The Space:

Our guests commonly say they’re swept up by the combination of spaciousness, natural beauty, and elegant design found upon stepping through the doorway of Lodged in the Trees. From the Great Room’s vaulted ceilings and rustic cypress columns and trusses to the magnificent stone fireplace and large windows bringing in wonderful natural light, you’ll feel the true spirit of R-and-R embracing you immediately.



Posh and comfy living room couches and chairs provide fireside seating for sipping wine or simply chilling out to a movie or show on the large flat-screen TV. Hungry for a meal or snack? The high-end kitchen is fully equipped to help you serve up scrumptious food with joy and ease. With stainless-steel appliances, a Chef’s gas stove, a pro range hood, wraparound stone countertops, and all the primo cookware you could want, you’ll be able to fix up a great meal whenever the mood strikes! Morning coffee lovers? The breakfast nook is your hangout, but be aware—the Keurig habit may never leave you, as we provide only excellent coffee fixings for our guests! When your group feels it’s time for a formal meal, there’s a lovely dining room with great views to enjoy while sharing tasty vacation food together.



Another popular gathering spot is the upstairs family room, with a cool game table, a dedicated laptop space, and more super-cushy places to sit, read a book, chat with your group, or simply do some peaceful reflection or meditation. Did we mention there are not one, but TWO 4-season porches, both handsomely furnished, in which y’all can relax and share some time being serenaded by the countless neighboring birds in the area?



All four super-comfy, richly appointed bedrooms offer warmth and elegant lodge styling you and your guests will love, plus high-quality bedding and linens to ensure a sound sleep and sweet dreams. Deluxe ensuite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, access to 4-season porches, and beautiful woodland and private ravine views are some of the bedroom highlights, as well as plenty of closet and storage space.

Here at Lodged in the Trees, you’ll relish having lots of outstanding outdoor amenities to choose from, starting with a year-round relax-to-the-max hot tub on a covered lower deck right outside the main floor’s 4-season porch. While peacefully soaking away, you can take in the splendor of the tranquil surrounding woods, remembering why a vacation is so desirable in the first place. When you emerge from the hot tub, there’s a wonderful firepit on the stone patio just a few steps away, where you can enjoy a glass of your favorite beverage, listen to the birdsongs coming from the majestic trees encircling the property, or simply count stars with your family or friends. Anyone hankering for barbecue? We’ve got you covered, as there’s a spacious upper deck with a fab gas grill, ready and waiting to get fired up for making a delicious meal. Want to swim? You’ll have seasonal access to the Camp Buffalo community pool, just a short walk away. Guests of Lodged in the Trees also have access to Camp Buffalo's pool, pickleball courts, playground, outdoor theatre, and clubhouse areas for personal recreation use.
