What a fantastic place to stay. A quaint and cozy house. Bob is a great host and I recommend everyone have a stay here. There is a little hike to get to your cabin with wagons to help get your items to and from. My family and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks Bob! Oh and he had awesome souvenirs!

Woodland paradise

Our stay was amazing! We stayed two nights and had bonfires both nights. We hiked the trails and Paris served as our guide. The outhouse and outdoor shower was a different experience but absolutely unique! We loved all the unique features of the cabin and the location! We came in October and the temperature was perfect. We will be back for sure!

Great find!

My fiancee & I were looking for a quiet, nature-filled, cabin-like place to stay for a couple days and definitely found it. Even though there are other treehouses within eyesight of ours, you would never know that you had "neighbors". We loved the rustic look to it and then some. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing and creative space, great host

We booked this thinking it was another location nearby. It was a bit of a drive but so worth it. Bob, the owner, has put so much thought into the design of the whole property. The kids loved adventuring through the woods. There's a great community space near the main house and each treehouse has a cute fire pit area. The outdoor showers and composting toilets are such a great addition. We also enjoyed a couple of chats with Bob throughout our stay. He was great. We look forward to booking another stay.

Exceptional Fun!

We loved this treehouse on 10 acres. The outside shower was wonderful in the 90 degree weather! The composting toilet is easy to use and very eco friendly. So many unique things to discover. Bob made checking in very easy and is very pleasant. Goats and a lovable dogs wander the 10 acres. I did find the house to be fairly dusty, sticky, full of cobwebs and it needs a good cleaning from top to bottom. Furniture is in desperate need of cleaning. Countertop, refrigerator and microwave were dirty. Coffee grounds and crumbs everywhere in kitchen. Floors were unswept in many areas. I found myself doing a little cleaning. Otherwise I would definitely give the treehouse 5 stars!

Very unique getaway!

Staying at the Captain's Quarters was an extremely fun and unique experience, offering a home above the ground in the tree line. While it was a slight adventure with the bathroom and shower accessible from the outdoors, but off the attached deck, the quaint little home was beautiful and easily slept five of us. A fully stocked outdoor fire pit was fantastic to enjoy a campfire, s'mores, and fun storytelling. It's easily accessible and halfway between Nauvoo and Keokuk. The property owner takes great pride and managing the home and making it available for use. Only item to consider is there isn't enough stove to cook a full meal for a family of five., but he provided great recommendations for local restaurants that we enjoyed.

Pirate Treehouse Adventure

The treehouse was so great and definitely exceeded our expectations! Even in sub zero temperatures we were cozy and comfortable. The space fed our imaginations and was a perfect natural hideaway for our family to spend quality time together, play games, explore the surrounding woods, and bask in the creativity and carpentry of our shelter. Thank you Bob for being so friendly and available. We made great memories here!

Very cool

What an awesome place they’ve built! We would stay here regularly if we lived closer. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The host is excellent. Our kids loved the place. The only downside was the previous guests smoked inside the treehouse, despite there being strict no smoking rules. But we would definitely stay there again.
