Seven Sundays Cabin
Location: Guerneville, California
Vibe: Almost A-Frame
The owners of this Mid-Century retreat imagined what a cabin would look and feel like if every day was Sunday.

There’s even an fully-outfitted Airstream and sauna to make your stay even sweeter. Not an A-Frame by definition, we couldn’t help adding this well-designed cabin in the California woods to this list.
