trees this cylindrical tree home is part of an epic destination getaway called Treehouse

Bell so that you know every single time we publish a new tour but right now let's take a tour of this
treehouse cabin and meet the owner who's going to point out some of the stunning details [Music]
hello my name is Jake and welcome to the hemlock treehouse [Music] what got me interested in tree
houses really was when I was a kid a family friend of ours had a tree house in their backyard that
they'd built and I was super jealous that I didn't have one jumping forward to now it's
awesome to be able to have four luxury ones that we could share with the world
foreign so other than Hemlock we do have three other tree houses on
the property we have our White Oak we have our beach and we have our maple tree house
our Hemlock Treehouse sits down at the end of our Hollow the thing that our guests love about
the hemlock Treehouse is a circular design I think it's super eye-catching and something
that draws our guests in everybody either had a treehouse when they're growing up or
one other tree house and so it brings out the inner child and everybody a word that we hear
a lot is magical and that's what we're trying to create here a nature experience where people
can come and get away from their stress-filled lives this sort of setup brings you as close to
Nature as it possibly can we want people to create lasting memories in our cabins
[Music]
today we're going to be taking a look at our Hemlock Treehouse this is our most recent
Treehouse and as you can see it is surrounded by hemlock trees so a lot of questions we get at the
tree houses are how do we protect our tree house and all the trees around it from falling on it
so a big thing we do is we scan our entire forest and see what trees are at risk of falling on the
Treehouse so what you can see we've done here is this big Hemlock here is sitting on kind of
the cliff over there so we've attached this wire to this big beech tree that's super secure just
in case that Hemlock is to fall this will catch it and protect our Treehouse from being damaged
I would say the biggest challenge for us in building is just the foundation in building
the structure of what the Treehouse will sit on and we have an amazing team of arborists
and Architects and structure Engineers for them to understand the health of the trees
and understand the root system so we can figure out whether the hardware can sustain the weight
and the distribution of each tree house to each tree So currently we haven't had any trees fall
we're super cautious with everything and we have some amazing technology that goes around each tree
that's able to scan it and see the health of the tree to make sure that all the trees surrounding
the Treehouse are safe to be there as you can see there's 70 steps that go all the way down to the
bottom of the tree house so it's not for everyone but we do have crew members here that are here to
help you guys so anyone that needs luggage or anything taken down at least we have some some
crew members here to to help you down in the 70 steps foreign the best possible experience for
our guests and we know that our guests care about amenities so we have a bunch here for
you so starting here we have our fire pits our crew members get them all set up for you we have
s'mores kits inside that come with everything you need and they are the big marshmallows I
know people love that so this is the first Amanda that we have here at the tree houses
we have our charcoal grills we have our wood burning Cedar hot tubs and we have the Gazebo
up here and the cool thing about the Gazebo is we offer weddings so if you want to get married here
at Hemlock as a couple you can bring a couple family members and get married up at the Gazebo
all four tree houses sleep 18 people and our wedding Pavilion can hold up to 50 people so
a pretty intimate wedding but it's uh it's an amazing experience for our guests so our wood
burning hot tubs are pretty unique the cool thing about these wood burning hot tubs is for starters
they come ready to go they come at 100 104 degrees when you show up and the best thing about them is
if you open this little door down here all you got to do is put some wood in there put some
lighter fluid light it up and then you'll see the smoke come out the top it will circulate it will
bring the hot water in and you guys will be all set and good to go our goal here is to make you
feel as in touch with nature as you possibly can be and we felt that the wood burning hot tubs were
the best way to do that our hot tubs are great for individuals or for couples you can fit one
to two people as you can see you're surrounded by Nature so it is a super intimate experience
now I want to show you guys the tree house we also have outdoor showers and indoor showers but if you
want to enjoy a nature experience as you can see the rock formation is behind us you can take an
outdoor shower as well [Music] now come with me we have a full wraparound deck on the hemlock
Treehouse as you can see there's trees coming through the decking here but if we walk around it
you get an amazing shot of our Hollow that comes through the middle of our property we are nestled
down inside this hollow and the cool thing about the hollow is we have a stream running through it
on both sides you can see the rock formations that are high above the cabin even though it was pretty
difficult to get a build down inside this hollow it was well worth it for our guest experience
foreign as you can see here this is some Hardware that is connected to a Hemlock Treehouse and we
have a couple of these that are around the tree and on the bottom of the base of the tree house
and they support all of the weight of the tree house and these things are rated for super high
winds and these are built to be around as long as a home on a regular Foundation the technology
behind how this works is it's connected to the trees but it's built to be able to move
and sway with the trees if we have some high winds if it wasn't able to sway there would be
there would be things breaking off and so they're designed to protect the longevity of the treehouse
our Hemlock Treehouse has a very circular design which our guests
absolutely love and every part of the design encompasses that even the door in all of our
tree houses here are made of cedar on the outside let's check out the inside
welcome to the inside of the hemlock Treehouse this floor plan is a little
bit under 400 square feet but it has everything you need for your stay so
some of my favorite things are the wood walls matched with the cedar ceiling and
even the little touches you can see the rope that goes around the top the butcher
block countertops we have all the appliances we've got microwave refrigerator stovetop
we even have little Treehouse mugs that we sell here at the property that you can take home with
you and then if you come over to this area you can see one of my favorite Parts about the cabin
when I stay here where I like to relax is this Live Edge piece you can have breakfast lunch
dinner as you look out into the rock formations and all the beautiful hemlock trees [Music]
this way you have another beautiful view from the living room out into the hollow and this
is an awesome space to just sit back and relax get the fireplace going and just take time to get away
so next we'll head over to the staircase and as you can see here we have a tree
trunk that's actually stemming to the top of the tree house and this awesome rope
ladder that we have going upstairs too this is a little bit low so watch your head here
we are in the master bedroom and I think the first thing that that guests feel when they
walk in here is the really tall ceilings even though it is less than a four and a
square foot tree house it feels very spacious and these ceilings even go up to 12 foot tall
the queen bed sits in the middle of this room it has amazing view outside these glass sliders
if you come over this way I can show you a little bit about the reading Nook over here
early mornings and late nights we know our guests love to remove themselves from
all the stress of the world and just sitting here and relax and read their books [Music]
come over here and I'll show you guys the bathroom
coming into the bathroom here you have a pocket door that comes all the way across [Music]
you have a full walk-in shower with a tile shower wall you have tons of
room to move about and you could probably even fit up to two people inside the shower
