Unleash the inner-kid within you! The original owners did. They spent 40 years, plannting thousands of daffodils which grace the open patches in this two-acre mature hardwood climax forest (ash, oak, poplar, chestnut, locust) . The lower half of the property was not much used, so we added a firepit. And when the COVID pandemic set in, I set out to build a site for meditation and yoga, but 21 feet above the ground. I soon realized that the space was too beautiful for just one family and so we decided to open it up to the public. We think you'll love the space. Namaste, Paz, and Peace to all who come to "Floating Heaven." Learn more about this land: Two large treehouse platforms can be used with your sleeping bags, tents, and/or hammocks, floating 21 ft. securely off the ground. They are connected by a plank spanning some four feet. This is NOT an upscale European-style treehouse with furniture and bedding. Sleep under the stars or under a zinc roof. Yogis' choice. We'll start you off with some kindling and a few logs to get you going. The main fee is for four (4) campers. $15 more each for up to two more campers. Wonderful TAB (tree-anchor bolt) system designed by treehousesupplies.com lets the 60-80 foot tall poplars and oaks move without jarring the treehouse. A small plank connects one platform that is flat and open (10'x12') to the other, which has a well-light cabin or casita (with a door, a window of egress, and two other windows). Guaranteed 7 pm - 7 am silence and beauty. The property is pretty steeply sloped but trails are graded. Pack economically to minimize the number of times you have to schlep things from the car down to the site too often. We added a new casita that has lovely windows, door, and space for two adults and one child. Cots can be rented for $12 for one, $20 for two. Hammock is available for rent at $10 per night.

Tons of birds!
I enjoyed this location. With directions it was easy to find. It was easy to set up after portaging everying up. The treehouse requires that you walk from the street down about 50 yds on steep gravel path. Joe met me and we walked together to the treehouse. I didn't use the campfire, too hot, but it was set up to use. Lots of birds and a deer visited. Put my hammock up on the trees and took the first afternoon off. Planned two days but weather turned stormy so I left. The platform is nice and the stairs up are not steep so easy to get up there and the dog had no issue. Behind the platform is the casita which is about 6X 6 area. Only one window that opens and a door, no screens. (I had my own screen so was able to leave the window open for air. Lots of stuff to rent if you need it, like air mattress, tent etc. I had everything I needed. The toilet for #1 is just adjacent to the casita. It has no privacy at all but you can hang towels around it for some privacy. The #2 toilet is under the tree house on the ground with two privacy walls, open to the woods behind. There is a shower uses a basketball goal and a tube for water hanging overhead. There is no privacy beyond bushes. One issue was that I found several ticks on me once I got into the casita. I suppose the rain chased them in. I had sprayed for bugs before entering,, myself, the dog and the casita, but still found four of them on me that night. Don't have any latched on apparently.

Beautiful place to stay when in Blacksburg. Joe was a great host and was thorough when showing us the property. We slept in the covered portion during our stay since it was raining. We hope to return again during better weather.

This was a great stay! It was definitely such a beautiful spot. We stayed in the “casita” which was very comfortable and really cool to be immersed within the surrounding trees! Very close to nearby Blacksburg which was a plus. Joseph was very nice and great with communicating! Would definitely stay again.
