  • "Hotels, bnb's, and cottages, this is without doubt the best place I have ever stayed."

    Wonderful setting, imaculately clean, extremely comfortable. Denise and Mark could not have done more to improve our stay. They provided an execptional welcombe hamper and there were even fresh flowers to welcombe us. There were bird feeders stategically placed so we could watch the birds and squirrels from every room. They even left a tub of seeds for us to refill them. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. 15 mins drive away was the Blue Ball Inn where we enjoyed a fantastic meal on our last night. I highly recomend both the home and the Inn. Would love to return sometime. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review! It really means a lot to us to know everyone is loving our Treetops! Yes the weather has been unkind but we are glad to see you didn't let it get in the way of enjoying your stay and we would love to welcome you back in the near future. Property Owner
