quiet and still has the fresh wood smell. my sedan didn’t struggle much making it up the mountain. enjoyed the hot tub and pizza maker, even though we failed making ours.
My family's stay at the cottonwood treehouse in Treehouse Grove was simply amazing! It was whimsical, magical, and full of wonder with gorgeous views from every window. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids), and my kids loved the loft! It was also perfectly equipped with everything that we needed. I loved the option of an indoor or outdoor shower with mountain views! The staff were incredibly accomodating and made sure that our stay was extra special. I would highly recommend for a romantic getaway or family adventure.
