This charming A-frame offers a comfortable take on cabin-style living, with a spacious single-level interior that’s designed more like a cozy rustic retreat than a typical tiny house.
Designed by Zook Cabins, the A-Frame Retreat is a park model tiny house that’s meant for semi-permanent installation rather than towing around and it must be transported to the site using a single truck. It’s shown fronted by a large deck, which is optional, though really helps maximize available living space.

Its exterior is clad in thermally treated wood and metal, and features classic A-frame cabin styling that looks like it would take its place particularly well in a rural wooded location. It also has a metal roof and generous glazing that helps fill the interior with daylight.
I really like the cabin-like layout in this model, which offers a change from the hallway style arrangement seen in most tiny houses. The front door opens into a great room which occupies most of the home’s 470-sq-ft (43-sq-m) floorspace. It’s finished in painted birch ply, with attractive wooden beams and vinyl flooring.
You’ll notice that the interior walls are configured so that they are straight, instead of the usual sloping walls, as seen in Mini Domy’s Brda, for example. This makes a huge difference for arranging the furniture. The home’s living room is situated next to that large window and consists of a sofa, a coffee table, and an entertainment center with a TV. Behind all this is a dining table for two. Nearby is the sleeping area, which consists of a double bed. An ottoman would be a worthwhile upgrade here to boost storage a little.
The kitchen occupies the wall opposite the sleeping area and reflects the A-Frame Retreat’s intended use as more of a vacation getaway than a full-time home. It has a sink, along with space for a fridge/freezer and a microwave to be installed. Quartz counters and quite a lot of shelving and cabinetry round out the space.

The only interior door in the A-Frame Retreat leads to the bathroom, and this is a real highlight. It looks very spacious for a tiny house and includes a freestanding tub, along with a separate glass-enclosed shower, a toilet, and a vanity sink. There’s also some more storage available.
