Memorable family getaway!

This was an incredible stay! Fred, Patty, Jess, and Ashlee thought of every detail and comfort as they designed and outfitted the treehouses. It was sparkling clean and welcoming. We were here for a bike weekend and we’re 45min from TART trails of Traverse City, Sleeping Bear heritage trail, and Betsie Valley trail. Great stay, highly recommend!!!

Nice property in a private setting

A luxury room in a private forested setting. If you are looking to "get away", this is your place. Well appointed with everything you might need furnished. Very quiet and peaceful. Only downside is that it is several miles from civilization (as advertised).

Treehouse

The treehouse was absolutely spectacular. The owners thought of everything that we could have needed. Last night of our northern Michigan trip was here and it was the perfect ending.

Beautiful, relaxing, and Peaceful

My husband and I came to celebrate our 21st Anniversary. It was such a relaxing stay, we enjoyed walking the property, watching the wildlife, and sitting on the back deck. The Knoll family add quite a few nice extras that were a nice suprise. We can't wait to come back.

BOOK THE TREEHOUSE!

This was the best rental property we’ve ever stayed in. The treehouse was exceptionally clean, and the owners thought of every detail- bottled water, s’mores kit, firewood, bathroom supplies, baggies, k cups, etc. The house was so incredibly cozy and the perfect setting for an adult weekend away. So quiet and peaceful and still pretty close to lots of area attractions. Great communication with owners and easy to find. We will definitely return again- maybe even with our kids- they would have loved it also.

Wow. Well appointed

What a little gem. Immaculately clean. Owners have thought of everything and they will completely spoil your kids with thoughtful goodies. Beds comfortable. Kitchen is stocked. A great spot to rent to just relax and cozy up in. River canoe/kayak spot is about 10 mins down the road from here that we enjoyed. 30 mins to Frankfurt for a beach day.

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,

Treehouse fun!

We loved our stay in the trees. The house was completely stocked with everything we could need and it was a cozy, sweet, relaxing getaway in the woods. It was quiet, and beautiful, and calm. I definitely recommend it. Suggestion: As for specific directions to the house as my phone directions did not get me there.

First class tree house

We stayed here 2 nights in Oct. The treehouse has everything you need and more! Everything is first class and so clean. It was tastefully decorated, comfortable and cozy. There were great outdoor areas too like a balcony with table, grill, chairs and a front porch with more chairs. They provided s’more ingredients, water in fridge and so many conveniences. Beds are comfy, nice pillows, furniture. It was close to drive to area attractions too. We will return!

Perfection in the woods!!!

Stay here!!! I am beyond impressed with the treehouse and it’s location. It is beautiful and so well thought out. There isn’t an amenity you need that isn’t there. Everything about it is wonderful! The hosts, the location (so much to do) the treehouse itself. I can’t say enough about how perfect everything was. For some this will be a once in a lifetime, for me I plan to stay once every season and then repeat.

The pictures do not do this place full justice, it is absolutely beautiful! As soon as I pulled up I was in love! Super up to date, extremely comfortable, impeccably clean! Forgot something? That’s ok they probably have it available to you there. I only wish I had more time to stay longer! Simply perfection!

My Wife and I stayed 4 days in July, 2025 and enjoyed every moment in "The Trees" ! Ashlee and family had everything covered from firewood to laundry soap ! Cable TV, Wi-Fi and AC unit performed perfectly. Inside and out this Tree House is nicely crafted, decorated and well maintained. Peaceful and quiet and within a 30 to 45 min. drive to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Crystal Lake and the Wineries. Skiing, concerts at Interlochen, it's all nearby. We loved making our own meals in the well appointed Kitchen and enjoying them outdoors on the deck ! We also enjoyed nature in it's truest form from the trees to the wildlife including an unannounced visit from "Yogi" the Black Bear. If you desire a peaceful getaway with nature this "Gem" is for you ! Thank You for the wonderful visit and looking forward to a return trip !
