- "We loved out stay at Nancy's cottage. It's right on the lake, and the description is exactly as expected. Great lake access, wonderful porch to sit on and relax. Very clean. Kitchen has all the essentials. Bedrooms were comfortable and simply equipped. Nothing fancy, just a comfy, cottage feel. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom and shower are great. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. Neighborhood was quiet and very friendly. Folks out walking waved as we drove by. Plenty of kids around, and the cottage is near a public park and what appears to be a public boat dock. Nancy has all the water toys you might want to use. We never did, but it's available. Highly recommend, and would love to stay at her place again in the future. Thank you so much!"

We would stay here again if we even needed a place in this area." - "Very nice! Comfortable bed, everything brand new!" - "My husband and I enjoyed staying at this secluded small property.

- "Tha cabin was a perfect Christmas setting. The owners had lights and decorations up. There was snow and an open fireplace. Gorgeous setting. Would definitely go back!" - "Several friends and I stayed for a long weekend and hosted a shower one afternoon. The cabin couldn’t have been more perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone, great amenities, it was comfortable and the scenery was beautiful. Almost everyone there said they now want to find an occasion to rent it for themselves. The hosts were friendly and helpful. I’d absolutely stay again."

New Update! Wood walkway to Rogue River! Small deck and chairs to sit by the river and fish or just relax!
Unplug and get back to the beauty of nature in this unique house amongst the trees. Custom built to view nature!

It is so romantic to be with your special person and just sit up in the top space looking out at the trees with the flickering candles.

It is such a special place to bring your child to spend quality time with them with a bonfire and playing games as a family. They will never forget it!

Another great thing is to come for a guys or girls getaway with friends! Enjoy coffee or a glass of wine while relaxing in nature together!

Power
We are now excited to offer limited solar power! We have solar lights outside for the path and lighting around the home. We now have a propane powered generator to offer as backup power when the solar power is not enough because of a cloudy day, or running the mini split and more energy needed.
We have lots of battery operated lights in the home also! We cannot allow flame candles or smoking because of a fire hazard. We have fire extinguishers in the living room for safety. We have a drawer in the bedroom with battery replacements. If they run out message us and we will drop some at your door.
We have battery operated portable fans and my husband and I open the slider up top and the window under the stairs and it cools off the home.

Heat/Air
We have a mini split system in the bedroom that can be used for heat or air conditioning. We have a 30,000 BTU InfaRed Heater on the wall. The tree house has just recently been insulated.

Compost toilet usage
When we built this I told my husband in no way were we going to have the toilet hooked up to the house! I figured there would be a smell like a portable toilet. My husband convinced me there wouldn’t be and I had to admit he was right. There is a hole in the bucket so no liquids stay in it. The solids are covered by cedar so it surprisingly doesn’t smell bad! After using the toilet just scoop cedar chips over it and you are all set. If you need us to empty it because it smells let us know and my husband will be happy to come out and empty it! :) lots of new experiences living off the grid.
If you really hate that idea we do have a toilet in the bathroom where the shower is, in the house near the pool.

Utility sink
The water that is run to the sink is from our home hose bib so is safe for washing of hands and such. We have large bottles of water under the coffee machine so feel free to use those for drinking and coffee.

Sleeping arrangements
We have a pull out Queen Futon with a comfortable mattress in the living room. We have sheets and blankets for it next to the sofa in a basket.

The main bedroom has a queen bed with linens provided.

We have a twin air mattress that could be used for the downstairs room or the 2nd floor. The second floor isn’t as big as the main floor but could squeeze one there. We have a lockable gate at the top of the stairs so that would protect anyone from falling down them.
Stairs
Please watch young children when they are on the 2nd floor. We have a gate at the top of the stairs but they could go out on the deck and we would like them to be supervised if they are on the deck. Make sure children know it is not safe to climb on anything on the deck.
We have a cedar baby gate at the top of the stairs and can offer a gate that can clip to the stairwell at the bottom.

Cooking
There is a quality grill outside of the treehouse. Utensils and grill cleaning brush are provided. If you don’t see them let us know and we will bring you another one. It may have been just misplaced. We have paper plates and plastic silverware available in the small cabinet inside the cabin. We will also have seasonings available.

Mini refrigerator available in bedroom.

Keurig Coffee maker
My husband and I love relaxing with our coffee in the morning while we lie in bed looking out the windows at the birds. As I write this he just saw a deer. We have kcups, sugar, sweetener, and original coffee mate creamer.

Bonfire pit
There is a bonfire pit available with wood. Please watch your fire and the surrounding areas of it. We named our house bear Smokey because only you can prevent forest fires! My daughter’s cute idea!

Bug Spray
Use bug spray! We are in the middle of the woods and mosquitos love it here. We will have some available if forgotten.

Golf cart
We do have a older golf cart that we use to run back and forth with. We are willing to allow you to use it to bring things back to the cabin and during your stay because it is a ways back and so fun! If you desire this let us know ahead of time and we can meet you when you get here and to show you how to use it if needed. I will send you instructions, but sometimes can be tricky for some. The only rule will be no children can operate it for safety reasons.

Pool
The hosts live at the house at the street where the parking area is. There is a 24 ft above ground pool you will have shared access to. It is swim at your own risk and there is a locking gate that will need to remain latched for safety of others. We do have an exterior entrance to a bathroom that can be used for guest purposes for showering or additional toilet usage. There is also a washer and dryer that could be used as you enter the bathroom. We will have a lock on the inside of the bathroom for your privacy. We leave it for guest use only during your stay. So freely use it when needed. We do have a golden retriever/lab mix. He is very friendly but is only 2 years old so is excitable still. It may be possible you could come across him in the back yard when swimming or walking to the bathroom but when guests are here we will try to keep him out of the backyard pool area.

Property

Our 5 acre property butts up to the Rogue River and thousands of other acres of land. We are so excited to now have a a wood walking path halfway to the river! It is about a 450 ft walk to the river from the treehouse. Often in the Spring and Fall it can be very wet in the back woods area because it is near the river. We are rural yet still have somewhat of a residential feel. It is the perfect balance! Who doesn’t need restaurants and pizza?!

We have a walking trail from our house to the cabin please be careful when you are walking as with all woods there could be tripping hazards. It is about 450 ft from the parking area.

Please be considerate of our neighbors or we will not be able to continue to operate. We do have a neighbor a few houses down that does work with machinery on his property at times. Most of the time all you hear are birds and tree frogs but can’t guarantee complete silence always.

There are fallen logs, and rough terrain not on the walking trail so if stray off the trail tread carefully and children should not be unaccompanied in the woods as it is very easy to get turned around or lost. Also as in all woods watch out for poison ivy, oak etc. Remember leaves of three let them be! It’s a good rule. I would always recommend long pants in the woods!

- "We loved our weekend getaway at the treetop hideaway. The house was cozy and equipped with everything we might need. Annette’s communication was great, as she made everything smooth and easy for us. This is a place we’d absolutely return to!"
