Shake up your normal lodging and stay in a treehouse!

Treehouse living

Remember all those Disney and Nickelodeon shows where the kids had cool treehouses as a safe space away from their parents/guardians? Where they could plot out secret missions and adventures, and have a designated meet up spot if things went awry? 

Growing up, I always wanted that experience, I always wanted to plan out mischievous activities with my childhood friends all while sitting in a mounted treehouse. Call it a childhood fantasy come true because recently I was able to partake in a wonderful weekend of treehouse adventure and fun.

How’d it feel?

It was like staying in a cabin, but cooler. Ever been on a cruise, where you can feel the water swaying the entire ship back and forth? Well that’s how it felt in the treehouse. Because of the suspension height, there was a lot of motion when walking and climbing the stairs.

Amenities

Everything you would get at a hotel:

  • Queen bed downstairs, two twin beds upstairs 
  • Bathroom with toiletries 
  • Microwave 
  • Coffee/Keurig maker
  • Mini fridge 
  • Clean bedding 
  • Wide jacuzzi 
  • Towels 
  • TV and DVD player
  • Oh yeah, an AMAZING view, can’t get that from the Ritz

Outdoor excursions

This place had ziplining, rock climbing, beautiful nature trails and great hospitality. We had an amazing view filled with peace, serenity and fun.

Benefits

Close to home: It took about an hour to get there from Atlanta, no heavy traffic and simple roads to follow. 

Seclusion: Not many people were on site and we were able to have the full treehouse “neighborhood” to ourselves!

Safe getaway: COVID-19 is still pandering to all of us, so if you’re looking for a socially distant stay away from others, this is a great option.  

Scenic beauty: Everywhere you turned was gorgeous. I got up early the next morning to talk to God on a direct trail behind our treehouse. It felt like our own personal safe haven of private property.
