1,200 Sq. Ft. A-Frame House Plans

By Aurora Zeledon

Is your favorite aesthetic rustic, mountain chic, but you don't want to break the bank to build your dream vacation home? Cabin plans come in many shapes and sizes. While A-frame designs usually are thought of as having steeply pitched roofs that go all the way down, most of these small floor plans (each around 1,200 square feet) are a little less extreme - but no less cozy.

This is probably what you picture when you think of an A-Frame cabin plan: a steeply pitched roof and plenty of rugged charm. And with a deck for the main level plus a large balcony upstairs, you've got a choice on the best viewing spot for stargazing, or catching the sunset. The kitchen's peninsula overlooks the living room.

For more ambiance, build a fire in the fireplace.
