The Treehouse: Unique "Off the Grid" Cabin on the Lost River with stunning views

The Treehouse is the crown jewel of French Lick Farms. If you are looking for a more remote stay to leave the stress of everyday life behind and reconnect with nature, this is the cabin for you.    An “off the grid” solar/propane powered two story cabin that provides a peaceful and serene getaway featuring dual level wrap around decks and sweeping views over the surrounding woods, Lost River and the neighboring farm.  

The first floor of the cabin features RV style kitchen and bath - with propane powered hot water heater, refrigerator and gas stove.  The dinette converts to a second bed.  The outdoor patio features a massive BBQ, picnic table and fire pit for evening stories around the campfire.

The second story features a desk, closet, queen size bed and a Kenwood DDX3X powering Bose patio speakers for entertainment. You can bluetooth connect your phone to the system or listen to XM radio to enjoy music while relaxing.

While all the lights, kitchen appliances and water heater do not require it, there is an ultra quiet generator available for those who wish to power the kitchen and bedroom ACs for the warmer months. We feature a gas fireplace with automatic thermostat for those cool nights. Because this is "off the grid" there are numerous USB plugs to charge phones via the solar power and batteries, however there is only 1 electrical outlet inside the Treehouse that requires the generator to be started to operate.

There is a pot belly wood burning stove on the second story deck for the cooler months. In addition, a fire pit out front with pre-cut wood for campfire stories and s’mores!

The Treehouse is truly your opportunity for a digital detox to disconnect and unplug as it does not feature cable or Wi-Fi on the property. It's the perfect backdrop and breathtaking scenery you need to unplug from the outside world. There is a TV as well as a DVD player and an assortment of DVDs but it does not have cable service.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have so please don't hesitate to ask. Because this is an "off the grid" cabin, the cell service is spotty depending on your provider, there is no internet, WiFi or cable tv, so if you are looking to check out and disconnect - this is the perfect property for you.

If you are looking for a more full-service hotel type stay or need to work/stay connected this may not be the right property for you but we do have a full service Lodge on the property you might want to check out. Feel free to ask any quesitons you may have to make sure we can meet your expectations!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a desk and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking and a car charging station.

Exactly what we needed
We spent a weekend at the Treehouse and it was amazing. Beautiful surroundings, very nice, clean and cozy place. It bought us a lot of good childhood memories back . Both the owner and the property manager were very nice , kept checking in making sure we don’t need anything. If you need a place to unwind and get away from technology, this is the place to be. Highly recommend it.

Great Place
This is off the grid with no Verizon service. Four of us were able to enjoy the outdoors, weather and wildlife as time slowed down for us when disconnecting. Bug spray is strongly suggested, there are mites everywhere outdoors in the woods. The stone path to the lonely river could use some attention. There are some fiesty, fighting catfish lurking in the pond near the lodge. Saw multiple deer every day though they will keep away from the cabin if the generator is on. Overall great place, would like to return again!

This is a very nice property! While “ off the grid” the technology is very modern and provides a comfortable stay. I was impressed by the quality of the dishes, towels and other items. Great place for a digital detox!

Great Location to Unplug
Beautiful area and very comfortable accommodations! No cable or wifi was amazing to unplug and just enjoy nature. No cell service at the house but available up the driveway near the main house. Great stay and would highly recommend!

Treehouse Stay
Unique property off the grid, while still close to all the town has to offer. Sherry was very friendly and responsive in our communication, and checked on us during our stay. Be aware that this is generator powered and I am unsure if there are electrical outlets. I believe you need to run extension cords from the generator to plug anything in. The space is extremely small. Which we were totally ok with- but would definitely not suggest more than 2 people. The view from the top floor is great, the wrap around deck and firepit were also a nice touch. We enjoyed staying somewhere different and secluded. Cool spot!

Memorial Day Weekend Fun!
We give this place 5 stars across the board! A great little place tucked away in the woods. We were really impressed with the cleanliness and thoughtful accommodations i.e DVDs, coffee, quality towel sets and welcome book to name a few. This off the grid place was just what we needed for a reset. Our hostess Sherry was awesome!!

Amazing tree house in the woods with great views. Cozy. Easy to use everything there. Everything we needed was already provided and the owners / managers kept in touch daily if anything was needed.

Relaxing get-away
Everything at the treehouse was perfect. The views were breathtaking. The treehouse was stocked with everything one might need. From plush bath linens, all the coffee fixings imaginable, to s’mores supplies for the campfire. Even our pup did not want to leave. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect Weekend
We needed a weekend to disconnect and recharge from our incredibly busy, demanding and stress-filled grind. We researched a lot of different places, but landed on the charming, unique and secluded Treehouse location. There is no wi-fi or cell signal - I drove about a mile to make necessary calls and texts - so we were forced to *egad!* relax and disconnect. The property is as wonderful as shown online. Scenery is beautiful and the fireflies lit up the night. They grounds and the property were immaculate; everything was in perfect working order; we had complete privacy for the weekend; the electrical setup was NEVER a problem; and all we had to do was bring our food and a couple of bottles of wine and we had the perfect weekend. There were deer everywhere. The owners and crew are top notch and I wouldn’t change a thing on the property. (Oh, wait… Yes, I would. The punk rock cow picture upstairs needs to go. Hahha!) We loved it.

100 percent enjoyable!
We enjoyed every minute we were there! The cabin was clean and had everything you would need to make your self at home. The views were beautiful and the hiking… Wow! We brought our dogs and felt that we could stay for much longer. The cabin was warm, shower was hot and the barbecue grill was a great way to stay and enjoy outside! We plan on coming back!!

Tucked Away DreamHouse
Overall this property is a great find, nestled away in the woods along the lost river. Every morning we saw deer and watched the turkey's in the field, some of the best features of the location. One of my likes/dislikes is no cell service. It made it difficult to communicate to the property owners but then again it forced us to really disconnect something we should all do more often. Property owner Sandy was wonderful, she showed us some of the property and how to run the generator if we needed to but since she had not ever stayed overnight on the property she was not aware of some of the issues/concerns. The hot water worked on the first day but thereafter we only got scalding hot water then ice cold freezing water which made showering exciting LOL We were also struggling with watching tv at night, the tv in the kitchen area did not have power, only the tv in the bedroom loft worked but did not have a remote. We were pleased to see that they had a DVD player on the back of the tv, but w/o remote it made it had to watch without getting up and down on a chair to adjust volume, play/pause...Some other things that I don't believe that were mentioned in the description was that this is a solar powered treehouse which is excellent but it is to note there is only one outlet (in one of the kitchen cabinets) to plug in a hair dryer/iron/coffee maker or whatever you need and that is only powered by the generator. The bed was a little rough on the back but doable for a few nights. It would have been nice to have a fan to push around the air in the loft rather then turning on the generator for some cool breezes. Also the fridge/freezer was not running properly to cool and freeze some items we brought up. But truly other than those complaints the property was wonderful, we enjoyed a night near the firepit...also to note bring your music cd's (if you have any left) there is a car stereo disc player near the bed in the loft that is tied to speakers outside, the owls were hooting to our only 2pac CD we had LOL we got a good laugh out of that one. We also located a squirrel catapult just next to the river (looked like a salad bowl dish), we had a blast putting apples in it and sending it down river. Truly a great find, loved the property, only wished I had a few more nights to really settle in and enjoy it.
