This A-frame cabin is the perfect backroad hideaway

The cozy A-frame sits on a private road that is at least two hours away from San Francisco, the nearest major city. Surrounded by tall redwoods, it is the ultimate place to unplug, unwind, and completely disconnect.

A dark, relaxing loft space creates a dreamy bedroom in a tiny package. The space remains rustic and simple with shelving incorporated into the wall, minimal furnishings, and crisp, white linens. Not just for sleeping, a simple centre window and well-placed overhead lighting provide great upper-deck space for a little relaxation.

The cottage is small, but the use of natural light and space-saving techniques—like this rustic bookshelf designed to fit under the stairs—help the main floor feel anything but cramped. A simple and well-designed interior palate of whites, creams, and natural wood make the open-concept space inviting and not overly busy.

The A-frame is outfitted with eclectic rugs, rustic exposed shelving (complete with vintage knickknacks), a wood stove, and a record player. But you won't find a TV, microwave, or even a microwave here.

An adorable but small kitchen at the back is one of the best features of the cottage. A magnetic strip for knives and hanging cookware are great space-saving additions, while mixed rustic woods and a wall of windows keep the space airy, open, and ideal for sipping your morning brew.
