The outdoor area has plenty of room and privacy for a family or small get together with a nice level space to sit next to a fire pit. There is one outdoor toss game so far but plan to add more games outdoors. Inside there is a spiral staircase to the loft bedroom but there is also a couch available downstairs that turns into a single bed. The loft has 1 twin long and 1 queen size bed that are both very comfortable, extra pillows and bedding are available. There is extra bedding and board games in a drawer under the twin bed. There is 1 tv that can be seen almost anywhere in the treehouse however there is no cable, internet or WiFi do to the location it’s simply not available, cell service is limited however this is not why you are staying here at all. There is a small kitchen with most of the things you would need to cook meals and a good size refrigerator. There are cleaning supplies under the sink just in case they are needed. The bathroom is very nice and has ample room to get ready for anything from hunting to a wine trail tour.
