One of the best getaways anyone could possibly find.Quiet, beautiful, clean, everything you need while not being far away from a small town. Can't recommend this place enough. After just one hour, my wife and I said we need to come back here at least once a year if not more.Even though the weather was against us being in the upper 90's in September, sitting out on the porch you could barely tell.....such a great place and can't wait to see this in the winter time!!!!

This treehouse was perfect for a quick little getaway! Everything down to the smallest detail was perfect! The owners have truly thought of everything! It was spotlessly clean had everything in the kitchen you could think of and need and the view and hot tub were fantastic! Checking in and out was easy breezy too. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Great spot for a romantic retreat!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! A beautiful place built on a beautiful property; we enjoyed the hot tub under the stars and the morning coffee on the porch (and another hot tub ). Great place for some R&R, and excellent communication with the owner in advance. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

This is one amazing property! Every detail is well thought out and it is the perfect place for a couples getaway. It is clean and spacious and we enjoyed the outdoor spaces as much as the indoor ones. Host was responsive and everything was a breeze in regards to check in and check out. We would and plan to stay here again in the near future.

Perfect setting for a short getaway. The house is nicely appointed with added amenities and perfect for couples. The house was lovely and we took advantage of relaxing on the bed by the pond and the hot tub. We would recommend this property to our friends and family and hope to return sometime.
