Peaceful getaway

We had a short weekend getaway here and it was top notch. The hosts have thought of every detail to make the stay amazing. We stayed with our daughter (8) who is in a wheelchair and was pleased with the accessibility of the cabin. Our 4 year old loved the great selections of DVDs and games and toys. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and peacefulness of the forest. It was amazing to stand on the deck and see nothing but trees and hear NOTHING. Thank you for the wonderful experience,

our treehouse getaway

We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more! The treehouse was a perfect getaway for our family of six to get away, slow down and soak up some time in nature. We absolutely loved it. Cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. The thoughtful design and use of space was awesome. The host went above and beyond, everything we could think of was covered. We enjoyed a lunch out at the Iron Fish Distillery, in one of the base camp tents. Had a dinner at The Laughing Horse Saloon and enjoyed countless hikes on the beautiful property. Highly recommend Tree House Ridge! Thanks for having us!

Beautiful location

We enjoyed everything about our stay! It is literally in the middle of the forest - which is what we loved about it! The hosts added thoughtful touches and thought of everything! It is nicely decorated and you can tell was made and furnished with higher quality materials and furnishings. I hope we are able to stay again! Highly recommend for anyone! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Ashlee Knoll

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 final of ten to hopefully be completed by 2025.
