About this property
Handcrafted NH Treehouse · 2hr Boston · Fire Pit, Lake, Stargazing
Two hours from Boston, tucked into 1,000+ acres of New Hampshire forest, our handcrafted treehouse is built for two people who want to actually hear themselves think. Gavin built it by hand in 2020.
We greet you with a bottle of wine and a cheese board. Cozy loft, fire pit, wraparound deck, pitch-dark stargazer skies. Lake access a mile away.
WELCOME TO NEW HAMPSHIRE TREEHOUSE LIFE
This is a retreat for two — the kind of place where the only thing on your schedule is watching the sun set through the trees. Gavin built this treehouse in 2020, and we've been welcoming couples, writers, and quiet-weekend-seekers ever since.

OUTSIDE
