We can proudly announce that the boat is finally painted! What a transformation this has been from start to finish. We worked through extreme summer heat and together as a family to make this happen. Extra special thanks to our dads who have showed up to help us anytime we ask. We really couldn’t do it without you! Papa Ryan and Papa Mike -Super troopers in their mid 70’s, still showing up and making it happen alongside Darin and myself (Kati). We re-caulked the entire boat as well and it is so fresh!
For those of you who are new to our page, this beauty is going to be the 3rd and final structure available for rent at The Montana Treehouse Retreat! We hope to be welcoming guests in 2025 and still have a lot of work to do. Things are turning out sweeter than we anticipated so the extra time it is taking is ok.

Morning! It’s August and the valley has been booming with tourists and visitors who all come to this beautiful state. We have been BUSY this season and are very grateful. At this point in the summer- please remember to be kind to the service workers who show up to restaurants, attractions, parks, accomodations and venues to make sure we can enjoy the things we love in this busy season.
If you are behind the scenes making it all happen for our guests- thank you! I hope you find moments to yourself to unwind and find peace in this busy time of year. Enjoy these last weeks of summer! Get in your dips in fresh waters and walks in the mountains. Before you know it, we will be cozied in for the winter.
Ever wonder how to get the perfectly level water line paint stripe? Laser level. This boat is definitely a labor of love. We have been working hard on the paint job and as we tend to do things- they always become a bit more complicated after we start. It’s all worth it in the end. Can’t wait to share the big reveal final paint job. It is so beautiful- I can’t believe how much it has transformed since we got the boat!

Some days we are trudging through this project- scratching our heads. Some days we have a total transformation and feel a burst of energy to keep moving forward. We needed that boost and we got it this weekend. We’ve always believed this boat is a treasure. We found out what was underneath all of the layers of paint and wear and tear. Beautiful mahogany. What a beaut!
Special thanks to CJ Mobile Blasting
Onward.
Meanwhile in Montana…we are salvaging a 1966 motor yacht Trojan Sea Voyager and transforming it into the 3rd and final treehouse at Montana Treehouse Retreat. Things keep getting whackier here but we live for it. Life is too short not to have fun. Was I having fun up on the his and hers ladders today? 🤔
It’s exciting to see the progress! Soon we will put the roof on this beauty. Would you sleep in a treehouse boat??

Crane days are always the best days. It was so fun to watch the first A steel frame of our treehouse #2 build go up. There are so many behind the scenes steps before we arrived at this point. Permitting, planning, designing, waiting for weather, wondering how it will all come together. What an exciting day on this project!
