Other things to note
This is a true treehouse experience—accessed via stairs and elevated above the ground.

The twin bedroom is accessed through a trap door—fun for kids, but may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns.

The cabin is surrounded by wildlife—you’re likely to spot deer daily and hear owls or frogs at night!

We provide basic pantry items like oil, salt, pepper, vanilla and coffee, creamer and sugar, but feel free to bring your favorites.

The treehouse shares the neighborhood with other Red Roof Retreats—ask us about booking multiple properties for groups!

Red Roof Treats camp store is open 24/7—text us for the code and grab snacks, supplies, or souvenirs.

Spa-La-La, our mini spa, is almost ready! Treat yourself to a little pampering during your stay.

The WiFi is strong enough for working remotely or streaming, but we recommend taking breaks to enjoy the view!
