The Cannaley Treehouse Village is the only public treehouse village in the country, creating an experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. Treehouse Village includes six-, four- and two-person treehouses plus three raised platforms attached to trees for tent and hammock camping.
The treehouses have electricity with heat and air conditioning. There restrooms and shower facilities are nearby.
A large common treehouse available for day uses, a group gathering place around a campfire, connecting boardwalks, a canopy bridge and a crow's nest complete the charming village in the trees.

The four private treehouses and three tent/hammock platforms are available to rent for overnight stays. The common treehouse may be reserved for daytime and evening (but not overnight) group gatherings. And for that truly special event, the entire Treehouse Village may be reserved – available 4 weekends per year.
To ensure opportunity for a broad segment of the population to stay at Treehouse Village, an occupancy cap will be established for traditional rentals. Monday and Tuesday nights will be reserved for community outreach, programming, camps and subsidized stays.
The Hub had the composting toilet removed. Very nice cabin with fridge and microwave. Electric outdoor grill on deck. Space to park bikes by front door. The coffee shop/brewery hosts food trucks on weekends. High winds were forecasted for my stay. Aside from a few sways you couldn't tell it was windy. Park office called to let us know we could reschedule if we wanted due to wind.
Bathrooms were kept clean and heated. Showers were very nice located by brewery.
Stayed at "The Nest". The space is very cozy. I would really like to stay there in the spring or early summer.
BYOB: Bring your own bedding
This was our anniversary gift to each other! What a great way to sit back and relax in nature! I did not post all the pictures I wanted to so that way you can go see for yourself how awesome these little tree houses up to the big tree houses are! Kid friendly, and CLEAN! No pets, 🚭 no smoking 25ft from tree houses, so you don't have to worry about that! they do provide a small fridge with a freezer, microwave, electric grill (outside), and a sink. Also, bring your own linen and water! not far from town either! Beds were SO COMFY
My mom and I stayed in The Loft for her birthday, as it's close to her house and been on her bucket list since they were built. In summary it's a great place if you bring kids, not so much if you don't.
It's a weird mix of hotel and cabin camping. Huge fridge, microwave, pizza oven, but have to walk elsewhere for bathroom and even further for shower, bring your own water and bedding, no real amenities beyond binoculars in the room (ex Keurig with no cups).
- BRING YOUR OWN BEDDING - that was definitely not listed in the very lengthy instructions, good thing mom lives close by
- bring your own water too and utensils etc
- no kindling or firestarter for the communal fire pit, so bring those or hope someone else did if you want a fire
- close to town so you'll hear trains and airplanes all night, not a very emersive woodland experience
- couldn't figure out the internet, but there definitely was some because of the smart tv
- the tree flooring in the loft was not good, very uneven and slippery in socks, big hazard for small kids and older adults
- no curtains up in the loft bed, and the stairs to get up there were steep and slippery and noisy
- beds were very very very firm
It's pretty obvious that the place was built for looks not function (for example ceiling fans couldn't stay on without the lights being on).
If you have kids this is a great place to let them run around and have fun, but if you're childless go to a real treehouse through Airbnb in Kentucky or Tennessee that has better views and plumbing, for similar pricing. That's on our bucket list now, since this one was disappointing.
We didn't really know what to expect until we got there. The fact that we had to bring so much stuff to stay in a small tree house had me second-guessing it. It turned out to be a really fun weekend, and we will definitely go back in warmer weather. There is a micro brewery on site, but we didn't get anything to drink. Nice large area with swings and chairs to have a fire, but no alcohol is permitted outside which is understandable if kids and families are staying. All in all, we had a fun time with basic necessities and no TV for two days. I highly recommend this place!
