A sweet 1965 A-frame cabin in Wilmington, VT, is listed for $399,000. It's fully furnished and just 10 minutes from Mount Snow ski slopes.
Few house styles say "ski weekend" quite like an A-frame, and in Vermont’s Deerfield Valley, these cabins have been part of the landscape since the ski boom of the 1960s.
Now, one of those originals is up for grabs at an incredibly accessible price. As well, it’s move-in-ready, right down to the sofa and stacked firewood.
Located at 36 Ives Road in Wilmington, VT, the 1965 A-frame has just been listed for $399,000—and it’s being sold fully furnished.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin measures 1,140 square feet and sits on over a half-acre in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. That works out to about $350 per square foot for a turnkey getaway, with the furniture already in place for a new owner who would rather spend the first weekend on the slopes than shopping for home decor.

The kitchen is tucked away under the loft space.

Wood finishes run throughout the cabin, giving the interior the warm, traditional character buyers tend to look for in the Vermont market.
The kitchen, dining space, and living room share one open layout, which makes for easy entertaining if friends or family decide to join for a quick getaway. A wood stove serves as the room’s focal point and provides a spot to warm up after a cold day outdoors.
