A-frame house rules template

An A-frame's steep roof makes for great photos and a few quirks guests don't expect: a sleeping loft reached by a ladder or steep stairs, sloped ceilings to bump heads on, heat that rises to the loft and big front windows that face the trees or the neighbours.

This template covers the standard Airbnb rules plus A-frame requests with short reasons, so guests know how the space works before their first night.

The template

Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

Check-in and checkout

  • Check-in from [Check-in time]. Checkout by [Checkout time].

Guests and noise

  • The A-frame sleeps [Max guests]: [Sleeping layout, e.g. two in the loft, two on the sofa bed].
  • The open loft means sound carries through the whole cabin. Quiet hours are [Quiet hours start] to [Quiet hours end].
  • No parties or events, please.

Pets, smoking and photos

  • Pets: [Pet rule].
  • No smoking or vaping inside or on the deck.
  • Commercial photography or filming only with our permission. Many people photograph the A-frame, so please ask.

A-frame requests

  • The loft stairs are steep. Please face them when coming down, use the rail and keep young children off them unless an adult is with them.
  • Mind your head: the ceiling slopes low along the sides of the loft.
  • Heat rises, so the loft gets warm. Use the fan at [Fan location] rather than opening the skylight in rain.
  • Wood stove or fireplace: [Stove instructions]. Please never leave a fire unattended.
  • The big front windows have [Blind or curtain info]. Close them at night if you'd like privacy.
  • Please don't climb onto the roof or the window ledges for photos.

Locking up

  • Lock the door when you go out and at checkout.

Before you leave

  • Put used dishes in the sink.
  • Gather used towels in [Towel spot].
  • Sort trash and recycling into the indoor bins.
  • Turn off lights, the stove and the heat, and close the windows and skylight.
  • Lock up and return the key [Key return spot].

Thanks for staying in our little triangle!

Questions

Are A-frame lofts safe for kids?

It depends on the stairs or ladder and the railing. Many hosts ask that young children use them only with an adult and say so in the listing.

Can I stop guests doing photo shoots at my A-frame?

Yes. Commercial photography and filming is one of the standard rules you can set, so guests need your permission first.

Why is the A-frame loft so hot?

Heat rises to the peak of the roof. A ceiling or standing fan and clear instructions on the stove or thermostat help guests stay comfortable.
