Kari and Sam would like to say thanks to all of you who have visited the Treehouse Cabin Retreat and supported us over the last few years. This last week we sold the property to a great new owner, who I'm sure will continue to put the love and work into it that we have, and the owners before us. This is truly a special place in the woods, and we have enjoyed escaping up here while adding our own unique features like the outdoor games and new outdoor shower, and sharing our property with wonderful guests!

If you have an upcoming reservation, don't worry, Kari will still be co-hosting these for another month or so. This page, the Houfy (direct booking website) listing, and some other things will remain the same, while new owner Jamil will have a new airbnb page and more. Please stay tuned for updates and continue to support the Treehouse Cabin Retreat, Old Town, Florida. Thank you! 😊

The Nature Coast State Trail runs right through Old Town, and you can walk a leisurely 15 minutes from the intersection at Hwy 349 to this cool old railroad bridge that crosses the Suwannee River. The river moves pretty swiftly!

FREE firewood for upcoming stays at the Treehouse Cabin Retreat!

We continued our hurricane cleanup by renting a log splitter and processing well over a cord of wood (probably 2 since we started) and stacking it around the property. The log splitter was a huge help!

We welcome our guests to use it for their campfires 🔥

Happy New Year everyone! May your 2024 be filled with peace, fresh air and sunshine, and memorable adventures with family and friends!
