Treehouse

Location for a weekend on the wine trail was perfect. Although the spiral staircase is a bit cumbersome, we would definitely consider this location again for hiking and a weekend getaway!

Quiet get-away

The house was quaint and delightful, creatively arranged. We enjoyed the stay…our age would probably keep us from returning. Navigating the circular staircase required extra care…but fun and innovative for younger folks. We had just a bit of a challenge in getting to the right place - the address given didn’t match the property, but was quickly resolved.We would recommend the location - lots to do in the area.

What a Gem!

We had an amazing time celebrating our anniversary at the treehouse! Derick is an excellent host and you can tell he has put his heart into the property. We loved truly disconnecting and waking up in the woods. The treehouse was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our relaxing get away! We will definitely be back.

The Best Around

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights on our birthday weekend and Derick’s Secluded Treehouse was perfection!! It has a kitchen that is stocked with all the cookware, flatware, and silverware you could ever ask for, no need to bring anything like that with you. The bathroom, lounge area, and loft bedroom are comfortable and extremely cozy. If you’re a small group looking for a place to stay, look no further. Book with Derick, you won’t be disappointed!!

A Perfect Little Spot

Went for our 25th Anniversary. 4 nights, 5 days. It's EXACTLY as it's listed and photographed, plus so much more! Host put everything together so thoughtfully, and beautifully, down to the smallest detail. It felt like host thought of every little thing a guest could potentially need or want, and BOOM! Wish granted! And don’t get me started on the amazing fresh roasted coffee that host provides for each morning!! So great, top notch!! Cannot wait to go back! Thank you Derrick ❤️
