Relaxing weekend

The treehouse was super cozy and just the perfect size for us. I enjoyed all the amenities, especially a stacked kitchen, a hot tub, and evenings by the bonfire. A nature trail was such a unique addition! I would highly recommend this treehouse to anyone seeking to relax in nature.

This Treehouse was immaculately clean, very easy to get to, close to downtown Marion, but still in Secluded setting and close to local attractions and winery’s. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves even during some storms.

Perfect spot for a long weekend

We came down from Chicago for a wedding and made a weekend trip out of it. This place was perfect! It’s private and secluded, but has all of the amenities you need. We were able too cook all of our meals in the kitchen, the wifi was fast, and the grill was great! There was a bird nesting on the deck and watching the parents come and go was so fun.

The CUTEST Cabin Ever!

We had the very best weekend here! So much so, that my kids are convinced that we need to live in a Tiny House and my fiancé is shopping for one haha! The location is perfect, we had everything we could have possibly needed, the hosts are the sweetest and sooo helpful and responsive! Communicating with them was an absolute delight. We plan on staying here annually with our children and we cannot wait for our next stay!

We were the first!!

We planned a last minute trip to Marion to view the solar eclipse and were lucky enough to find this property at a steal of a price. Everything was lovely and we were very comfortable. Cody was very communicative and made sure we stayed informed both leading up to and during our stay.
