Your hosts, Tom and Lisa Wallace, are delighted to welcome you to The Chez Tree Rest Treehouse – our two-story treehouse nestled in the heart of a 20-acre hardwood forest. The treehouse is gracefully perched beneath a heavily canopied scenic hillside, elevated 35 feet above the forest floor, supported by two towering Maple trees. As you traverse the 60-foot cable bridge leading to the treehouse, you'll feel the stress and cares of everyday life melt away. This enchanting 150-square-foot retreat is a haven of pure magic, providing the perfect setting for a romantic getaway high up in the trees.Our treehouse is located on 20 acres of hardwood forest just outside of the sleepy village of Lafayette, NY - 10 miles south of Syracuse, NY and 24 miles north of Cortland, NY. Just a very short drive to wine country and the Finger Lakes region. As you arrive at the property, you will find large burgundy sign that reads The Chez Tree Rest Treehouse. The sign is lighted if you arrive after dark. To the left of the sign, you will see a gate and a gravel road which leads down a 1/4 mile drive to the treehouse. The treehouse itself is accessed across a 60' cable bridge. There are only a few (7) stone steps which lead down to the bridge and then it is an easy walk up to the treehouse. Below the treehouse is a large, (320 square feet), deck with a fire pit and ample seating. The deck also provides the location of the shower (with on demand hot water) and a propane BBQ grill. There is also a separate fire pit area below the treehouse which has plenty of seating and a stone edged fire ring. In the summer of 2022, we replaced our generator with a permanent source of electricity. This has been a big improvement and allows guests more options for lighting and powering up amenities and accessories. There is hot and cold potable running water for the outdoor shower and sink in the kitchenette. There is a convenient, tiny bathroom in the treehouse with a composting toilet. There is also a small mini-fridge with a small freezer. There is also a small microwave for your use. There is a great deal of outdoor relaxing space on the treehouse level as well. There is approximately 80 square feet of decking connected to the treehouse. In addition, there is a separate 12' octagon deck that is anchored on a separate tree connected to the main deck by another 30' cable bridge. For cooking, we provide a propane camp stove. Perfect for bacon and eggs. There is also a small microwave oven. There is also a BBQ grill on the lower deck below the treehouse. Coffee can be made by use of the provided Keurig coffeemaker, (coffee pods are provided). There is also a French Press and a traditional percolator. All the pots, pans, silverware and other utensils you should need will be provided. Let the trees gently sway you to sleep amidst the soothing sounds of hoot owls and the babbling brook.
