Almanor A-Frame is a nostalgic mid-century a-frame cabin with a lake and forest view. The a-frame has three levels, with a bedroom on each level and two full bathrooms.
Located on the Lake Almanor Peninsula within the gated community of Lake Almanor Country Club, guests will have full access to all amenities and recreational areas within the country club (please see info below regarding additional $150 country club renter fee) .
THE SPOT:
Built in the 1960s, the 1280 square foot cabin features Scandinavian design wood work, exposed beams, real hardwood floors and nostalgic wood paneling classic to the mid-century era. The a-frame has been recently remodeled top to bottom with guests comfort and safety in mind. A mix of mid-century modern and rustic Scandinavian design gives guests a cozy “hygge” vibe.
The cabin interior
The main floor of the cabin features a bedroom, a full bathroom, the kitchen, dining table and family room with a pellet stove and 55” TV.
Guests will enjoy privacy while sitting on the deck soaking in the views of the trees and lake. The floor to ceiling triangle windows and back deck face east to capture the sunrises and forest views.
The kitchen features an original green vintage stove and newer red SMEG appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the basic spices, oils, cooking ware, utensils and serving ware. Locally roasted ground coffee is provided as well as an assortment of k-cups. Tea, sugar and hot chocolate (seasonal) is provided for non-coffee drinkers.
The main floor bedroom features a queen bed, night stands with USB ports in the back of bedside lamps, a dresser and full size closet.
Head upstairs to the upstairs bedroom with the classic vaulted “A” ceiling. This bedroom has a queen bed, bedside charging station, dresser, pack-n-play and coat rack.
The loft upstairs is perfect for getting cozy with your favorite book, playing a record, practicing yoga or making a drink from the bar. If you need to work during your stay, there’s a desk in the loft and high speed WiFi is provided.
Take the spiral staircase down to the walkout basement where you’ll find another full bathroom, a laundry closet with a full size washer/dryer and three twin beds (one is a pull-out trundle). This lower bedroom was designed with kids in mind to connect with nature. The wallpaper mural features a photograph from local artist Jake Edwards with @scenescapery. There are plenty of books, toys and board games for kids (and adults) of all ages. The back door will take you underneath the deck to our backyard and horseshoe pit.
Please note, the walkout basement is open to the living room via the spiral staircase, so noise may carry from living room down to this bedroom area.
The bathrooms are equipped with plush spa-like towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion for guests. A first aid kit is available in the ceiling cubby above the stairs landing.
The cabin exterior
Enjoy BBQing in front of the quintessential “A” with our provided propane grill. Lounge under the deck and play a round of horse shoes or relax on the hammock. We provide a variety of outdoor games including giant Jenga, connect four and cornhole. Beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys are provided during the summer months.
IMPORTANT:
Guests have full access to the entire cabin and property except for the detached garage.
Our property is not fenced. We ask that guests note the orange flagged property corners and stay within the property line perimeter.
Access to the cabin requires guests to walk down 4-7 steps (solar lights provide lighting at night time). There are two sets of stairs in the house that are both narrow and steep. Two bedrooms and one bathroom in the cabin are only accessible by using either of the stairs.
The spiral staircase down to the lower walkout basement room may be challenging for some guests with mobility issues, especially for small children or elderly.
Part of the charm of an a-frame is the small footprint of the design. Keep in mind our a-frame is 20’ wide and 36’ long, has low ceiling clearance at areas and cannot accommodate large groups of guests.
