Enjoy local wineries, shopping in historic downtown Cape Girardeau, local restaurants, golf courses, historic sites, a riverfront Casino & more!

Please note, this treehouse is adults only with a max limit of two adults. Also, no pets are allowed for safety reasons due to the height of the treehouse.

Perfect setting for a short getaway. The house is nicely appointed with added amenities and perfect for couples. The house was lovely and we took advantage of relaxing on the bed by the pond and the hot tub. We would recommend this property to our friends and family and hope to return sometime.

Just right

My wife and I stayed in this charming little cabin on the first night of our 30th wedding anniversary road trip. It's just the right size for a party of two, located in close proximity to Cape Girardeau. The host is friendly and prompt, and the cabin experience was ideal. It was clean, modern and stylish, with an understated flair that made our stay feel special. We appreciated every little detail.

Charming little treehouse. We wanted a private little getaway that was still semi close and it was perfect. The hot tub, the outdoor set up, the two person shower. Would highly recommend.

Private but close to town

We really enjoyed our peaceful getaway here. Everything was very clean and we were grateful for all the amenities and furnishings that were provided. We spent most of our time exploring Jackson, Mo which is very close to this property. Thank you for a unique and positive experience! We hope to come back for our 25th.

Great spot for a romantic retreat!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! A beautiful place built on a beautiful property; we enjoyed the hot tub under the stars and the morning coffee on the porch (and another hot tub ). Great place for some R&R, and excellent communication with the owner in advance. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Perfect Getaway

This was a perfect getaway to unwind and unplug for a few days. The house itself is just as nice as the pictures show. I would recommend this place to family and friends looking to relax and recharge. We planned to stay in and cook all meals during our stay, but decided to go out for one dinner. There are plenty of good restaurant options just a short drive away. One item to point out that I missed when I was first considering the property, the house does not have an oven. We realized that before we left and planned our meals accordingly. There is a nice toaster oven provided. There is also a nice gas grill on the deck that fired up right away.

Fantastic!

Extremely happy with our stay! Everything was perfect and even better than we expected! We have done about a dozen VRBO and ABnB stays and this was the cleanest stay we have ever had. The outdoor bed was wonderful and the location was good. It was close to town yet couldn't see any other houses from the deck or the outdoor bed in the backyard. There was a nice firepit and hot tub, (however we didn't use them). Very fast message replys when I had a question for the hosts. This was a great stay to get away for a couple days, I highly recommend it! Thank you!

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

The property was exactly as advertised. They’ve truly thought of so many little things that made our stay so enjoyable. There was a severe weather alert at 4 am during our stay and the hosts were checking on us the entire time to be sure all was well. We will definitely be back, for a longer stay next time! 🙂

Anniversary weekend

The property owner was quick to respond to any/all of my questions. The property exceeded our expectations and the pictures don’t do it justice. The 2 person covered hammock by the fire pit over looking the water was a cool surprise. The four poster king size bed was very comfortable. This treehouse has all of the modern amenities and the owner pays attention to details. The hot tub was perfect for two overlooking the water. The treehouse has everything we needed to cook meals in house between the grill, toaster oven, and 2 eye burners. The property was on the edge of town so only a couple minutes from groceries, restaurants, shopping, etc. We have already planned another trip to this treehouse. We LOVED this treehouse.
