Come visit our sweet little treehouse in the woods. Our property is just steps away from the bustling historic town of Gold Hill, a destination for tourists and road bikers alike. The treehouse is a glamping experience with just enough amenities to keep you comfortable. Food - Bring your cooler with food supplies or take out in Boulder before you head up the mountain. Or grab a coffee, pizza, snack or a glass of wine at the Gold Hill store. If you'd like a full service dining experience, make a reservation for a 5 course meal at the Gold Hill Inn. What To Do: Walk around the historic town of Gold Hill. We promise you will be entertained. Ask a local about the museum, the cemetery, or the historic two room school house, or any other favorite spots they have around the area. Love the woods and nature, but would like a little action? Attend a local live music concert at the Gold Hill Store or the Gold Hill Inn on a beautiful summers night. Drive to Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park to explore for the day. Boulder - 20 minutes Nederland - 35 minutes Estes Park - 45 minutes The Treehouse is furnished with Queen size bed and plenty of blankets to keep you warm, but feel free to bring your sleeping bag if you prefer. A roll out twin size feather bed for the floor is available upon request if you have a few more folks joining. We provide a portable toilet with WagBags. Please always pack out all human solid human waste. Gold Hill Store offers a toilet for a minimal fee and the Gold Hill Inn has a toilet for customers. A camp stove is available for outdoor use. The camp stove and the propane heater both use 1 lb propane canisters, so feel free to bring your own fuel to cook and keep you warm. A can of propane is always available for your use of the stove. * A note to novice campers and regular hotel patrons: Though you are in a shelter, you are still exposed to the elements. The treehouse is not insulated. Wind, bugs, and critters may all be a part of the variable treehouse experience mother nature has planned for you. If you are not comfortable camping, getting dirty, swatting flies, being too hot, being too cold, hearing the noises of animals at night, waking up to the sound of magpies, and who knows what else, this experience may not be for you.A sweet little treehouse in the woods.  Just steps away is the bustling historic town of Gold Hill, a destination for tourists and road bikers alike.  Grab a coffee, snack or a glass of wine at the Gold Hill store.   Make a reservation for a 5 course meal at the Gold Hill Inn.  Views of the Continental Divide and Longs Peak from the treehouse deck make for amazing sunsets.   Attend a local live music concert at the Gold Hill Store or the Gold Hill Inn on a beautiful summers night.  Hiking trails abound, including two that abut the property.   The Treehouse is furnished with Queen size bed and plenty of blankets to keep you warm, but feel free to bring your sleeping bag if you prefer.    If you would like to use the provided Mr. Buddy heater, please bring your own 1lb propane cannisters for use.

The treehouse offers a magical experience, perfectly blending rustic charm with comfort. Guests rave about the stunning mountain views, cozy interior, and the peacefulness of waking up to the sound of birds. While the lack of modern amenities like electricity and WiFi might be a drawback for some, it provides an ideal setting for those looking to unplug and enjoy nature. Overall, the unique experience, combined with the warm hospitality of the hosts, makes it a memorable getaway.
