Designer A-Frame Treehouse w/hot tub on river

Summary:
Welcome to our newest gem at Uncommon Accommodations—a sleek, modern A-frame treehouse perched above the river! This stylish 1-bedroom retreat features a full kitchen, bathroom, cozy loft sleeping area, indoor fireplace, comfy couch, and string-lit deck for magical evenings. Whether you're sipping coffee riverside or relaxing fireside, it's the perfect blend of comfort and charm. A dreamy escape designed for couples, creatives, or anyone craving nature with a modern touch.

The Space:
Perched among the trees and accessed via a private footbridge, this elevated modern A-frame feels like a true luxury treehouse retreat. Thoughtfully designed by local architect Raymond Boutin and expertly built by craftsman Todd Miller, the space blends contemporary comfort with timeless Vermont style. Inside, you’ll find maple veneer walls, Douglas fir beams, red oak stair treads, and rich Brazilian hardwood floors—all carefully selected to create a warm, refined atmosphere.

The open living area features a sculptural round designer couch, a sleek indoor fireplace, and a full modern kitchen. A striking spiral staircase leads to a cozy loft bedroom nestled under the steep roofline. Step out onto the string-lit deck—suspended above the Lamoille River—for a serene coffee moment or a starlit glass of wine. Every detail, from the materials to the layout, has been crafted to offer a high-end, one-of-a-kind Vermont experience.

Guest Access:
Guests have full private access to the A-frame treehouse via a keypad lock, including the private deck and all indoor amenities. You'll park just steps from the entrance, with an EV charger available on the property. Enjoy shared access to an on-site hot tub, and head down to the Lamoille River for a refreshing swim or peaceful spot to cast a fishing line. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or simply unwind in nature, everything you need is close at hand.

The Neighborhood:
Tucked away in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, the A-frame is part of Uncommon Accommodations—a unique riverside property just minutes from the village of Johnson. You'll find local cafés, breweries, galleries, and shops nearby, plus easy access to hiking, biking, skiing, and covered bridges. Centrally located between Stowe, Smugglers’ Notch, and Jeffersonville, this spot is perfect for exploring the best of Northern Vermont while enjoying a peaceful, wooded escape.

Getting Around:
A car is recommended for getting around and exploring the area. You'll have free parking right in front of the A-frame, and an EV charger is available on the property. We're centrally located between Stowe and Smugglers’ Notch, with scenic drives in every direction. In winter, 4WD or AWD is highly recommended due to Vermont’s snowy conditions and the hill in our driveway.

Other Things to Note:
This A-frame is part of Uncommon Accommodations, a small collection of unique stays on a 14-acre riverside property. While your treehouse is fully private, some amenities like the hot tub and river access are shared with a few other guests. We provide high-speed WiFi (via Starlink), and the space is best suited for 1–2 adults. Please note the loft is accessed via a spiral staircase and may not be ideal for those with mobility challenges.

Interaction with Guests:
Guests enjoy self check-in via a keypad for a smooth, contactless arrival. I give guests plenty of privacy but am always available by message if you need anything before or during your stay. Whether you have questions, need local tips, or run into any issues, I'm happy to help!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We really enjoyed our stay in the snow Dec 13th-Dec 15th! The A frame has a wonderful feel to it and all the amenities you could ever want for year around fun! Cozy warm nights spent by the fireplace sipping our favorite wine and eating local cheeses. Host was a top notch communicator. The only thing I would consider changing is the check in time to 3-4pm so we can arrive with daylight in the winter time and a checkout closer to 11am would allow for more time and a more "fair stay" for the price.

This is a lovely property! One of a kind with all the amenities you could hope for. The location is outstanding. We rode the LVT which is quite convenient to the property. One small caution, spiral staircase to second floor bedroom can be challenging for older folks!
