Peaceful walking trails with a fun and relaxing treehouse to stay for the night. We enjoyed the experience and exploring the property The owner is absolutely fantastic and attentive. Looking forward to our return and the dog Paris
My family had a blast staying in the Captain’s Quarters treehouse, wishing we were staying longer! My boys absolutely loved exploring and hanging out. We would definitely stay again!
The treehouse was so great and definitely exceeded our expectations! Even in sub zero temperatures we were cozy and comfortable. The space fed our imaginations and was a perfect natural hideaway for our family to spend quality time together, play games, explore the surrounding woods, and bask in the creativity and carpentry of our shelter. Thank you Bob for being so friendly and available. We made great memories here!
Such a fun adventure! Quiet woods, lots of privacy, which was important given the open air shower. Bob was a fantastic and responsive host. Really enjoyed our stay.
We loved it here. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful - Bob was great to chat with and very knowledge. The outside showers were fun and had warm water! Highly recommend relaxing at Ten Acres Treehouses! !
What an awesome place they’ve built! We would stay here regularly if we lived closer. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The host is excellent. Our kids loved the place. The only downside was the previous guests smoked inside the treehouse, despite there being strict no smoking rules. But we would definitely stay there again.
My sisters and I stayed for my birthday & we had such an amazing time. So peaceful & the fall colors on the trees & Paris & goats! Can't wait to plan our next trip!
This place was great! We brought our 18 month old with for our anniversary weekend trip an we all had a blast. We had everything we needed an the property was beautiful even at this time of year, we got to walk the trails an see the goats one day an relax inside warm the next after it had snowed all night.
My partner, and I decided last minute to plan a quick weekend getaway and found this gem! It was the perfect way to unwind and relax! Don’t forget to stargaze! The skies are beautiful on a clear night!
Additionally, our host was very communicative and friendly.
My wife had our forst weekend getaway since our kid was born. It was exactly the vive we were looking for. Rustic experience with modern amenities. Compost toilet wasnt a big deal and the outdoor shower made for a fun experience. We plan in going back oneday and taking our son with us!
I brought my son and dog here to stay in the “treehouse” and we had a great time overall. The seclusion was perfect, just the right amount of trails and Bob is a great host and helpful. Thanks!
This was such an awesome place to get away. It’s secluded and private. It was the perfect experience to get a night away from kids and work and just city life. We will definitely be coming back.
