Great stay!!

The house was lovely and very well stocked and the location is great. There were only 4 of us and we could have easily shared with another family and not felt cramped. The property is private and I hope to go back in the summer and enjoy the awesome decks. The owners clearly care about their guests experience. They checked in with us and gave us lots of helpful tips for places to hike in the area. Thanks for a great stay! We will be back.

Absolutely fantastic. Stunning views, thoughtful touches, luxurious stay. Barely had a chance to take advantage of all this home offered. Hot tub, board games, corn hole, well stocked kitchen, balcony space to enjoy the scenery, even a beautiful sauna. The property is gorgeous, the interior is spacious, perfect for my whole family to stay for a family wedding. Owner is very communicative. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely seek this home out of we're in the area again. Photo shows a view of Mr. Hood from the upstairs bathroom.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Eckhardt

Host profile image
Treehouse is my dream home. It has been a special place for our family and has been a successful rental house for 2 years (on various platforms). During this time, we've been honored to allow guests to enjoy this magical space. Usually people stay with us for family gatherings, or special events such as weddings in nearby venues. It feels good to be able to give guests such a unique and special experience.

Why they chose this property

I grew up as a boy in a big city, and always dreamed of a place like Trout Lake. The fresh air alone just makes me smile and rejuvenates my spirits. The neighborhood is extremely private, but kind to each other.

What makes this property unique

So many things! The heated floors, the awesome views, the space, the privacy! I've seen UFOs at this property and the area is well known for this kind of activity. Also, the property is extremely private, has its own trails, and has an easement for a cemetery for some of the original settlers in this region.
