Staying in a faraway place is always an adventure. But when you’re privy to hiding out in a home as cozy as an A-Frame, it’s a wildly different experience than, say, staying nestled in your average hut or seeking solace in a standard yurt.

Beloved throughout the 1950s and 1970s for their pyramidal forms and sloping ceilings, these steeply-angled structures have since reclaimed their glory amongst cabin lovers and architecture whizzes alike. Come autumn, their massive windows and decks make them the popular getaway of choice.

As we begin to bookmark all the places we’d like to cuddle up this fall, we can’t help but feel drawn to these pointed pads. From a snowbound woodland escape in the heart of Oregon to a contemporary cabin in the southernmost tip of Patagonia, we scoured Instagram for the most whimsical A-Frames the world has to offer. The best part? You can experience almost all of these majestic stays ahead IRL through Airbnb.

An homage to both geometry and nature, this picturesque Park City spot—dubbed the A-Frame Haus—was built by the owner’s grandfather in 1988 and boasts not just one, but two, balconies for soaking in the surrounding vistas.

Tiny, sustainable, and secluded? Count us in. While this adorable A-Frame in Finland (a space specifically designed to leave a minimal carbon footprint) only boasts enough room for two, the teeny escape might inspire your biggest adventure yet.

Nothing screams autumn quite like crafting s’mores and catching up on a good read by the fire. With enough firewood to last you through the season, we wouldn’t mind hiding out at this whimsical woodland retreat all winter long.

There’s a reason glamping has gained serious traction in the past few years, and we’re starting to think this countryside cabin in Australia has something to do with it.

While Desanka Fasika’s earthy Hollywood Hills might not be in a remote locale, the sun-drenched space encourages you to unwind all the same. Between its natural wood composition and industrial spiral staircase, the artist’s luxe Cali home exudes pure retro ski lodge vibes.

Okay, so this jungle retreat might not spark familiar fall feelings, but we can’t resist that stunning roofline. The beauty of The Triangle Siarango, a one-of-a-kind A-frame house nestled within a lush tropical garden, lies in the repetition of its own basic geometry.
