Lodged in the Trees

Our guests commonly say they’re swept up by the combination of spaciousness, natural beauty, and elegant design found upon stepping through the doorway of Lodged in the Trees. From the Great Room’s vaulted ceilings and rustic cypress columns and trusses to the magnificent stone fireplace and large windows bringing in wonderful natural light, you’ll feel the true spirit of R-and-R embracing you immediately.

Posh and comfy living room couches and chairs provide fireside seating for sipping wine or simply chilling out to a movie or show on the large flat-screen TV. Hungry for a meal or snack? The high-end kitchen is fully equipped to help you serve up scrumptious food with joy and ease.

When your group feels it’s time for a formal meal, there’s a lovely dining room with great views to enjoy while sharing tasty vacation food together.

Another popular gathering spot is the upstairs family room, with a cool game table, a dedicated laptop space, and more super-cushy places to sit, read a book, chat with your group, or simply do some peaceful reflection or meditation. Did we mention there are not one, but TWO 4-season porches, both handsomely furnished, in which y’all can relax and share some time being serenaded by the countless neighboring birds in the area?

All four super-comfy, richly appointed bedrooms offer warmth and elegant lodge styling you and your guests will love, plus high-quality bedding and linens to ensure a sound sleep and sweet dreams.

When you emerge from the hot tub, there’s a wonderful firepit on the stone patio just a few steps away, where you can enjoy a glass of your favorite beverage, listen to the birdsongs coming from the majestic trees encircling the property, or simply count stars with your family or friends.
