This property has been in my family for three generations. It is classic Connecticut with hills and streams and stone walls.
The octagon is a private 122 ft.² that is electrified and heated. It has a full size bed, cabinet and table with chairs. It sits next to a brook on 56 acres of forest with a pond, small waterfall, marsh and 2 1/2 miles of hiking trails. There is a fire pit and outdoor dining area next to the octagon. We also have a propane outdoor grill and propane two burner camp stove. Out house with composting toilet close to octagon is heated. A great place to rejuvenate in the forest! Dogs welcome.

My husband and I loved staying at Treehouse!! If you are looking for a magical place in nature, look no further! The Treehouse is a very private and tranquil spot in the woods that is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city life. The hammock was by far our favorite spot to relax in and gaze up to the sky. We had perfect weather for hiking and the trails are well marked and maintained. We even got to see a deer while out on the trails! Nighttime is meant for fires and the fire pit area with tiki torches is beautiful and relaxing. We came back home recharged and refreshed. Bert and Nancy are incredible hosts with the most positive energy! They thought of every little detail and Bert was very attentive just in case we needed anything, but not intrusive. I am pretty sure we over packed lol Can’t wait to book our next stay!

This has to be one of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed…I haven’t even been home less than 24 hours and have requested to book another stay on this serene property!
Nancy & Bert have created a tranquil and magical property where one can come to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Nature. They have thought of every detail to make it such a smooth stay. Get ready for owl calls, moss-strewn hikes, artistic touches & an amazing time.

Weekend Trip to Water Forest Retreat
After a must needed retreat this was the place. Bert and Nancy are the sweetest couple. Upon welcoming Nancy and I met with a warm hug she greeted me, which felt like family. My heart ❤️ goes to this beautiful property. My eyes were in just such gratitude seeing this land. This is a great taste of New England too for 🐟 Nancy and Bert are so kind and generous ☂️multiple things they have already prepared son you can pack less. Bug spray, dishes, soap 🧼. Love the tripod for grilling.
We would love to be back. This is a great place to make memories with our family. ✌🏻Don’t forget the Trails! Excited for that next. 🍄🌲

Pleasant, attentive, detailed hosts! Nancy made sure we are comfortable and showed us everything. She was so prepared, staying at her tree house is like staying in five stars hotel! Clean, all and even more than enough all essential supplies you’ll need to stay comfortable. Easy to reach and communicate if you have any questions. Gorgeous, peaceful place to visit, stay and enjoy. This is definitely a come back place! Thank you very much for doing such a great business.

It was fantablious. Nancy and Bert are wonderful. The greeted us with a warm welcome, helped us carry our luggage to the tree house, brought up a tent to put over the fire pit so that we could enjoy a fire at night and cook out without getting wet. 😊
