Play games or catch up on work on the live-edge table.

Chill out and take in the delightful views from the front porch.

Just outside the living room, prep and cook your meals in the outdoor kitchen, sheltered from the elements by a gazebo and surrounded by fresh air and nature. Cook on the gas grill (with supplied propane), in the countertop oven, or on a 2-burner stove unit. You’ll also find a hand-washing station with sink and prep space.

And dine right there at the table in the gazebo.

Just 10 meters beyond the treehouse is 2 km of riverfront and shared swimming raft, where you can swim, fish, splash, float, canoe, or just chill on loungers and watch the river flow.

Experience the best of nature amid rolling hills and the winding river.

In the evening, make memories around the firepit by the gazebo.

After a full day of fun in nature, climb the ladder to the bedroom, where you’ll find a queen bed and, tucked under the eaves, a full-size bed, both with new mattresses and linens supplied. A pull-out couch in the living room provides an additional sleeping accommodation.
