6/5 stars - Must Experience

Private scenic quiet experience . Hand crafted unique cabin concept . The deck and trail are gorgeous . The outdoor bathroom is impressive , very spacious with state of the art human waste disposal system . Pet friendly open space outside with lots of trails and season activities to partake in. The living quarters is crafted with skill and love and that’s felt throughout the sitting / kitchen area as well as upstairs in the bedroom . The kitchen has all you’d need , it’s well outfitted , so bring what you need for food and some skill and you’ll craft as well or better than at home . Thermostat with contained fireplace does a perfect job of consistent heat . Upstairs the bedroom is gorgeous and unique . The bed and bedding is amazingly comfortable and clean . The hammock cut out was an experience for my spouse and my beloved golden retriever . I can’t say enough good things and I certainly have more positives to look back on . Top notch all around, more than 5 start stay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Mushroom House was funky & cosy. We enjoyed the outdoor sauna and going for walks on paths throughout the property.

Very chill 😎

I really enjoyed the wood fired oven and sauna. The outdoor shower was awesome. The sounds of abundant birds was spectacular. The view of the sunset was truly memorable! The hosts are very welcoming. I look forward to visiting this site again sometime. 😊

Mushroom House

We enjoyed our stay in The Mushroom House. The windows looked out onto beautiful views of farmland and trees. I enjoyed watching the birds and walking the trails. It was very peaceful. The house is well equipped and cozy. We appreciated the hospitality and the openness to make ourselves at home.

The treehouse is beautiful and peaceful. I enjoyed watching the birds in the mornings and spending time in nature. Very comfortable sleeping arrangement in the loft. The kitchen was easy to use and has a nice view of the pond.

Fun, beautiful and creative!

I chose this place because I wanted somewhere that would inspire fun for my friend that just arrived from Saskatchewan. Pickalotta Treehouse exceeded those expectations! It was cozy, comfortable and creative elements in every possible place. Exceptional service and communications throughout including a personal tour of the studio which left us feeling enchanted and in awe. Before I left, I had already sent messages to 5 friends recommending they come here as well. I will be back in all 4 seasons!
