Your vacation experience will be elevated with year-round recreation options awaiting you - hiking/snowshoeing/x-country skiing/snowmobiling trails, canoe, fishing boat, snow/water tubes, and swimming raft.

The space
Enter Hilltop Treehouse true Self-check-in is with key lock box via convenient entry and find yourself in the cozy living room. Relax on the comfy sofa and stretch out on the chaise section as natural light streams in through the large windows. You can brew yourself a cup of coffee in the kitchenette portion of the living room, where you’ll also find a mini-fridge.

Play games or catch up on work on the live-edge table.

Chill out and take in the delightful views from the front porch.

Just outside the living room, prep and cook your meals in the outdoor kitchen, sheltered from the elements by a gazebo and surrounded by fresh air and nature. Cook on the gas grill (with supplied propane), in the countertop oven, or on a 2-burner stove unit. You’ll also find a hand-washing station with sink and prep space.

And dine right there at the table in the gazebo.

Just 10 meters beyond the treehouse is 2 km of riverfront and shared swimming raft, where you can swim, fish, splash, float, canoe, or just chill on loungers and watch the river flow. Walk, hike, ride an AATV. snowshoe, or cross-country ski on 3 km of woodland trails. Enjoy snow-tubing, and bring your snowmobile, too. Love to fish? Catch brook trout from the creek. Experience the best of nature amid rolling hills and the winding river.

In the evening, make memories around the firepit by the gazebo.

After a full day of fun in nature, climb the ladder to the bedroom, where you’ll find a queen bed and, tucked under the eaves, a full-size bed, both with new mattresses and linens supplied. A pull-out couch in the living room provides an additional sleeping accommodation.

Refresh in nature in the outdoor shower.

Remote getaway the perfect remedy
Super fun and relaxing stay in the woods it was off-season so it was a little more roughing it than we imagine. However, we were up for the challenge. The host was far more than accommodating, and we would recommend this to anyone and will be back in the future.

Fun getaway
We had an amazing stay at this creek side getaway, the cottage was a very cute, solar powered which runs honestly amazing and lasts a very long time, but also has a back up generator in case! It was equipped with the basic cook ware, as well as a propane powered stove/mini over and bbq. Owner was amazing and responded quickly with every need. We maybe saw them twice a day drive by with their dog but other than that, totally privacy. We had an amazing stay and will definitely check out the other property’s on the land!

Nice Rustic Getaway
The treehouse is like camping but without the need to put up a tent. The host is extremely accommodating and the porperty is breathtakingly beautiful. The treehouse is small but well appointed for 4 adults. The solar system is a bit difficult as you have no way to tell if the batteries get enough charge time so running the generator for a few of hours a day is a good idea. ( we did lose power at 2 am once but the fidge kept everything cold till morning). The river was a refreshing 70 deg F and there is all kinds of wildlife from a family of Mink to ducks and Herons and even a local Pine Marten. The dining shelter is well equipped with a 2 burner propane stove/oven combo and a BBQ. The composing toilet did not smell! Bugs although present were not a problem. Highway 11 is a tad close so you can hear the traffic in the background but it quickly becomes white noised and not an intrusion. There is no WI FI at the tree house but cell servcie is good if you absolutely must stay in touch. Drinking water is supplied in 5 gallon clear jugs. We will definitely return

Amazing little getaway
We had such a amazing time at the treehouse. The property itself was cozy and very clean. The creek was great for swimming and the canoe and tubes were a nice touch. It was a perfect little getaway and the best part was how secluded it was. The owner was super friendly and very quick to respond with any inquiries we had. I would highly recommend this place!

It was an absolutely amazing stay at the hilltop tree house. The host sent us directions to the property the day before our check in and this made it super easy to find. If you enjoy raw nature you need to stay at creekside getaway. The property is incredible and the host is super friendly and always ready to help. Private trails to walk and a canoe to use for a peaceful ride upstream as the current very gentle and brings you back to the dock effortlessly. The views from the treehouse are breath taking especially at sunset. Lots of fun things to do around town and with grocery and food options just a 10 minute drive away. If you enjoy the outdoors and camping you are definitely missing out by not booking a stay here as this is glamping at its best. We have already booked another stay at creekside getaway for the end of July at their camper site. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆ without a doubt!

Great cabin surrounded by nature with breath taking views
The 4 of us stayed at this wonderful secluded cabin in the middle of a beautiful tall pine forest with river view. The host is very friendly and responsive. Check in was a breeze. All though the cabin is modern and quaint, this is more of a "glamping" experience, there is no running water or cooking inside the cabin. There is a outdoor kitchen area about 100 feet from cabin with nice new BBQ and Coleman stovetop / oven, and basic cookware. We happened to book a weekend when the first big snow fall arrived and though the kitchen area is covered on top, there is no blocking the wind from blowing snow in and covering every surface, it was a little challenging trying to cook in these conditions. But it's nothing we couldn't handle as we are are experienced campers and quite adaptive. Also there is no outdoor light in or around the kitchen area so bring a lantern if you can. Compost outhouse was clean and equipped with lots of TP :) The cabin has two very comfortable queen/king beds in upstairs loft, which is only accessible by ladder. So keep that in mind. Not ideal for small children or large pets. The loft is very tight as far as head space goes it's not very easy to navigate up there, lots of crouching and crawling. But the beds and pillows are so very comfortable and the loft maintained comfortable sleeping temperature. This cabin is situated pretty far down a narrow dirt road/trail with some steep hill areas, in the summer any vehicle would be fine. But for winter a small car would not do well. We had 4x4 vehicle and got stuck while trying to leave, we were able to get out but there were some challenging moments even with large 4x4 vehicle. So just keep that in mind. Plan ahead for the weather and come prepared for a "glamorous camping" nature experience. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the host and his dog were so lovely. He was available and responded quickly

Perfect Cozy Getaway
My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights and it was an absolutely incredible trip. The perfect trip for someone looking to truly disconnect from reality for a night or two. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The two beds up in the bunkie are incredibly comfortable. The cabin was well equipped for what it is. Mini fridge that works well, coffee maker, table for games/laptop and porta-potty + outdoor amenities and hand washing station. The heat was also In good working order. This place has everything you need for a relaxing getaway with no distractions. It’s also about ten minutes away from a spectacular pizzeria (pie o my pizza) located in sun bridge. This stay blew our expectations out of the water and we are already planning our next stay with hopes to make this a monthly/bi monthly get away.
