About this property

Meadowlark Treehouse at Montana Treehouse Retreat

Montana Treehouse Retreat: As Seen Featured On: Instagram (@mttreehouse) , Zillow, DIY Network, HGTV, Time, Outside Magazine and beyond. Nestled on 5 wooded acres, this artistically designed two story treehouse has all the luxury amenities. 



Within 30 minutes to Glacier National Park, minutes from Whitefish Mtn. Ski Resort. Best of both worlds if you want to experience Montana nature as well have access to activities in Whitefish and Columbia Falls (within a 5 min drive). Glacier Park International Airport (GPI) in Kalispell is 7 miles away 



The setting is perfect for a quiet writers retreat, honey moon or romantic getaway, or an unforgettable family trip to Montana with your own wooded acreage. Our property is the best of both worlds as you can be in town in Whitefish or Columbia Falls within minutes, but still like you have your own private setting in the woods. There are currently 3 treehouses on site on our property. 



Treehouse #2 (The Raven's' Nest A- Frame Treehouse) is approximately 100 feet from the main treehouse. We have situated the treehouses so they still maintain their utmost privacy having decks and seating areas facing their own private wooded space. 



The treehouse grand entrance is a spiral staircase custom crafted around a giant Douglas fir tree. This treehouse has 500 square feet of living space with 2 outside deck areas, the common room has a 2nd spiral staircase, full kitchen, dishwasher, stove and 3 lush padded benches to entertain (the 3 benches are each 24 inches by six feet long) which also double as sleeping quarters. 



There is no “roughing it” in this treehouse. The first floor has a full bathroom with a full sized shower and sink. 2 living trees grow through the treehouse interior and 2 living trees are through the treehouse decks! 



The master suite loft has a queen tempur-pedic mattress leading out to the 2nd story treehouse deck through a sliding glass door for the most relaxing space to enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee overlooking your private wooded setting. The master suite loft also has a private 1/2 bathroom.



This is not a wedding venue. While we have very simple elopements on property (usually the couple and a photographer + officiant), we don't advertise our property as a wedding venue. Guests beyond those booking need to be approved and if there is to be an event held on property, it needs to be communicated prior to booking to ensure the communication is clear for both parties. 



We are happy to give you suggestions for local attractions, services and more but you will have complete privacy here. Best of both worlds! Close to all of the fine dining and good eats that Whitefish has to offer and nearby attractions but set in a 5 acre private forest setting that feels like you are far away from it all. From the treehouse you feel completely secluded in your own private wooded Montana paradise! Watch deer from the treehouse deck and listen to natures symphony of birds and crickets. 



This is a must once in a lifetime vacation that you will never forget! A car is a must here as we are in a rural setting but there are great road biking options straight out your door (seasonally of course). No pets please. The treehouse is a great place for an unforgettable whimsical family vacation for your kids. We love kids. Please keep in mind, however, that or treehouse has 2 spiral staircases and to make sure your children are safely monitored while on treehouse decks. 



We do not allow guests to stay in the treehouse when the winds are gusting over 30 MPH. We will communicate with you directly if this is the case and will refund your night of stay and help you find alternative lodging in the event of a high wind storm. 



Absolutely NO Smoking on treehouse decks! Evidence of smoking on decks will cause you to forfeit your security deposit.

Will be back

This is a great treehouse! Will share positive experience with others. Well thought out details and a great home base to go explore neighboring areas and parks. Glavier national park is a must. Avalanche trail is a picnic trip. Pack a lunch and enjoy the views at the end.

From dream to reality

I had an incredible stay in this treehouse. Loved everything about it. Each day I wanted to just stay there like nothing else was out there to do. Was the highlight of my trip. I think I enjoyed the house more than I enjoyed Glacier NP. Close to the park & other great areas. I'm still in awe at the construction & layout. Love the beautiful spiral staircase entering. Decks to sit out on and enjoy the woods. Private, safe and very relaxing. Kati was very responsive to all communication. The only thing I found missing was a box of kleenex. Loved my stay & can't wait to return someday. Thank you for sharing your dream. This should be a must do on anyone's list.

Cozy & exactly as described!

Had a wonderful stay - the home is so cute and unique. We came during the "off" season where Glacier Park was closed in a lot of areas but skiing wasn't available yet, but the house was right around so many restaurants, shops & hikes outside of the park. 10/10 recommend!

The cutest treehouse!

We loved this treehouse so much! It was so cute and cozy. We had everything we needed and more. It was beautifully decorated. Kati was very responsive and hospitable and she lived not too far away so she could come help with anything quickly, if needed. There is another really cool, modern treehouse that they also own next door. But we still felt very private in ours. The shower was great, water pressure was perfect, the water got warm quickly. Kati provided coffee and oatmeal and even had condiments and other cooking essentials if we wanted to cook at the cabin. The only minor complaint is that the bed was a tad too hard for us. We had plenty of blankets, pillows and toiletries. It snowed one of the days we were there and it just made the place so magical. We loved it and hope to be back soon! Thank you, Kati!

Magical Treehouse!

When my wife was a youngster her 2 older brothers built a treehouse and would not let her in because she was a girl! So I surprised her with this property for 3 nights and it absolutely met all our expectations! The quality of the design and craftsmanship of this treehouse was absolutely wonderous!

Bucket list experience - exceeded all expectations!

Our stay at the treehouse was absolutely fantastic. It is even better in person, which is hard to believe. The treehouse is perfectly located - you feel remote but you’re a quick 10 minute drive from anything you need. Comfortable bed, great water pressure/heat in the shower and outdoor space (patios, picnic area, etc). The towns of Whitefish and Columbia Falls are super close and fun to explore. Glacier National Park is absolutely beautiful and a gorgeous drive away. Kati and Daren were wonderful hosts. We can’t wait to come back!

Had a blast!

For a small place, they have literally everything you need. I even brought stuff incase and was excited to find everything there. The location is perfect, the place is well kept and relaxing. We had our two kid’s and they loved being in the house. They hung out and relaxed in the morning, which was easy if you wanted to read or catch a movie on Netflix. We look forward to trying their other tree house when it’s done. Both are recommended! Book It:)

Perfect getaway

The treehouse is a unique, well-crafted retreat positioned in a beautiful setting. The owners thought of every detail even providing a French press for morning coffee! We both loved the many windows allowing light in and providing picturesque views from everywhere in the cabin. Kati also gave us great recommendations of places in the area to try when we were out. We really had a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kati O'Toole

Host profile image
Hello, and thanks for stopping in! We are Kati and Darin, your Montana Treehouse Retreat owners. We have dreamt about building a treehouse for quite some time. It wasn't until we purchased our 7 acre property outside of Whitefish, that our dreams started to become a reality. We are both 4th generation Montanans with a true love of Montana and what it has to offer. We enjoy spending our time outdoors in the surrounding areas boating, snowboarding, cross country skiing, gardening and trying to keep up with our 2 young sons.

We were cast to build our first treehouse of the Montana Treehouse Retreat with the talented build team, The Treehouse Guys from the DIY Network. They were on our property for approximately 6 weeks building the treehouse of our dreams in April/May of 2016.


Why they chose this property

We strive to provide our guests a unique and unforgettable luxury stay high up in the trees as a "home base" while you explore the Flathead Valley, Whitefish Mountain Resort, Glacier Park and surrounding areas. Montana has so much to offer. We hope the Montana Treehouse Retreat is the perfect place for you to reconnect with the ones you love, nature, and find some piece of mind. We look forward to meeting you soon!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Close to all of the shopping, dining, stores, airport, activities the Flathead Valley has to offer. Explore in every direction at this amazing private wooded property. You feel like you are out in the middle of nowhere, but can be at the top of the valley's most popular destinations within minutes!

Whether it's mountains, beaches or golf courses you seek, the Montana Treehouse Retreat is the perfect place to serve as your home base while you explore NW Montana.
