A-frame house plans are all about awesome curb appeal and outdoor living. They tend to feel most at home on rustic wilderness lots, preferably one that offers a view of something special (A-frame homes typically boast tons of windows, in addition to cool outdoor perks, like spacious decks). A true A-frame design features a roof that extends all the way to the ground, creating the look of an "A." Below you'll discover six three-bedroom A-frame plans, most of which feature a more subtle variation of the roof (but still evoke the look and feel of a classic A-frame cabin).
1. Woodsy Vibes
