The A-Frame in the Woods’ biggest attraction is nature—a perfect setting to relax and unwind. “We do have wi-fi, but the guests we’ve had enjoy disconnecting.

According to Airbnb, A-Frame in the Woods has over 90 reviews and Johnson is maintaining a 4.96 rating as a superhost after just starting hosting this year.
