Our story began in the fall of 2019. It was a time when I quit my full-time job to stay home with our children, Denver and Shiloh. We started discussing our dreams and future goals for our family. My husband, David, has always had a skill for building, and I, Casey, enjoy hosting and creating an inviting environment. We wanted to use our gifts to bring joy to others but did not know where to start. After watching "Treehouse Masters" on television one day, it gave us the idea to build a treehouse in our backyard. It would be a chance to open our home and invite people worldwide to experience our little oasis.
The work began in the beginning of January 2020. David spent every evening after work and weekends building this unique structure. Our children were involved and watched the whole process, which was very special for us. Our family and friends pitched in to help whenever they could. We spent much time at antique shops, hardware stores and lumber yards. The treehouse was completed in December of 2020. We call it The Treehouse at Pine Meadows because of the enormous pine trees in our backyard.
There is history within the walls. The windows are from an 1800's historic home in Savannah, Georgia. The floors came from an old cotton mill in Canton, Georgia. We found a stained glass window at a local antique shop and were told it came from a historic church in New York. We are intentional about the feel and experience of our guests. The small touches and details are important to us. We offer robes, a heated toilet seat in the outhouse, fresh flowers from our very own cut flower garden and even a "celebration package" for anniversaries or birthdays.
Once guests arrive at our property, follow the outdoor string lights along the pathway and walk up the hand-crafted staircase that leads to a vintage front door. Inside, you will find a queen bed, a 100-year-old cabinet and an antique chair from an old parlor. Enjoy sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee in rocking chairs that look out into our meadow.
Relax on the bed swing underneath with a gas fire pit while listening to birds chirp. Turn on the outdoor fans during the hot Georgia summer or enjoy Christmas lights inside and outside the treehouse during the holiday season. We also wanted a place where guests could be creative and make memories. We have had multiple photographers use our treehouse as a backdrop for photoshoots. My personal favorites are the weddings and vow renewals.
It is a blessing and joy for our family to participate in this journey, from building the treehouse to meeting new and wonderful people. We look forward to more adventures at The Treehouse at Pine Meadows!
