Treehouse · Sleeps 8 · 1 bedroom · 5 bedsThe Little Birds Treehouse is a multi-level fantastic treehouse nestled within three oak and two maple trees on a wooded sloping hill. It is an all season space, great for Fall and Winter stays with it's heated and insulated rooms, and also perfect for Spring and Summer, nestled into the forest where it stays ten degrees cooler in the shade of the deciduous canopies.
Entering the lower level through a 12' bridge, you get to a large deck for picnicking and lounging about under the trees. The ground quickly slopes away from the treehouse and by the time you climb the stairs to the middle living room level you are already 16' off the ground when sitting on its back porch. This gives you relaxing views to watch the deer and other animals walk by down below, with the birds and owls flying above.
The living room has a pull out sleeper couch (sleeps 2), and a double loft (a twin bed and a child size mattress). It has a small table and chairs, and a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, induction cooktop, and a sink with hot and cold water. Cutlery and plates are provided for your convenience as well as basic cooking ware. From the back porch you can enter the separate toilet room with a state of the art composting toilet.
The lofty upper treehouse level is the main bedroom which you climb an outdoor spiral staircase to get to. It has beautiful canopy views from it's front porch and sleeps 4 with its double bed, and twin size bunk bed.
The grounds around have a stone fire-pit with split log seating with views of the stars through the clearing in the trees.
Nearby towns like Port Jervis and Milford offer great downtown walking/shopping/cultural experiences. There are rafting and canoeing opportunities along the Delaware just a few miles away. And there is also a great award winning playhouse during the Spring and Summer called the Forestburgh Playhouse and Tavern (https://www.fbplayhouse.org/) that is a 7 minute drive away. Come see a show or a dinner cabarets and then retire to your treehouse for the night.
For those Eco conscious travelers out there, the treehouse is made comfortable and energy efficient for all seasons, with no fossil fuels used for heating or cooking. The whole structure follows Passive House building principals, and is internally wrapped with 9" of hemp insulation, very efficient windows, an energy recovery ventilation system for optimal fresh air, and super tight airsealing all around for comfort from drafts and the cold. A small electric radiator in each house is enough to maintain very comfortable indoor winter temperatures.
