The Transforming a-frame | Hand-Built cabin near Missoula

A-frame Cabin with a stargazing wall at The Hohnstead Glamping Cabins near Missoula Montana

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 forest and stunning mountain views.

The Details

  • The Views: Incredible mountain and forest views.

  • 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.
