Fantastic and adorable. So cute with little touches inspired by LOTR. The weather was too hot to enjoy the mordor corner, hot tub, or sauna but we'll absolutely be back in the cooler months.

The house itself, is amazing. Truly a feeling of whimsy and wonder. Everything is clean, and there are little signs everywhere to help you figure out how everything functions in what is essentially a Tiny House. That said, there were two glaring issues. 1. Before leaving to check in, we informed the host that we'd be arriving in the dark. The host said ok. The instructions say to "just pull in and drive on back". It also says the house number is *redacted*. What it doesn't mention, is that the mailbox for *redacted* is on the other side of the road, and everything is pitch black. This resulted is driving onto someone else's property and into their yard. I don't need to tell anyone that this could have ended VERY badly. If the neighbors were not understanding and kind, we could have been shot. This is unreal that the host would not tell us that the property is not where the mailbox is. 2. This property does not have a hot tub. The hot tub is 100 yards away, down a hill, attached to a private residence where the manager lives. Hot tubs are meant to be private, intimate settings. We absolutely did not feel comfortable using a hot tub in full view of strangers (it's literally right in front of a huge glass sliding door.)These things should be fixed, and the property will be perfect.

Quick Getaway

We were intrigued with the history of the property. It was intriguing and quaint property. Kids enjoyed the wide range of board games and the mini zip line. Would love to go back in the fall when the leaves change colors.

Amazing Getaway

From the time we booked our stay to leaving the property, we had an excellent experience. Jill and Joan welcomed us with personalized greetings and made sure we had everything we needed. They responded promptly when we had questions and made sure we knew they were available. The history of this place is incredible and we will forever hold the memory of fhe weekend we spent. Thank you so much Jill and Joan!

I liked the lord of the rings theme and the extra amenities like the zipline and hot tub. I loved the welcome sign in scrabble and the eggs and bread gifts. Cute touch. We had alot of trouble getting stove to work and knobs kept falling off so that part was frustrating to try and figure out. The ziplining was fun but a little dangerous. My kids almost hit end of platform. Maybe a longer platform would fix this. Overall it was decent even though it was a little overpriced in my opinion. But i liked that it was themed and close to home.

Great charm. Bad beds.

There is an endless number of things that are amazing about this property but unfortunately we were unable to stay both nights due to how poor the beds were in our location. It was beautiful, it was romantic, and there were a lot of things about that place that made us want to go back but unless the beds are upgraded we will not be able to return. We had a very difficult time sleeping and the amount of back pain that we experienced throughout the night only grew worse and by the next morning we could barely move. I'm really hoping that the owners take this opportunity to invest in better mattresses so that one day we can come back again.

Inaccurate Description

There truly are so many things to like about this property. It is very unique and unlike any place I have ever stayed; however, we were disappointed in the overall experience with the space being so small. The website states there are two bedrooms with 2 full beds and a twin hideabed/loveseat. The whole space is open so not much sleeping privacy. There were 2 full beds and then a reclining sofa and not much space to move with 3 adults and a dog. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the large deck, though it is very close to the highway so there was a lot of traffic noise. While this is a cozy stay for 1 or 2 people, more than that is cramped and uncomfortable.

Weekend getaway for the family

My partner and I brought our 5 & 10 year old girls to the tree house cabin for a weekend getaway from the twin cities area. We loved how close the area is to the cities, making it an easy drive with kids after the school and work day. But what made the place amazing was how magical it was, and all the extra touches that didn’t get described in the listing. There were so many fun little places to explore on the property and in the cabin that we were delighted the entire time. I think my only disappointment was that it was incredibly cold out with a lot of snow on the ground and the hot tub is adjacent to the owner’s home which is a good distance from the cabin. Because of this, we decided to forgo the hot tub since it would mean trekking back to the cabin across a large field of snow while wet(and with young kids). Perhaps next time we will come without the little ones. On a positive note, we hadn’t realized our cabin came with a sauna under it! I could go into a lot of detail about all of the fun ways in which the owners made our stay warm and welcoming and perfect but I think it would be much better to just insist you try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to come again and bring friends along.
