Mini Honeymoon

We stayed 3 nights in August immediately following our wedding. We LOVED this rental. The natural surrounding was just the escape we needed. We spent our days exploring the Lake Michigan beaches and in the evening made dinner and spent time by the fire. We loved that the rental came with all sorts of amenities. We definitely plan to book again.

Tree House

My husband and I stayed at the tree house for 5 nights and loved it. The Tree House is very peaceful. From the moment we walked in we knew our stay was going to be amazing! First off, the house is masterfully crafted, immaculately clean, and so well stocked. The deck was a place of solitude, and the fire pit even came with all the fixings for s’mores! Our main purpose in visiting the area was to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, which was a short 40 minute drive away. We loved the park but each day we looked forward to coming “home” to our tree house oasis. Just can’t say how much we enjoyed our stay and the owners were accessible, friendly, attentive, and tremendous host. If you are looking for a peaceful, clean, well crafted, and well thought out place to stay, this is the place!!

Beautiful and peaceful place

Spent the night here after a slushy day at Crystal Mountain. Was super clean, well stocked, and obviously well thought out construction. Easy communication with the host, and was stocked and ready for us when we arrived. I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect!

This was the most amazing place we have ever stayed. It’s perfect. Very clean and well appointed. We went for our anniversary, what a wonderful place to reconnect with each other. We never wanted to leave. Already have plans to return next year. You will feel so close to nature, but not far from Traverse City or Interlochen. Priceless!

Beautiful Stay

Everything was perfect! The treehouse was well stocked with everything we needed and more. Incredibly peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful views all around. Comfy beds, super clean, great shower, which is a must after a day of exploring/hiking :) We enjoyed the fire pit at night and the quiet mornings on the deck surrounded by trees. We hope to return someday!

Spectacular!

Tree House Ridge is stunning! The amenities are top notch, the Knoll family thought of absolutely everything you may need on a vacation and more! The accommodations are beautiful and so well kept. The welcome gift was an unexpected treat and made us feel right at home. We couldn’t help but to relax, unwind and take in the gorgeous nature setting with all of it’s sights and sounds. The birds greeted us over morning coffee on the balcony each day. The property is breathtaking and close to all that northern Michigan has to offer. We are looking forward to visiting in the fall and winter! Thank you, Ashlee, Jess, Patty and Fred for hosting us and for your friendly welcome and quick communication. Can’t wait to return!

Family trip

This propery is amazing! Its is exactly as described in the listing. We booked this one to be secluded in the woods and also close to Manistee Forest for hiking and closeness to Traverse city. This cottage is so beauitful anf clean as well as its equipped with everything you would need and more. You only need to bring food and clothes. The communication prior to the property was amazing and the check in was a breeze. I would HIGHLY suggest this property and if you dont pick it you are truly missing out! I will definitely be booking here again!

About the host

Hosted by Ashlee Knoll

Host profile image
This project is a builder and engineering dream, initiated by a father-son duo, Fred and Jess Knoll. Together with their wives, Patty and Ashlee Knoll, a plan was developed. After countless hours of planning, designing, engineering, and feedback, the Knolls pushed forward to making their dream a reality.
By trade, Fred is a dynamically talented builder and finish carpenter with over 40 years of experience. His son, Jess was raised around construction and heavy equipment, and is a large scale equipment operator. They joined their professional abilities and construction backgrounds to make it all happen.

Why they chose this property

Tree House Ridge is the first of its kind in Michigan- with the goal to build 10 unique and self-contained 500 square foot tree houses, each located within a beautiful wooded site, sculpted around majestic hills, and each with its own breathtaking view of natural Northern Michigan beauty. This concept has been successfully implemented in other parts of the United States, but this is the first of its kind in this area.

What makes this property unique

Groups and families, both small and large, will enjoy this peaceful setting. You don't have to be outdoorsy to stay in a treehouse. It's the perfect destination to unwind and unplug. While some enjoy spending their days outdoors golfing, boating, hunting, fishing, sightseeing, skiing, and hiking, others like to go on wine and cider tours, shop, and attend destination weddings and family reunions, and much more. We will open our treehouses as their construction is complete with the goal of completing 10.
