One of a kind Treehouse on the Genesee River

Our 12 feet off the ground and grid treehouse provides a unique experience. Living area has a kitchen counter with sink and camping stove. Bunk bedroom has custom build bunkbeds with windows and tree ladder. The bathroom is uniquely designed with barnboards, fish sink and access to the outdoor shower. A pull down ladder (see picture) gives you access to the sleeping loft with a private balcony and large windows to a gorgeous view of the woods and field. The treehouse is now powered by Solar and has regular 110. A firepit and a grill are available. You can take a 1/4 mile trail walk around the property and visit the private river access. We have seen numerus wildlife at our property like deer, turkeys, squirls, chipmunks, rabbits. We are 1 mile from the Genesee Greenway, 25 minutes from Letchworth State Park, on the Route 19 Bike Route, 30 min from Swain Ski Area, 45 min from Ellicotville/Holliday Valley Ski Area and home to Bare Knuckle Boxing History. Three miles up the road is a kayaking launch spot to finish at the Treehouse location or leave from the Treehouse location to kayak about one hour north to next launch. Bring you fishing pole!

Bug Infestation
My girlfriend & I wanted to go on a private getaway from the hustle & bustle of the city. When we arrived, we found 54 flies (I counted as I killed them). They were all over the living room, the bedroom, they were everywhere. When I contacted the property owners, they acted like they had just checked on the place the day prior, which was an obvious lie. The solutions they provided was a bug zapper that would have spent all night trying to get the flies during my private getaway with my partner. It was the farthest thing from the desired start we wanted to have. We spent the first 2 hours killing all the flies and proceeded to have a good stay. I provided pictures and videos to the owners and they ignored my messages until I mentioned I was going to leave a review. They acted like they did their part by offering a solution, when in reality, they should have prepared the place for their guests properly. The cabin functions really well (except for the shower which does not produce hot water, only cold). The false advertisement is in the cleanliness of the property. The hosts did not provide any financial remedy to the situation. I kid you not I have a picture of 20 flies on the window of the bedroom. They do not care about the experience of their customers, which is quite a shame!

Exceptional Experience
My wife and I very much enjoyed this property. It’s a beautifully rustic cabin that’s literally 20 feet above the ground in the trees. It’s set back in the woods but not far from the road and the town of Belfast. The place is well-built and very clean. You will need to bring outdoor chairs, your own towels and warm clothing if it’s in the cooler months. It was a great experience.

Great for short term, hunters and small families.
Absolutely a treehouse and really cool concept. Definitely unique. Saw deer, some black bears. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this is a great place to unplug and unwind and listen to silence. Couple negatives, fridge is downstairs(but it works so no complaints from me). Had to use a lighter to light the gas range, once again, works and no complaints from me. Maike made sure a couple of traveling workers felt at home and had what we needed. All around 5 stars for me. Be sure it suits your need is my only warning.

Liked but not loved
We did enjoy our stay however we felt a lil cheated. The first picture is not accurate. It shows what we thought was an outdoor kitchen area. There isnt such. It was just a regular 3 burner propane grill, no counter space like in the picture. The grill also did not have a full tank. We did really enjoy the river however you need water shoes its very rocky.

Needs tweaking
Plumbing was a challenge because couldn’t wash dishes without boiling water and didn’t want to wash ourselves or brush our teeth with the smelly water. Also, the propane only lasted 2 days; was dead on 3rd day (probably because of boiling water). We enjoyed the solitude, even though the road noise is present. All in all it was a pleasant couple days as we lucked out with beautiful weather.

Great craftmanship but too many problems
I really wanted to give a higher rating, but there were just too many issues. We were prepared for a more rustic experience as I had read the listing and previous reviews. And we knew the water would not be potable, but we couldn't even wash our hands in it as it was a dark brown color and the sulfur smell was very strong. There was a Dollar General nearby where we could stock up on more water. There was a very mild breeze the first night and we were all awake all night due to the very loud rattling and creaking noise from the windows. I could not open either door without a struggle and the propane cooking oven only worked intermittently. The craftmanship was great and the owner very responsive when we had questions.

Cute but with a catch
Stayed there for a weekend getaway. The shower is outside and doesn’t really have much privacy. The house leaks water when it rains past the tree holes… woke up with the floor flooded by the morning. Those same hole let in big and especially the cold, it was freezing inside the whole time, Also ran out of power by have a single like on for no more then an hour. Could flush the toilet, no water, no light nothing. The entry way/driveway is absolutes brutal with pot holes a ditches every few feet. It’s a cute place as long as your more open to almost camping then renting a house.

Personal and romantic
This is the perfect stay for simple people who just want to get away and connect to each other. There is a ladder to get to the higher level…. It’s a tree house people, it shouldn’t bother you. My wife and I stayed for 2 days in the early fall and loved every minute of it. Will do it again for sure!

We stayed as a family of four for two nights and used the treehouse as a base to visit nearby Letchworth State Park and further away Watkins Glen State Park. The treehouse is beautiful and really a great experience for our kids. They were so excited and said it was like staying in something from a Ghibli movie. It really is a magical place. The treehouse has electricity, a cooking stove and oven. It has hot water, including a shower. The host was very kind and clear in her communications. We highly recommend!

Unique Experience
The Tree House was an exciting experience that was unlike any other camping trip that we have taken. The cabin was the perfect size for the 3 of us and was very clean. My daughter loved the unique bunk beds and I enjoyed the outdoor shower and the deck at the top of the tree house. If you are looking for a rugged camping experience (with a bathroom!), this is the spot for you.

Great get away
Spent a couple days with my sons ages 9 and 3, they loved the treehouse and the surrounding property. The layout of the cabin was perfect for a couple adults and small children. It was a warm week so we were prepared with a battery operated fan to help keep cool at night. Everything else needed was on site. Terrific stay, looking forward to going back next year.

Stayed here with some friends recently. The property is amazing. Unique craftsmanship. It’s very secluded and quiet. Highly recommended if you want to feel like you’re camping but still have some basic amenities.

Awesomeness
The property was amazing. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship of the treehouse. Extremely solid. Nice little walk through the the woods on a path to the Genesee river. Rained all day one of the days and we were able to sit comfortably and dry underneath the treehouse so still experienced the outdoors instead of being inside. Highly recommend.

Description is accurate. If you are looking for an off the grid, glamping experience, this is a great place to stay. The outdoor shower wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be but it was the end of May and pretty warm even at night.

We had a great stay for the weekend, the only complaint we had is the charge box started beeping after me an my husband had our phones charging for about 10-15 minutes and blinking red. After that we were unable to charge our phones at all. Which wasn’t a big dealbreaker we still enjoyed everything else. Finding the tree house was a little hard but the owners were super helpful and sweet. Any questions we had they were right there to offer help so it was great. The only thing we would recommend is bring your own supplies like shampoo, soap, hand soap, dish soap, a couple packs of water etc. it truly is a treehouse so don’t expect it to be extravagant modern home because it’s a beautiful treehouse. It’s camping just indoors. We should have been more prepared for sure but we still had a great time it was fun. Thank you again for opening your beautiful treehouse to us.

Incredible stay
We just got home after our stay with our daughters. We had such a wonderful relaxing time! We found the property matched exactly what the description was. The tree house was clean, cozy and one of a kind. We took our own drinking water, towels, food and coffee like suggested. We made food on the grill and used the fire pit (take your own camping chairs). The location was beautiful overlooking a field and just a short walk to a stony river front where we painted with our girls. We took board games and puzzles and books. It was so nice to unplug. The owner was very kind and great with communication if we needed anything at all. We look forward to our next stay at this dreamy location. Our girls are already asking to go back. PS The front door locks from the outside only so we just locked that door at night from the outside and then went in through the shower entrance and locked that door to feel secure. The upstairs loft was definitely warmer than the downstairs but we opened a couple windows and it evened out. There is a USB port for charging devices located behind the sink area.
