Sleeps up to 13 in 4 serene bedrooms with eco-memory foam beds and luxurious bamboo sheets. Each bedroom converts to a king bed if desired. Three spa-inspired bathrooms, two with clawfoot soaking tubs and rain showers.
Gather at the teal and gold kitchen island. Hand-oiled cedar wood accents, dimmable brass pendant lights, dishware for 30, an L-shaped bar feeding 6–8, and a modern oval table seating 6–8 more. Dual hot water heaters ensure endless supply for your whole group.
Outside, the ancient Happiness Tree presides over cedar picnic tables handcrafted by local artisans, a charcoal BBQ smoker, and a stargazing patio with turquoise chairs.
The Happiness Tree is a magical 900-year-old oak, with an awe-inspiring tree net built into its lofty branches which can hold 20 people. Made of double-reinforced parachute cord — each single strand holds up to 500 pounds. Laced together, it's strong enough to hold an elephant.
Twirl in swings, dangle from a hoop, or picnic in the treetops. This breezy perch remains cool in summer. A stable wooden staircase with rope railings creates safety for even the most timid adventurers. Below, cedar picnic tables handcrafted by local artisans and a charcoal grill.
Ideal for classes, ceremonies, bridal showers, sleepovers, or just hanging out and dreaming. Every one gets a natural high in the branches of the Happiness Tree.
