Ryan and Katie Fromm

Hello, future guest. Ryan is a firefighter and Katie is a teacher, and we live in Snohomish with our dog Ernie and a cat named Meow Meow.

Through Fromm Timber Company we design, cut, and build custom timber structures. To go with the A-Frame we built a matching wood-burning sauna.

We started out by renting our main house. Now there is the A-Frame, and we look forward to meeting you.

What guests wrote afterwards.

  • My stay here was absolutely magical—the perfect setting to truly relax and unwind. The home has everything you could possibly need, and every detail has been so beautifully and thoughtfully done. The wood-burning sauna was absolutely incredible and made the experience feel even more special. I truly didn’t want to leave and already can’t wait to return!

  • The A frame, sauna and outside gathering area deep in the private 80 acre forest make for a true getaway paradise. The architecture and interior design left no detail behind. And every amenity and creature comfort was thought of. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Up the gravel road, then on foot

The last stretch is a short walk through the woods. Here is what to expect.

  1. Book on Airbnb

    Dates, the price for your stay and the full house details are on the listing. The exact location is shared once you have booked.

  2. Drive up the hill

    The cabin is at the end of a mile-long gravel road, at the top of a very steep hill. When it is snowy or icy, four-wheel drive is required.

  3. Walk in through the woods

    Park on the property and take the wood-chip path: about 400 yards, roughly five minutes, with a few small hills. It is lit after dark, and a wheeled wagon is provided, because everything is carried out to the cabin.

  4. Settle in

    Guests have the A-Frame, its sauna and the 80 acres of private forest. We live on an attached 5-acre parcel that guests do not have access to.

Good to know before you go

How do I book?

Through Airbnb. The listing has the dates, the price for your stay and the full house details, and Airbnb shares the exact location once you have booked.

How far is the walk from the car?

About 400 yards, roughly a five-minute walk through the woods on a wood-chip path with a few small hills. The path is lit after dark, and a wheeled wagon is provided, because everything has to be carried out to the cabin.

Do I need four-wheel drive?

Only in snow or ice. The cabin is at the end of a mile-long gravel road at the top of a very steep hill, and the hill can be difficult in winter. When it is snowy or icy, four-wheel drive is required.

How many people does it sleep?

Four. There is a king bed in the loft, up a hand-crafted ship’s ladder, and a double bed in the downstairs bedroom. There is one bathroom.

Is there anything about the layout I should know?

The bathroom and the downstairs bedroom close with live-edge, book-matched swinging doors, saloon style. They leave small gaps when closed, which is a privacy issue for some guests.

How private is it?

The cabin and sauna stand on 80 private acres, and the sauna’s window looks into the woods without a neighboring house to be seen. We live on an attached 5-acre parcel that guests do not have access to.

How far is it from town?

The cabin is in unincorporated Snohomish, about a 20-minute drive to Snohomish, Monroe and Lake Stevens, and about an hour from Seattle.

Snohomish, Washington. About an hour from Seattle.
