Lovely stay in the woods
We really loved our stay at Chris's place. Everything was clean and updated. The beds and furniture were super comfortable. We were welcomed with a delicious bottle of wine and my husband and kids really enjoyed the classic Nintendo. My favorite part was the fire table on the deck. Best of all Chris was super communicative throughout the stay. Thanks Chris!

A hidden gem! Perfect tree house getaway. Peaceful vacation!!
My husband and I, plus fur baby stayed here for 3 nights. We wish we stayed an extra night! The house was nicely furnished, beautiful kitchen (so lovely!), and has a privacy, wraparound deck! Oh, how nice it was to be surrounded by pine trees lol. What I loved the most was how quiet, secluded and peaceful the place was. Stargazing on the deck was absolutely amazing! From hiking, checking out rivers and nearby creeks to spending a day at the lake, we had a blast! 3 days was not enough. We are already thinking about another stay! The host (Chris) has been so communicative from booking to check out! He is very responsive and want to make sure you enjoy your stay. In addition, Chris was very accomodating!! Thank you so much, Chris! :) This house is at the top of my list of VRBOs that we’ve stayed at. A GEM! I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a wonderful stay at the Tree House Chalet. Just what I was looking for, surrounded by trees, so very quiet and peaceful. Ahh, perfect! Even the weather cooperated, warm but not scorching hot. And my husband had a great time driving up the driveway! Thanks so much.

Relaxing Getaway
We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for family time as well as areas for peace and quiet. I brought my portable Level 1 charger for our EV to charge in the garage during our visit. Great communication from the host from beginning to end. Tip: Bring insect repellant because you'll want to be outside enjoying the firepit or hot tub in the evening.
