Listing highlights

Self check-in

Check yourself in with the lockbox.
Unique Treehouse apartment in center of the city. This new construction space in my backyard was built as a toxic-free, super energy efficient, natural, healthy, foam-free project. Beautiful views and quiet space in the trees offers a perfect retreat or long-term stay.

The space
Building The Roost has been a labor of love for me and my community of friends. The purpose was to build a beautiful structure that focused on natural, healthy, and local materials where possible. Many have contributed to it's success, and the result is a unique and beautiful, peaceful and healthy structure. Every time I enter The Roost, I love the fact that the only smell is that of wood!
If you're interested, I will be happy to go into details about the materials we used, such as the cork siding, the cypress posts that hold The Roost up to it's lofty position, the locally made formaldehyde-free plywood, or the efficient HRV ventilation fans.
The Roost is located 9 feet in the air and only has access via stairs. You can enjoy the cool breeze of the trees from the deck, where you also get a great view of the sunrise. The kitchen includes a two burner induction cooktop, refrigerator, and toaster oven. The bedroom area includes a large built-in closet storage area with plenty of hanging space, drawers, and a storage place under the bed for your luggage. The bed is a Queen size all- wool mattress tucked into a cozy bed nook! And the full bath includes a tub and shower.

Guest access
The Roost is located behind my house, and you will have access to parking in the drive just under The Roost.

Other things to note
I designed The Roost to optimize storage. So it's a great place to stay long-term! It's also just 2 miles north of downtown Greensboro, and close to hiking and biking paths. It's also very conveniently located to Wendover Ave and Battleground Ave which takes you to most places in Greensboro.
If you're interested in a long-term stay, inquire about it even if it seems like all your dates aren't available.

My work: Inhabit Sustainable Living Solutions
Lives in Greensboro, North Carolina
I live in Greensboro, NC. I worked for Habitat for Humanity as a construction supervisor for 14 years before starting my own business. I now spend my time focusing on eco-friendly and natural building projects here, and I have even helped to build 3 straw bale houses for low-income families in Moab, Utah. I spend my spare time with friends,reading or learning, cooking, hiking and traveling. I have recently become an international traveller, and I love it!
