The Poplar Treehouse

Summary:

Follow the sound of the water to your secluded sanctuary. Hidden among the trees, this unique 2-bedroom treehouse sits on the banks of Norton Creek. Inside, rustic interiors meet modern luxury with full AC/Heat and a rainfall shower. Whether you’re sipping wine on the private deck, gathering around the firepit, or fly-fishing in the babbling stream, this eco-escape is designed for the slow life. Best of all? You’re hidden in the heart of the forest, yet only 5 minutes from the National Park.



The Space:

Grab a glass of wine, cast a line in the creek, and embrace the slow life. Discover the perfect balance of wilderness and comfort.



Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Poplar Treehouse has a cozy home-like layout: 1 queen bed, full bathroom with rainfall shower, living space, and quaint kitchenette are on the main floor. Access another queen bed on the loft via a sturdy ladder; we recommend the main-floor queen for those with mobility concerns. Both the loft and main floor have heating/air-conditioning. Extra linens, towels, and pillows provided.



A small, covered porch and open-air porch included, both private and filled with outdoor seating options. Take in canopy views of the old-growth forests.



Seclusion + perks of the exclusive resort - shared firepits, grills, swings and picnic tables available to resort guests.
