Built among the trees at the foot of glacier-carved sandstone bluffs and nestled along the border of Starved Rock State Park, these one-of-a-kind treehouses invite you to slow down, connect, and breathe. Spacious enough to gather yet designed for peace, each handcrafted retreat sleeps eight and offers a full kitchen, modern comforts, and forest views in every direction. Step outside and wander directly into miles of scenic trails that wind through quiet, picturesque canyons. Secluded and serene, yet only minutes from local towns — and just 90 minutes from Chicago.​
