Star-Gazer LOTR Treehouse. Mordor corner.

This treehouse-like structure sits atop a hill in rural Minnesota. It contains 53 windows to bring the outside in: stained glass, leaded glass, and skylights. The floor is comprised of wood rounds and the grout is scattered with colored mica. A spiral staircase leads to a loft. On the main floor is a full kitchen, a gathering space, a gas fireplace, and a queen Murphy bed. A dumbwaiter brings guests luggage up to the top. A secret garden lies below: an enclosed space, it holds a fire pit and a fountain. Snow shoes and sleds are provided for winter.

Also on the land, visit our Mordor corner, featuring the great eye of Sauron, fun signs and warnings, and a surprise when you open the Mor Door.

Inaccurate Description
There truly are so many things to like about this property. It is very unique and unlike any place I have ever stayed; however, we were disappointed in the overall experience with the space being so small. The website states there are two bedrooms with 2 full beds and a twin hideabed/loveseat. The whole space is open so not much sleeping privacy. There were 2 full beds and then a reclining sofa and not much space to move with 3 adults and a dog. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the large deck, though it is very close to the highway so there was a lot of traffic noise. While this is a cozy stay for 1 or 2 people, more than that is cramped and uncomfortable.

Great charm. Bad beds.
There is an endless number of things that are amazing about this property but unfortunately we were unable to stay both nights due to how poor the beds were in our location. It was beautiful, it was romantic, and there were a lot of things about that place that made us want to go back but unless the beds are upgraded we will not be able to return. We had a very difficult time sleeping and the amount of back pain that we experienced throughout the night only grew worse and by the next morning we could barely move. I'm really hoping that the owners take this opportunity to invest in better mattresses so that one day we can come back again.
