We’ve had a great summer. Didn’t we? Perhaps it’s not that hard to say goodbye to it because when you figure out what fall offers you’ll be nothing but captivating. Fresh air, golden leaves, and perfect plans like a weekend getaway at an A-frame cabin. Ahh… Sounds perfect! With each fall, it’s more and more apparent why such a cosy house design is so popular. You are immersed in nature with equilateral triangle ceilings, soaring windows, wood panelling, and lofted bedrooms. A-frame cabins are a great way to experience autumn, no matter where you are. Isn’t this a Mid-century aesthetic? After all, Instagram is buzzing with that, ‘aesthetics. Isn’t it?
And if we’re about to tell you that there is exactly such a cabin in Dharamshala that delivers the same experience, you’ll be amazed! Yes, you will. Previously famous between 1950 and 1975, the A-frame is on a serious comeback.
We are enamoured with a triangular shape, which looks so photogenic against any backdrop or the general design’s simplicity. There is a sense of nostalgia and modernity associated with A-frames today. These Cabins have been popular in foreign countries for a long time. However, the times are changing, and people are also beginning to build such Cabins in India.
It’s no coincidence that popular Instagram accounts featuring cabins and outdoor lifestyles often share photos of A-frames more than other cabins and houses probably because there are more heart-eyes on A-frames.
What Cabin Stay?
Shady trees envelop the rustic A-frame tiny house/cabin in Dharamshala, which is yet unknown to many. Beautiful places should remain hidden, isn’t it what they say?
With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, The Cabin Dharamshala epitomizes casual luxury. As you open this huge black gate, you’ll see a specified rock path decorated with plants directly to the main entrance of the Cabin. As you enter the Cabin, you’ll see a staircase going straight up to the second floor, besides there’s a kitchen (underneath the loft) stocked with all of the basics, a fireplace (perfect for enjoying those cosy nights) with a sitting area with cute little chairs (to relax and chill). During your stay, you can whip up something in their kitchen or even try something special from their menu.
The loft area is home to a nicely decorated double-sized bed with glass ceilings just above the bed. Imagine sleeping there when it rains or when the sky is clear. It’s unmatchable, believe us!! The building has a door that leads to a terrace where a swing sits amid fallen leaves from a neighbouring tree. It looks stunning and will undoubtedly make you want to whip out your cameras to click Instagramable pictures. They’re to die for! The other two rooms with attached washrooms are on the main floor with minimal decor, which looks elegant. The bedrooms are peppered with one wall made with slates and have a large front porch for evening aperitivo hour. Bonus, it’s pet-friendly with a super cute furry paw Cadbury. He’s super cute.
Moreover, this A-frame home is well-lit most of the day thanks to the correct placement of the windows, making the home feel light and cheerful.
Now if you take your eyes off the cabin, there are other things that will keep you hooked. A swimming pool, where you can swim whenever you want, is open 24/7, and there is a cute kitchen garden, where they grow fruits and vegetables. Pool is right next to the cabin, with plenty of space to spread out, and a pool bar will be added soon. Isn’t that exciting? Furthermore, they’re expanding to other things; soon, you’ll be able to enjoy a jacuzzi and a massage room.

It was in 2019 when he decided to open this beloved triangle.
“Working on this project was quite challenging, especially when it comes to making the angle of the roof, of course, but yes, good things take time, as they say. And the helpers I hired never had made such a thing before. We were committed to making this Cabin, and we were enjoying the process, and once it was done, I decided to run it to see what happens,” Lakshit says. “All of a sudden, it was booked solid.” In the end, I feel satisfied looking at the Cabin from outside. Nothing compares to the feeling of satisfaction with the result of your work!
He also added, my place is a much less explored destination and, in my opinion, that is a good thing, because some places are targeted at a specific audience.
The Cabin Dharamshala not only turns heads but affords its habitants the connection to nature we all crave. A-frames are incredibly adaptable and offer a closeness to nature and a simplistic style that isn’t easily matched by other construction types. Doesn’t it sound worth travelling? We certainly think so, and if this Cabin ticks off all the proper checkboxes in your travel checklist, too, you must book a stay here!
Celebrate life, relax and enjoy!
