This traditional 70s A-Frame cottage in Huntsville, Ontario got a modern makeover and has become a stylish woodland getaway. While there’s plenty of that old school A-frame charm inside, the bright while walls, modern appliances, and new furniture make it a luxury couple’s getaway.
Off the front of the cottage is a large deck, complete with outdoor seating and a grill. Inside the lower floor has an open-concept feel with a sectional sofa, dining table, and newly-renovated kitchen. The bathroom has an old-fashioned clawfoot tub with a shower adaption, and upstairs the Master bed looks out of gorgeous windows to the swaying treetops.

I love the white walls! It is also surprisingly roomy, too! Though I think “luxury” in the description is a bit of a stretch, it is a pleasant place to spend a little time. If you choose a vacation in a place like this, you are usually more interested in the outdoor environment, for sure. Nice fire pit. Fabulous views!
Compared to how people are living in city apartments, that is luxury… By a lot!
Love this the white made it so airy and bright absolutely adorable!
So glad you enjoyed it!
The white flatters the A Frame very much! Love this and the kitchen is beautiful.
As far as A Frames go, this one shines! It is upgraded enough that it seems very unlike the dowdy little cabins people only visit once or twice a year. I do like the white walls, too, but I think I might have been tempted to leave the beams natural wood and then have some nice wood pieces mixed into the decor like a great antique buffet for storage and put the TV above it. The possibilities are endless! I would agree that the view from the bedroom is great but the window is so high that you would have to be standing to really see it. Let me wake up to all those wonderful trees! Give me breakfast in bed while I enjoy nature! 😉 Nicely done for the most part. I’m sure others will see changes they would want and some who think it’s perfect as is. It’s all personal preference, isn’t it?
Yes, personal preference is definitely part of it. I agree I’d love some breakfast in bed here!
