You may have gone camping under the stars, but have you ever gone glamping in the treetops? It’s one sure way to find tranquility, privacy and fun in a unique experience that will make memories for a lifetime with friends and family. Here is just a sampling of some of the treehouses available for your next big adventure.
TreeLoft at BaseCamp
Nestled in the woods of a 120-acre farm, you’ll find TreeLoft at BaseCamp, perfect for a romantic getaway. This luxury treehouse for two features a gas fireplace, skylight over the king size bed for night sky gazing, with a remote solar shade to keep you sleeping in the morning hours, a rain shower, soaking tub and plush robes. The kitchen offers an indoor/outdoor coffee bar and small appliances for all cooking needs. Outside is a hot tub amongst the towering Eastern Red Cedar trees, with a separate deck for grilling, and a firepit.
The owners say it is their hope that upon your stay you will be reconnected to nature and to the one you came with. “We created the TreeLoft with an inspired state of mind, and we are hopeful that the same inspiration will be experienced and reflected during your stay. There is very limited cellphone service, no WIFI or television at the TreeLoft with intention to truly allow our guests the authentic experience of disconnecting. Slow down, breathe deep, nurture and hopefully, just maybe, you’ll leave more awake to the life you must step back into.”
