When they describe this as a magical treehouse, they are not overselling! This place is amazing. From the first few steps inside, we were hooked. You definitely need to be a little careful on the stairs, but there is a sturdy hand rail to help! The kitchen/private dining screen room was awesome with everything you need to prepare a great camp meal. The trails and grounds were lovely. Overall could not have asked for a better stay!

Most amazingly magical place to stay!!!

This was our first time doing something like this and I have to say it may have spoiled us for any other trip!!! (Though now we want to do more!) The owners are genuine people and you can tell all the work that went into the place! This is an absolutely must try!!!! It was so clean, every detail was handled, it was so relaxing, and every time you look around there was something new you didn’t see!!! My only regret is we only booked for 2 nights!!!! Do not make my mistake and stay much longer!!! (Also make sure to bring bug spray cause I forgot!) We will be going back and trying another of their spots on the property and I will be sharing this with all my friends!! I really want to try it in the winter too!!

Bucket List - Check!

This was the type of stay we wanted to do for quite some time. When we came across the listing we knew it was the place! It did not disappoint! The treehouse was perfect, in a great location and Shelia and Bob were the perfect hosts. It was definitely one of our favorite vacations - quite the memories!

Loved this rental. It was amazing to wake up to the sounds of nature and the soft breeze rustling at the leaves. So much more peaceful than the city we are used to. The owner gave us our privacy and we didn't meet the other renters from the lean-to or cottage. Which means we basically had the whole property to ourselves. Loved that we had our own private bathroom too. If you have questions about what to do in the area, Bob and Sheila are your encyclopedias. Thank you for a magical weekend.

BEYOND WORDS!!!

OMG I can't say enough about this place! Absolutely MAGICAL! I've stayed MANY places, and this treehouse has BY FAR been the most unique and wonderfully memorable experience! Words can't adequately describe the natural beauty and wonder of this place! And not only are the accommodations beyond lovely, but the host's warm hospitality is unmatched! They truly go above and beyond in making your stay comfortable, and they are two of the nicest, most genuine people we've ever met! I honestly cannot say enough about this stay, you simply must experience it for yourself to truly understand the magic! We cannot WAIT to go back! By far our favorite stay yet! Thank you so so much, Sheila and Bob! It was such a pleasure meeting you both! :)))
