Budgeting for Your A-Frame Airbnb Build: Tips from The Back Country A-Frame Creator

Meet Janice Stitzer, the creator of The Back Country A-Frame in Kremmling, Colorado. 

One afternoon Janice was flipping through a Dwell magazine when she stumbled upon a piece about a new start-up called DEN, which was selling plans for some of the most beautiful cabins she had ever seen.  

Janice was so impressed by the gorgeous  DEN designs, particularly their designs for A-Frames, that right then and there she decided it was time to put her dream of building a short-term-rental from the ground up to life. 

In this podcast, Janice shares her journey of how she was first inspired to build an A-Frame Airbnb, the challenges she faced during the process and we delve deep into the topic of budgeting for a new A-Frame build and discuss the actual cost of building an A-Frame near Rocky Mountain National Park.
