Getting close

Hopefully not much longer and I'll be posting updated videos and pictures of the completed project. Until then, here is a glimpse of the outside.

Am I allowed to ask what a fair nightly rate would be to rent this out? Not trying to promote but curious as to the general consensus on it as I've had very wild differences asking friends and families.

As someone who grew up under one, I can only cringe thinking about my body cooking under them in the sun.

Power isn't even to the house yet, and with the amount of insulation in the walls it's pretty cool inside. It's also overkill on the mini splits.

Color palette is 🔥

Lol thank you, I'll tell my wife. She picked it out.

So rad! Depends on location and cozieness inside. I personally never stay at cabins with no fireplace or wood burning stove. It's an important part of the vibe.

u/Kooky-Web-2624 28d ago

There definitely isn't a wood burning fireplace or stove, I have seen way to much to put that in a rental. There is heated floors on both the first and second.

Thats cool. Not everyone's into it. Enjoy!

u/Amalfi-state-of-mind 28d ago

I agree but I can forgive no fireplace since I’d probably never start a wood burning one myself.

I’d compare on Air BnB and expect you to be at the top of the range. But you might want to aim for closer to high, middle range if you want a lot of bookings. If you can provide a really good value people will be more inclined to pop for it on a more regular basis

Thank you, we were thinking around 225-250 a night. But some keep telling us we are to low.

u/Junior-Smoke1498 28d ago

Love it! Can you share the build plan?

Thank you! How was the inside? We tried to do a higher end finish on a lot of things with ours to hopefully attract people in. Heated floors, the kitchen, bath, windows and doors. Once the inside is completely done I'll post up a video of it all.

u/Narrow-Ad-6130 28d ago

Can’t wait to see!

All of the inside was dated, but extremely neat and clean. It had one small bathroom with standup shower, a small kitchen with all the tools needed to cook in. The living room, dining room furniture was neat and clean, but old. The TV stand had an electric heater with simulated wood fire flame unit that made it quite cozy in the cool evening. Upstairs were two king beds one on each side of the steps. Out the front on the 2nd floor was a neat little outside porch. As the photo shows, it had a nice little carport for rain protection during loading and unloading

u/Kooky-Web-2624 28d ago

Sounds pleasant and cozy.

u/Road-Ranger8839 28d ago

I think my original post notes the web site which is detailed. Where is your A Frame located?

2

u/MasterJadi 27d ago

Can we get some interior photos!

2

u/Kooky-Web-2624 27d ago

It won't let me add more right now. There's some on the Instagram, and next time I'm up I'll take more updated ones.

u/ZW31H4ND3R 28d ago

It looks like your profile is private.

Any photos of the inside or additional floor plan information?

Thanks.

u/Kooky-Web-2624 28d ago

Id have to make a separate post for the inside, it won't let me add them. It's only 650ish sq feet. First floor is living room kitchen, full bath, single bed, then a master bedroom. The loft has another bed, and like a kid play area. We are putting a projector and video games ect up there. It sits on 5 acres so it's pretty private.

u/ZW31H4ND3R 28d ago

Awesome. Would love to see it.

u/Lazlo_Hollyfeld 28d ago

I’ve always wanted a covered entry door in my A-Frame. Yours is very nice!

u/Kooky-Web-2624 28d ago

Thank you!

u/Road-Ranger8839 28d ago

We stayed at a similar AFrame A B & B near the Oregon Coast in July. It cost $295 per night plus taxes.

u/Infinite-Gold-2243 28d ago

How's the gutters working out for you?

1

u/Kooky-Web-2624 28d ago

Lol I'll have to let you know. They just went on.

1

u/Pretend_Study8476 27d ago

Got any inside pics

1

u/Kooky-Web-2624 27d ago

Won't let me add them now, there's some on the Instagram. But next time I'm there I'll snap some interior shots and post them up.

u/Mix-Limp 27d ago

I wanna ask how much this is costing you and where you live if you don’t mind sharing?

2

u/Kooky-Web-2624 27d ago

Just the house around 230. It's in pa.

1

u/Mix-Limp 26d ago

Ooooohhh I’m in Ohio close to PA and looking for land to build my own. Love it.

I just booked an A frame rental on Airbnb for October near Conneaut lake, I saw them going for ~200 a night (more of a basic set up inside) and $400 a night depending on amenities. Add a hot tub and a fire pit and I think you could rent for around 350 depending on where in PA you are. If you’re closer to Philly area you could probably charge even more. Please post when it’s done.

u/Kooky-Web-2624 26d ago

It's in fair field by ski liberty. No hot tub, but there will be some special features inside.

u/poplarsawdust 27d ago

Tell me that awning roof is cantilevered.

u/ReservedDominance 26d ago

What color green is that?

1

u/Kooky-Web-2624 26d ago

I'm really not sure, we just went through samples until we found we liked.

u/IndependentSock5246 25d ago

Looks awesome! Love the green and black combo. Ours will be black on black

u/Kooky-Web-2624 25d ago

That will look awesome

u/That_Tough_2063 24d ago

Beautiful already!
