About this property

The Aliyah Treehouse with swinging bridge +285 acres hiking trails

We have three treehouses strategically placed to give you privacy and that are close enough that you can rent out all three.

What makes the Aliyah unique is that the snuggle palace is 30 feet high and is our tallest treehouse. It’s great for when you’re a family that likes to spread out. In the main cabin is a full size bed and across the swinging bridge is a bunk bed with a twin & full size bed. Separated sleeping quarters.

The hickory is unique in that it has a play ground, consisting of a slide, a swing and two hammocks. It has a cozy nook with lots of games. This treehouse is best for two adults and 4 kids that want to be in the same room at bed time. (VRBO number 7710811)

The Pete is unique and has a wood burning stove. It has the biggest floor plan with lots of open space with an over sized loft with a king size bed. Best suited for Pete Nelson treehouse lovers & a couple with two small kids. (VRBO number 767630)

“THE SPACE”

THE ALIYAH. This tree house is for those wanting an, "off the grid nature experience." This is TRULY, a one of a kind adventure experience.

The treehouse is secluded and tucked in the woods and off the grid.

There's a tree in the room. As in: a more-than-100-year-old, two foot wide trunk right there in the middle, lichen and all, reaching straight through the roof, one of two red oaks that support the tree house. Neighboring limbs hold a second tree-house bedroom accessible by a suspended rope-and-plank bridge to a deck. It’s an excellent place to sleep, without light or sounds, except for the nighttime woods.

It’s trees as far as the eyes can see. The woods hold different marvels all times of year, so there is no off-season at EarthJoy village where the tree house resides. You have a generator to power the AC unit. Guests also relax with a tree pod below, a stacked-stone fire-pit, cafe seating outside the main tree house, and shaded hiking paths (including the popular 3.3 mile Heart Trail) that wind through the 200-acre private property, each bend bringing native flora, ponds, creeks. You can HIKE, Walk of Bike the trails.

There is a electric heater, and electricity. You also have back up battery-powered lanterns, a three gallon jug of water in the kitchenette and an adjacent compost toilet. A private bath house is up the road.

T he tree house is wholly, cozy and austere. A L-shaped couch wraps the red oak. But who are you kidding. You are going to be sitting outside!

The five tree grove is available to you to book a guided tree climb. Here, our professional facilitator will take you to the top for the best views! You can learn all the tree tricks, including coming down, upside down. Or you can always just hang out in the GIANT green net!

You can buy a big bundle of wood for $50.00 or bring your own.

Check in to treehouse and or property is 4PM. Early check ins to property or tree house can be prearranged for $50.00 organization/expedite fee or we recommend booking two nights to fully take advantage of all the property has to offer.

Kids can go on scavenger hunt to find the 5 ponds, (scavenger bingo is supplied for you and in the tree house. A favorite of guests is to explore an abandoned 1800s settlers log cabin, and wade and play in several cool creeks! Bring your fishing poles!

You can also book a guided meditative hike that will connect you deeper to yourself, others and nature or check out our nature invitations in the tree house manual created just for you.

A fully stocked kitchenette inside has everything you need to cook all your meals including 3-gallon tank of water, pots and pans, plates, bowls ,yeti like cooler, Mr coffee, two burner electric stove and utensils. With a portable sink for clean up

You are sure to sleep well either on the full size memory foam mattress in the loft above the living room or use of sleeping bags on the extra large couch.

You will fight over the snuggle palace where you can view the sunset, sunrise and stars at night. It has full size memory foam mattress and twin bunk above.

This TreeHouse is recommended lovers Nature lovers, people who seek time away from technology.

We cannot predict the weather. When it is sunny and warm things can be peachy. The tree house can also be fun when it rains just prepare ahead of time.

In good dry weather you will have much easier time to navigate right up to the tree house! However, in snow, or rain we recommend four wheel drive with good tires. If you are afraid you will get stuck during your stay we ask you do not pull down further than the green farm house at entry of property. From there you can use a wagon next to farmhouse to take your things down.

When the weather dips down into the teens the bathhouse may have frozen pipes. You will still be able to use it with a little improvisation. It is heated. If you want to take a shower you can follow the directions for a portable shower.

There is a full bath house with a shower, toilet and sink as you come into the property marked BATHHOUSE. It is located up the hill by the farm house, about a football field away from the tree house. For quick trips to the bathroom, the outhouse is 30 feet outside of the tree house. They are clean, organized and efficient!

We have a detailed manual inside the tree house for more details.


Please take note*** If you love Wildlife and do not mind critters. The tree house is in the middle of the woods you may encounter mice, wasp, bees, ticks, deer, turkey, flies, ants, water bugs, hear coyotes, and owls especially out on the trails. THIS IS THEIR HOME! We ask that you be a person that respects wildlife. If interaction with bugs, insects, animals and nature is disheartening to you we do not recommend this tree house experience for you. Please do not book this tree house and then call us when you see a wasp, bee, find a tick or other things you find in nature. We have used natural deterrents that really work to keep critters out of the tree house.

**A favorite of guests is visiting the Historical town of Augusta Ky. Childhood home to George Clooney. The Irish Pub is a great place to eat (call ahead for open hours) and have a ice cream after at the general store across the street. Visit the small red train with historical info and take a stroll along the beautiful Ohio River just two blocks to the left of the pub. Augusta is also home to underground railroad.

For more favorites and suggestions, look in the treehouse manual or ask us to send you some before you book.

The Tree houses are our dream come true. We both wanted treehouses at a young age. For me, I believed it would bring me peace. I would play in the woods with my siblings imagining this treehouse it with small branches, using rocks as our furniture and moss as our carpet. I never let go of having this space and thought about it often.

When Bill and I started our dream company EarthJOY Tree adventures in 2007. Whereas we take clients to the top of trees on ropes. As part of this venture we wanted to give them another experience. Why not be able to stay in a treehouse too??

We set off to take Pete Nelsons LEARN HOW TO BUILD A TREEHOUSE in 2009 workshop.

After the workshop we looked high and low for the perfect property to have this dream come true. We ran into many obstacles one being not able to afford it or not the right trees.

When we saw Pete on Animal planet I thought I would just apply for the fun of it. We didn't even have a place. When they called and accepted our application I called Dad. I asked him if we could build a treehouse on his 200 acre farm. He laughed and then said YES! He said he was tired

Spring weekend getaway
Easy checkin and necessary amenities made treehouse living a breeze. Challenging but well groomed hills made trails manageable for young kids (4&7). Creeks, tree swings hammocks all seemed a perfect an often timely compliment. Would recommend to anyone who doesn’t mind a little excersize and some time unplugged.

This is a great retreat with lots of fun adventures — tree climb, hike, visit Augusta, eat at the Bee Hive. The bathroom situation was a bit of a shock for my kids, but they can’t always be princesses. :)

Charming
Who wouldn't want to stay in a tree house? This is an incredible destination for people who want to get away from everything, including the ground. You stay in the woods, sleeping in the tree tops. The property was immense, over 200 acres to explore, trails to hike, and things to find. They also have a tree climbing experience if you want to climb. The property was very clean. While there is no power at the tree house, there are batteries available for charging your cell phone, a generator for A/C if you need it, plus battery powered fans and lights. I couldn't recommend this property enough, and look forward to another get away there.

Awesome experience.
First of all Shelley and Bill were amazing to work with. All my questions were answered promptly! We stayed in the treehouse with our three grandchildren and did the tree climb with Bill. Everything was fantastic. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a special time with family away from the noise of life. We will be back.

Omg the beauty!
So ever since I seen the silly show that makes treehouse. I have been obsessed. So when it randomly popped up in an add on my Facebook and I saw it was close to home. I knew this adventure was for me!! It was like staying in a tiny fairy house in the woods. It was cozy and the weather was prefect for our little girl's trip! I'm so appreciative of the little farm and the memories made. We are definitely booking again for a bigger girl's trip this time! 😍

Fantastic treehouse
This little treehouse was simply adorable. The trails were nice and very clean. There wasn’t even a wrapper or any garbage anywhere on the property. Impeccable. Which we found to be ironic at the same time because the only complaint we have about the entire experience is the lack of trash cans. It made it a bit more challenging to do the trails if you want to take some beverages along with you cause we had to carry a separate bag for trash. Also having to take your trash with you was a bit of an inconvenience as well. But other than that this place is exactly what we wanted. A nice little get away from the chaos and some piece and quiet. Would definitely recommend!!!

A perfect oasis
We had a wonderful time enjoying the outdoors nestled in this beautiful and comfortable tree house! Loved the unique stay, the surrounding wilderness cities, the friendly people, and the seclusion of this cozy escape! We also made a new friend with a flying squirrel that was adorable! Booking was a breeze and I felt very welcomed and accommodated for without being bothered! Will definitely enjoy coming back again!

Amazing Treehouse
We had a blast staying at this treehouse. I brought four kids aged 3-8 and they absolutely loved it here. It was like a little kid paradise. They especially loved the bridge to snuggle palace. My dog loved being able to run free through the woods and eat all the sticks he could possibly find. It was truly a magical experience and I would definitely go back. Also, the owner of the property was super friendly and available for questions or concerns along the way. This was our first tree house excursion and we have decided that we are going to create a bucklist of all the tree houses in the US and travel to at least one a year. So much fun and worth the money. Thanks for a great time.

Best Experience ever!!!!
Been alot of places but this was a Wonderful Experience. The treehouse is well built, very cozy and well supplied. The "organic toilet" was fine. Owners are fabulous. We loved Bill's primitive class. Upon entering through secure locking gate, bath house(clean & has electric/heating) and farm house are first. Going down hill is 1st cabin built by Pete Nelson the 2nd cabin is below that. Private and easily accessible. We had a fun fire pit area with fire. The area has hiking with maps and searches. We had no electricity and loved it. We didnt miss this at all bc we talked, played games, talked more.. We ventured to Augusta but like Maysville Ky. We loved the Rual King shop and Capronis resturant. We had 3 glorious days in our treehouse. If your looking for a Wonderful experience, choose the Earth Joy treehouses. It's truly wonderful.

Great location, awesome little retreat!
A weekend with nature and friends! As our first night there caught people coming straight from work, we decided on snappys pizza for dinner instead of cooking. It was worth the curves and the drive, as we saw the most beautiful bright double rainbow over the country side, it seemed to start where we were and stretch to the treehouse area! We knew at that point our weekend was going to be a good one! The following morning, We got our exercise in while looking for hobbit houses and the Treepods. The fire pit was big enough to accommodate or large group for conversation, and cooking. We took a screened canopy that was great for setting up with our table for cards and games, the ground isnt level, but we made it work. The treehouse and snuggle hut, was well stocked with essentials, and Was as described in the listing. We were very pleased, and are already talking about returning next year! It was an amazing weekend, with friends in an amazing little treehouse!

Awesome Family Retreat!
We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend at the Aliyah Tree House! Everything was as described, with great instructions for use and well stocked supplies. We enjoyed hiking on the property (watch out for the massive inclines!), playing games together in the tree house, and hunting for "critters" outside. When asked, all 3 of my kids (ages 7,5and 3) say that catching toads was their favorite part and they would like to have stayed for another year. ha! Shelly stopped by during our visit and it was wonderful to meet her. Her excitement and love for the property and tree houses is obvious and makes the experience that much more meaningful. I came away from the weekend with a renewed spirit and we can't wait to try the Aliyah out in another season!

Aliyah treehouse was an amazing experience! More than we imagined. The highlight was the suspension bridge between the living quarters and sleep paradise. 5 out of 5 stars for us. I have never felt closer to nature and our host, Shelley, made sure that everything was perfect! Thank you for the hospitality. I want to tell all of my friends, but I also want this place all to myself! Thank you for everything!

This was a magical weekend for our family. The owners are wonderful and left games for us to play. The swinging bridge was so entertaining-my boys (husband included) played on it for quite awhile. There are hikes on the property and a map in the house to show you the different places to go. It’s charming and we cannot wait to go again!

We had a great time hiking and making hotdogs and s'mores around the fire pit. Kids loved the bridge between the two tree houses. Only negative: sleeping in the loft in the main house was hot on this July night. Next time we'll come in the fall!

Enjoyed the novelty of this getaway.
Wish weather had cooperated more (rained all evening ) We tried doing a few of the trails but terrain was pretty steep and slippery down to bottom of hill. Rooms were neat and clean but noticed an odor that seemed to come from the ropes on bed ladders. Wish covers on beds & pillows could be washed/cleaned between visitors. Overall very memorable experience with our granddaughters &son!!

Great mini-vacay!
Our family of four +1 (two adults, three teenagers) had a wonderful get-away at the Aliyah Tree House. It is exactly as the pictures show but BETTER in person; very serene. We were able to visit some interesting sights using the suggestions that are provided in the tree house book. Our kids loved taking the van on the ferry to go to Ohio and we all enjoyed antiquing and hiking and swimming in the gorgeous Kentucky State Parks. Having the Aliyah house to come back to after our day trips was a bucket list item checked off!
