A-Frame Cabin – Far Meadow.
Sunset, October 2009
Starting in the 1950s, the A frame cabin was the most popular vacation home type and a national phenomenon. It dotted ski slopes from Stowe Vermont to Squaw Valley, California and was a common sight in resort communities and forests and on back roads in between.
The steep slope of the A-frame roof is designed to help heavy snow to slide to the ground, instead of remaining on top of the house and weighing it down. In winter time we do have up to 16 feet of snow at Far Meadow and this made it very logical that we decided to look into ‘rediscovering’ the A frame design and gave it a modern spin. FAR MEADOW is our 20 acre parcel situated within the Sierra National Forest at an elevation of 7000 feet. 14 miles above Bass Lake on the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, this property is surrounded by amazing meadows, secret swimming holes and miles and miles of undiscovered hiking trails. Your own private Yosemite without the crowds.

The A frame is totally off the grid, powered by solar energy. There’s no phone and no television, but rest assured – internet access is provided via satellite. It’s the perfect hideaway for the outdoor enthusiast who doesn’t necessarily want to rough it.
If you’re ever wanted to get off the beaten track, this is the place for you. Listen to the sound of stillness, walk for miles through the national forest, enjoy the beauty of this remote meadow.
Take the time to read all those books you’ve been meaning to. Gaze at stars. This large deck is perfect for unwinding.
When the snow falls, the cabin is only accessible by snowmobile.
Clean lines give the cabin a striking contemporary feel.
Who says the wilderness has to be uncomfortable? This cabin is simple and luxurious,modern and spacious (750 sq ft) with large windows overlooking the meadow and river.
Experience quiet in a whole new way. The upstairs sleeping loft looks out over the trees – you will sleep so well ..
This compact, playful kitchen is stocked with everything you’ll need… possibly more.
High ceilings and windows give the cabin a very contemporary feel.
Relax in the cozy living room… comfort and simple luxury in the entire cabin
Bathroom with extra large bathtub and state of the art shower..enjoy

Discover wild flowers that bloom throughout the spring and summer in hues of yellow, blue and white. And the lush green of the new meadow grass, that turns yellow then white, as the seasons change.
These meadows and wild flowers look almost too good to be true. But take it from us, they are.
Gentle streams run through the grass.
You never know what you’ll find.
Peace, tranquility.

Imagine Yosemite without the tourist buses and the crowds. The possibilities are endless – meadows, giant trees, lakes, and rivers. Welcome to the peace of the High Country
You can hike to lakes and swim in crystal clear water .. that in August is not even cold !
Just a few miles up the road you can see the famous Globe Rock – it looks as if it could fall at any moment, but centuries of weather, earthquakes and humans have not moved this rock
Many swimming holes are near by.. you will need to hike a little, but what a reward !

Don’t get lost ! After the left turn on Bass Lake you go a windy road up for about 14 miles. Make sure you pass the sumit. After that you go down again until you get to ‘Jones Store’ on the left. You pass it and you know you are going the right direction. A mile after Jones Store the road splits and you keep going on the left !!!!! From here on ( about 1.8 miles) there are no major options. keep going until you see our SIGN and right here you turn right into the dirt road. Another mile and you are at FAR MEADOW. Welcome.

Interested in weekend rental mid October 2009. Same questions as Mr. Rodenburg (9-8-2009) regarding weather concerns. Also, I live in LA and am a licensed contractor for tree work as well as an ISA certified Arborist with 30 years in the tree trade. Called your number (310 728 ****)and an employee indicated that you folks were in Topanga Canyon and might possibly entertain a swap-work-for-rental proposal. My thought was that, if interested, I could bid whatever you might need at our Topanga location and then perform the work as trade value to be used as payment for rental space. I would expect to perform the work prior to use of the cabin so as to insure your satisfaction that you were being fairly treated. But notwithstanding your interest (or lack of same) in barter, please do let me know about availability, weather and costs. And thanks for your time. Steve Marshall The Urban Lumberjack.com
HI,
I was wondering if you could tell me the availability come late October / early November? I am interested in renting the cabin for 3 – 6 days depending on how we plan the trip. Also, I know the weather in unpredictable but is it likely that a car would not be able to get us there at that time of the year?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a better understanding of the area/cabin.
Please feel free to contact me and ask any questions.
Thanks,
Alan
