We love treehouses and have stayed in various ones around the world. The Charlottesville treehouse exceeded our expectations! I wanted to plan a surprise early Valentine's Day getaway, but wanted to keep it fairly local to where we live. I found the treehouse on VRBO and Leora was prompt with email responses. When we arrived we were stoked on the awesomeness of the treehouse. It is very welcoming, clean, funky, and fun! One of our favorite parts about the treehouse is how close it is to everything. Typically when we stay in treehouses they are way off the beaten path and require us to drive to do anything. Although we drove a few places, they were all very close! We ate at some great local restaurants (that were recommended in the treehouse book- thanks!), hung out at the treehouse and read, took walks down by the river just below the treehouse, and took a little day trip up to Monticello and hiked up the walking trail to the house (Thanks for the recommendation Leora!). Everything was 5-15 minutes from the treehouse. We also brought our Westie with us to stay in the treehouse, which is pet friendly :) She loved it, especially all the birds and squirrels. Although we stayed in the treehouse in the peak of winter, we stayed warm. The first night it was cold outside, but we made a fire in the log stove and it kept us warm all night. The treehouse is also equipped with space heaters and electric blankets. The second day we were there it was gorgeous out and we spent the day with the windows open and hanging out on the porch listening to music. The only downside is that the bathroom is outside of the main part of the treehouse enclosed on the opposite side of the deck from the front door. I love an outdoor shower any time of year, but in the middle of winter I wish the half bathroom had been inside. The treehouse was just what we both needed. We had a great stay and hope to make it back one day! Will def. recommend to friends!
