West Pawlet House | Vermont Treehouse compound: no cleaning fee. Spend a few days In the Trees

5 Bedroom House in West Pawlet

THE VERMONT TREEHOUSE COMPOUND, available only for dates between June 1st and Oct. 20th.
Detail summary: The rental is a two treehouse compound with cooking/eating pavilion (only cold water at the sink, hot water can be made with pot on the stove), shower (also only cold water), firepit (I provide firewood), etc. A reservation includes up to 2 guests, additional guests over the 2 are $30 per person per night up to a maximum of 11 guests during the warmer months (July, August, mid Sept) and 5 guest total during the cooler ends of the season (June and mid Sept and Oct). The 11 guest number is only relevant if there are 3 couples (since 3 of the beds are double beds)
Everybody loves the idea of a tree house. There is something freeing, natural and connective to our childhood in the idea. Feel the gentle movement of the structure as it sighs with the wind. Imagine a life off of the ground..... even if only for a weekend. And enjoy the rich sounds of the woods as it becomes your living room.
This two treehouse compound is organic in its feel and design, with living trees intermingling with the structure inside and out. Made from all local materials or reclaimed elements, it seems out of time as though you took a turn and found yourself in the pages of a story book. Don't be surprised if Gnomes or Elves drop by for tea.
The Hermit-Thrush treehouse practically disappears in the woods like the particularly enchanting song of the namesake bird. There is a double (full size) bed on the first level and three single beds on the second level. Perch on the first or second floor porch and listen to the living woods. The windows all have screens. There is even a composting toilet right in the tree house for your convenience. This treehouse is for use during the warmer times of the season, mid June to mid Sept. It sleeps 5 maximum.
The covered pavilion, a few meters away, has electricity (as do the treehouses themselves), lights, it has water, a sink (only cold water, hot water can be made with a pot and the stove), gas stove, propane BBQ, refrigerator, complete set of cooking/eating utensils, and there is a large table to eat or converse over. There is a natural fire pit to enjoy as you watch the sun set in the West. An outside shower (also only cold water) completes the picture. A short walk through the woods to a neighboring field offers excellent star gazing on clear nights.
The Hermit-Thrush Treehouse now has a partner in the woods of Vermont. The Morning-Dove Treehouse.
After surveying many of the guests that enjoyed their stays at the Hermit-Thrush I came to the conclusion that if anything were to change in that magical spot, it should be in the direction of making more beds available so that guests could invite larger groups, entire families or even two couples that could benefit from greater privacy by having separate quarters. My quandary was making this endeavor worthwhile for myself while not putting an experience to commune with nature out of reach for couples or people in general.
What I came up with is a price structure that is very affordable for couples or individuals to come and an affordable per person per night increase for bringing more people.
.
The Morning-Dove is a three season treehouse. It has insulation and can be closed up snugly. The Morning-Dove sleeps 6 maximum in the warm part of the season and only 5 in the colder ends of the season (if you want heat for those colder nights there is a $15 per day fee to cover the cost of propane for the gas fireplace/heater. Ask the host about this)
Now people can enjoy the earlier spring days as well as get a glimpse of the fall colors. There is a larger living space so that guests can congregate together out of the elements. The Morning-Dove sleeps as many as 5. Six if the outside nest bedroom is used in the warmer months (all screened in). The Morning-Dove has two double beds, and one single bed and the nest has a single pad that an individual bringing a sleeping bag could use.
Both treehouses are equal distance from the cooking pavilion and each has an indoor toilet as well as the outhouse by the pavilion.
Keep in mind that both the Hermit-Thrush Treehouse and Morning-Dove Treehouse are artistic and rustic structures, designed to give a feeling of freedom and organic interaction with their surroundings. Due to these ideals, some safety considerations are not present or reduced. For example, railing heights and spacings are irregular, stair treads and rises are irregular, ladders to bunk beds are free form, terrain is uneven and steep, hammocks are over uneven and hard surfaces, all porches and decks are high elevation over hard surfaces, as well as other considerations not mentioned here. The treehouses are not recommended for very young children requiring supervision or for individuals experiencing mobility issues. All guests will be required to sign a waiver of liability upon arrival in order to stay.
Due to the fragile nature of the environment around the treehouse and my strong desire to keep the location as pristine and natural for you and the next guests, dogs are not welcome (as much as I like dogs). If you have an older calm dog that is not a digger, does not tear around the woods, would not feel compelled to chase the multitude of chipmunks and squirrels around, then by all means, make the case to me that this would be a good fit (in such cases, there is a $50 per stay fee).
In summary, the treehouse compound is rented out in its entirety. Two treehouses, an outside shower (cold), an open air cooking pavilion, a firepit, hammocks, an outhouse toilet and a composting toilet in each treehouse. The compound can accommodate a total of 11 people in the warmer part of the season and the colder ends can accommodate only 5 guests. Privacy is still an important focus of mine, so even if only one guest comes to stay, they will be the only one present at the treehouse compound. This spot will make a permanent impression on you.

Summary: So amazing! Two treehouses to double your fun. Such a creative and magical stay. We felt like kids sleeping in the treehouses. It was especially magical reading while laying in a hammock while the Fall colorful leaves fell around me.

Summary: My family and I had wonderful time at Rik's Treehouse! We were impressed with all the details and fun elements added to make this place a unique yet comfortable hideaway. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the woods, having campfires and playing games connecting as a family. We hope to return again next year! Thanks for having us:)

Summary: Rik as a host is very lovely. He gave me a great orientation to the property and left us alone unless we needed something. The treehouses were so amazing. What a vision and what fun it was to bring my kids imagination come to life. I was initially concerned about what to do for 5 days there but he was very resourceful and gave us many ideas. 5 days flew bye so fast. We went to lake george, lake st. Catherine and oh jumped off the quarry in Dorset 3 days in a row. Manchester was fun too. The only hope i have for Rik is please cut the shrubs in more because the road leading in was narrow and it scraped up my car a bit. The kids loved it and hope to go back.. thank you for all that you are and for your imagination. It was fun! Bring a cooler for all your dry foods is my only recommendation. totowasalso
