The Transforming a-frame | Hand-Built cabin near Missoula
The Soul of the Cabin
The Transforming A-frame Cabin is our most interactive sanctuary. This cabin is designed for those who want to live simply and feel hugged by the Montana forest. The soul of this space is the manual, rope-operated wall—a "human-powered" feature that allows you to physically open your room to the deep quiet of the 100-acre forest.
The Details
The Views: 360-degree hug by the forest.
The Rest: Two cozy single beds that can be kept separate or pushed together for a shared experience.
The Essentials: Off-grid and quiet. Includes a small coffee/tea stove, a curated library, and solar power for your basics.
Climate: Real & Rustic. When the wall is open, the mountain air is part of the room. We recommend bringing a warm layer for evening stargazing.
The Build: This famous A-frame was a labor of love, built by hand in just three weeks. Watch the story of how it came to life.
What’s Included With Every Stay
While every cabin has its own soul, all our guests enjoy access to the shared amenities and rituals that make the Hohnstead home.
The Commons Area: 24/7 access to a full kitchen, lounge, Wi-Fi, and charging stations.
The Hot Tub: An intimate 2-seater shared hot tub for evening soaks under the Montana stars.
The Land & Rituals: 100 forested acres for hiking and finding stillness. If you feel like moving, we provide the gear for:
Traditional Archery: Practice stillness and focus with this old-school, host-led hobby.
Wood Splitting: The Montana “Gym” is a way to vent your frustrations physically, also led by hosts and available upon request.
The Basics: Solar showers, designated parking, and pet-friendly hospitality.
