Many consider the A-Frame the classic vacation home.  It is easily imagined, nestled away in a wooded setting, reflecting itself in the rippling waters of a mountain lake, or overlooking the crashing waves of an ocean beachfront.  The A-frame home has been cast in the role of a “getaway” place for a number of good reasons.  First, the steep pitch or triangular shape of the roof is undaunted by the weight of heavy snowfall.  Second, the upper floor can be either used as a sleeping loft or for storage space.  And finally, exterior maintenance of an A-frame home is generally limited to its front and rear, since the roof extends nearly to the ground on both sides.  This allows more time to enjoy the home - not work on it.
