The space
The Space
Our enchanting tree fort blends cozy charm with a touch of luxury. On the deck, you’ll discover illuminated stained glass windows, hand-painted doors, and soft lighting that creates a magical atmosphere among the trees. The deck features natural wood accents, a fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and a hammock for ultimate relaxation.
Inside, there’s a cute kitchenette for meal prep including a microwave, Keurig with coffee pods, toaster, kettle, and a Blackstone grill for outdoor cooking.
The A-frame canvas tent offers a lovely and spacious bedroom. The Casper queen bed provides a restful sleep with fresh linens and multiple pillow options. There is a reading nook with a lamp, 2 bedside tables with lamps, a chandelier, a chest at the end of the bed with extra blankets, & luggage racks.
While colder weather calls for warm clothing, the provided heated blanket and heater ensure the tent stays cozy.
In warm weather, you have the option to leave the tent open or use the mosquito screen (not usually necessary). A fan is provided as well.
For added comfort, the private attached bathroom includes an indoor/outdoor shower, toilet, sink, mirror, hair dryer, towels, soap, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner.
It will be an amazing experience however please keep in mind that it is outdoor living, and a little mess can come with the adventure. For example- redwood trees tend to drop leaves and tiny pinecones often and the tannin can stain items left outside. For that reason, we recommend storing clothing and other items inside the tent or bathroom. We also recommend storing food inside the cupboards (not the tent) so the tree squirrels don't try to help themselves.
Wildlife spottings have included deer, red tail hawks, owls (heard at night especially), blue belly lizards, frogs, turkeys, tree squirrels, raccoons, and rarely (if we're lucky) bobcats & foxes. Please be aware that mountain lions have been seen in the neighborhood. Have no fear, you'll be perfectly safe in the trees but we don't recommend taking a stroll at night.
Guest access
Enjoy complete privacy at Redwood Ridge Tree Fort, with the entire space exclusively yours. Tucked away at the end of a quiet mountain cul-de-sac, you'll experience minimal traffic. The tree fort is easily accessible via a short set of stairs near your designated parking area, with a porch light guiding your way if you arrive after dark. At the top of the stairs, you'll find a locking gate for added security.
You’ll feel miles away from it all but it only takes 5 minutes to get to the fun town of Felton.
