Very rustic including the awesome outdoor shower. But had ac so that was a bonus. The balcony was a joy to sit on and enjoy the breeze. The host Bob was very helpful and his dog Paris was a bonus visitor. The goats were fun to visit as well. I will go back and check out another treehouse cabin soon!

It was a rustic experience for sure. The walk uphill from the car was ok with the wagon. I had flip flops on and was fine, walking down the hill in flip flops was slippery at times. The space was a cozy size that was perfectly ok with us. The porch rocker was awesome to enjoy nature. The outdoor shower was my first experience with one and I was grateful for the hot water and the space was nice and big. There were cob webs and I am allergic to both dust and dog hair so I had a reaction to both in the cabin. I dont necessarily blame the owner for this part because accepting pets and it being in the woods, I expected that. The comforter could use an upgrade as it was very scratchy. We both were able to sleep past 8am so that made the trip worth it as we were there to relax and unwind. I loved the eco friendliness of the place. I had never used a composting toilet but it was both interesting and not a problem for us at all. Lovely weekend getaway. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Great Weekend!!

It was such a fun experience! We loved exploring the property, meeting the resident animals and visiting with the owner. We arrived when it was dark- the entrance was majestic and our six year old couldn't wait to get up in the morning to see the surroundings.

A cute little cabin. The inside “fireplace “ heater worked wonderful. The outside shower was a new experience but was great. If you visit in colder months make sure to hurry in the shower because the hot water will run out. We visited early April. The ladder to the loft was a bit difficult for us (being a couple in our 50’s). I suggested bringing only what you need for your time in the cabin because it is kind of a difficult walk up to the cabin- especially if it’s rained. They do have wagons to haul your items up but that was a bit difficult as well. We had a fire in the fire pit and cooked food on the provided grill. It was a great night getaway.
