About this property

Handcrafted NH Treehouse · 2hr Boston · Fire Pit, Lake, Stargazing

Two hours from Boston, tucked into 1,000+ acres of New Hampshire forest, our handcrafted treehouse is built for two people who want to actually hear themselves think. Gavin built it by hand in 2020.

We greet you with a bottle of wine and a cheese board. Cozy loft, fire pit, wraparound deck, pitch-dark stargazer skies. Lake access a mile away.

WELCOME TO NEW HAMPSHIRE TREEHOUSE LIFE

This is a retreat for two — the kind of place where the only thing on your schedule is watching the sun set through the trees. Gavin built this treehouse by hand in 2020, and we've been welcoming couples, writers, and quiet-weekend-seekers ever since.

INSIDE THE TREEHOUSE

Cozy loft with a queen bed under warm wood beams
Gas fireplace for atmosphere and chillier nights
Kitchenette with convection oven, fridge, sink, and coffee maker
Full private bathroom with a hot shower
Fiber Wi-Fi (79 Mbps) — if you want it. Most guests don't.
Air conditioning for warmer months

OUTSIDE

Wraparound deck among the trees — sunsets, coffee, quiet
Fire pit below the deck
Binoculars for spotting deer and wild turkeys
Pitch-dark skies for stargazing — often the Milky Way

A WELCOME FROM US

We'll greet you with a light grazing board so you can exhale on arrival without a grocery run:

Bottle of wine
Hummus, cheese, and crackers
Coffee and yogurt for the morning

Where you are

2 hours from Boston

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway in a remote location this beautiful treehouse in NH is the ideal spot. My wife had always dreamed about a getaway in a cabin during winter since she is from a tropical island. Being a treehouse, this was an added bonus. Very impressed with the amount of detail that went into the design. The hosts were extremely gracious and even allowed us to check in early since we were driving all the way from FL. Would love to come back and experience it in the summertime. Highly recommend this place if you want a romantic getaway to unplug from the world.

Treehouse Getaway

We had a lovely night away from stress and obligations in the peaceful treehouse. The sound of the morning rain on the metal roof was poetic. The snacks left by the owner were a thoughtful touch.

My husband and I are outdoor kind of people and this was the perfect place to stay. The property, location and design of the treehouse were beautiful. The owners were so nice and easy to communicate with. The treehouse is so unique, clean and cozy. We are certainly planning on coming back again! Thank you for the perfect mini get away for our 10 year anniversary!

Unique place!

We had a lovely stay at the tree house. It's an unusual and well-designed place (so impressed with the construction!) with private access in the back yard of the hosts' house. It's not a large space but great for two people, and we found it very comfortable and enjoyable. There is a lovely view from the balcony out across the trees. The tree house is warm and cosy, with all the facilities we needed for our short visit, and it was a great base for our hiking plans around Mount Monadnock. An extra treat during our stay was deer in the yard one morning (and turkeys). Some notes: Pics are a little out of date in terms of contents, there is more than shown (especially in the kitchen area) Wifi is good! There is no TV (but see Wifi....) The kitchen area is small and the only cooking appliance is a toaster oven. We made it work but if you like to cook meals you may want to bear that in mind. There is also an outdoor fire pit that can in principle be used for cooking, but we didn't try this. The stairs to the bedroom are steep, we were fine but might be a challenge for some.
