Carpentree Treehouse - 18 min from Highlands
Summary:
A creative spin on the classic A-frame at Highlands Treehouse Retreat, this treehouse rises with four peaks, echoing a cluster of mountain ranges. Inside, intricate carpentry details honor the craftsmanship of its builders, while features like the indoor net loft and kid-friendly play area make it just as fun as it is beautiful. Comfortable for up to 4 adults and 2 kids, this treehouse is equal parts adventure and relaxation.
The Space:
With 600 sq. ft. of indoor space and 880 sq. ft. of decks, the Carpentree blends cozy cabin style with playful treetop design. The showstopper? A massive 400 sq. ft. suspended outdoor net that leads to a dreamy “love nest” lookout - perfect for stargazing high above the forest.
Guest Access:
Each guest will enjoy access to the property’s amenities, including the Treetop Playground, Self-Service Boutique, and Natural Spa with Sauna & Cold Plunge (available November 2025).
