About this property
Blue Ghost Host Summer finale Autumn
Unique watch tower nestled in the forest overlooking Mill Creek falls on lake Glenville. Like staying in a tree fort with modern luxuries, Relax to the subtle sounds of distant waterfall and gentle breezes that flow through this open air cabin. Perhaps you will be visited by the elusive Blue Ghost Firefly's inhabiting this region.
Summer Finale Deep summer green shade gives way to vibrant red and gold. This season the Tower house becomes enveloped with color and cooler air descends while the Blue Ghost fire fly's diminish the nocturnal katydids and crickets sing farewell.

About the host
Hosted by Dean Getchell
I designed and built this place in 2008 as a year round vacation house for all seasons. It's small in foot print yet mighty in substance. We carved into the side of an ancient 3,500 ft. mountain with little environmental impact. I'm an advocate for the preservation of worlds special places and hope to share my house as an example of how to build sustainably and one with the Land.
