A-frame cabin
Peaked roof shelter
An A-frame cabin is a small house with a steeply pitched roof that extends nearly to the ground, forming a triangular shape like the letter A.
The design became popular for vacation homes in the mid-20th century, especially in wooded or mountainous settings: They rented an A-frame cabin by the lake.
The steep roof sheds snow efficiently, making A-frames common in ski country.
