Eco Friendly Treehouse Retreat

Discover our one-of-a-kind 4-story treehouse nestled on 37 acres. Hike scenic trails through the forest and find a fully equipped kitchen and bath on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor bedroom offers a comfy hideaway amongst the trees. The real gems are the 3rd and 4th-floor decks with panoramic views spanning 40+ square miles of hills & valleys. Catch mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets and falling stars! The treehouse uses 100% rainwater and some solar power for an eco friendly experience.

***Note*** The staircase is located outside. You'll be walking on a covered stairway to get from downstairs to upstairs.

Welcome to Our Sustainable Treehouse::
Discover our 4 story eco-friendly treehouse fully designed and built by hosts Marlena and Eugene. Enjoy a bottom floor kitchen and bathroom and sunroom, 2nd floor bedroom, 3rd and 4th floor rooftop decks, fire pit and loop trail through the forest. Although there will be no retreats or events happening during your stay, the treehouse is within 100 feet of our retreat center and separated by a privacy fence.
**Note for 2024 Eclipse**: While the treehouse is its own private listing, it is within close distance to our event center, where there will be 13+ other eclipse enthusiasts staying and camping. While we will strictly enforce quiet hours, if you're outside the treehouse, there's a high chance of hearing voices and laughter and, if you're looking, seeing others.
