors. And for those interested in seeing even further, there is a telescope and binoculars. In the cabinet next to the fireplace, you’ll find games and books as well as candles in case of a power outage.
The master bedroom with a queen bed and some clothing storage is off the kitchen and has a sliding door with access to a private deck & bench. The room has blackout curtains for those who like to sleep in, as well as a wall air conditioner. The full bathroom is en-suite with a generous curved walk in shower and single vanity! A limited selection of sample sized emergency necessities and full size shampoo, conditioner and body wash is provided.
The second floor boasts a spacious and light filled bedroom with a sliding door to a private balcony w/seating. The room also has clothing storage, wall air conditioner, a WC and a vanity. Under the bed is a toddler mattress and sheets are in the chest of drawers. (There is also a fold up toddler bed in the entry closet on the main floor.) Also on the second floor is a loft bedroom with a queen size bed, and a small desk for those who need to work remotely.
The large covered and uncovered deck has plenty of seating and a table for outdoor eating, a gas grill and firewood for the cold months. We love the fact that we are on the side of the mountain and benefit from the views but also have enough grassed area in front of the home to have a picnic, play frisbee or start your day practicing yoga with the sunrise!
