One trail leads to a rippling brook that runs through the property. Renew, refresh, and be restored! Not long after you turn onto the private road (one-lane-only so descending/exiting vehicles should yield to incoming/ascending vehicles and back up until there is space to pass) that winds through the 14+ acre retreat called Haven of Hope, you will see Serenity Escape Treehouse on your right. You have a private driveway and parking area. 2 cars max. A smaller car can park directly underneath the treehouse. Don't block the main private road, because continuing on the private road, you will pass two walking trails - Rippling Brook Walking Trail on left and Lost and Found Walking Trail on right. You will then see Peaceful Hideaway Treehouse on your left (also available - sleeps 6), and Happy Glamper RV (also available - sleeps 2) and the homeowner's cabin is located at the end of the private road at the top of the mountain. Beside the parking area, there are stairs leading up to the Treehouse entrance from parking. When you enter the Treehouse, you will know your peaceful retreat has begun as you are surrounded by that familiar knotty pine wood on each wall. From every window on each of the two stories, you will see refreshing views through a canopy of trees. The primary bedroom on the main floor boasts beautiful window views and a thermostat-controlled electric fireplace. There is also a 32" TV with Roku, Disney Plus, ESPN Plus and Hulu (no ads). There are 2 chairs in the room that may be added to the dining space when there are 6 guests.

An extra blanket, vacuum, portable high chair (if needed), and box fan can be found in the closet. A bathroom is directly across the hall from the main bedroom with a full tub/shower combo and a double-sink vanity. There is a large frosted window to provide privacy but allow lots of daylight during the day. There is a stackable washer/dryer and ironing board with an iron available in the bathroom for your convenience. Moving into the main living area, you will appreciate the sight of a leather sofa and loveseat, as well as another chair and ottoman. The coffee table is multi-functional and the top can be raised to table height if desired. There is plenty of room for your family to enjoy this space. There are board games, puzzles, books, and reading information about Lookout Mountain in Alabama. On cool mornings, you will enjoy the gas log fireplace that is thermostat-controlled.

There is comfortable seating for up to six (2 additional chairs are kept in the primary bedroom). The bench at the farm table has additional storage as the top can be lifted. From the dining area, look out through the glass-paned double doors to the covered balcony area. There is a gas grill for your grilling needs, and BBQ tools are kept in a kitchen drawer. On the balcony, you will enjoy capturing scenes of nature from the height of the treehouse. Native plants and a variety of wildlife can be seen in the morning as you enjoy that first cup of coffee. Listen close for the footsteps of deer that run close to this Treehouse frequently. Close to the Treehouse, you will notice a brick fire pit designed with your retreat in mind. Take the private road to the top of the hill (owner’s home away from home), and feel free to take some chopped firewood as needed so that your family can make s’more memories. Extendable roasters are located in a kitchen drawer for your convenience, and “Rim of the Canyon Café and General Store” is less than 2 miles from the property and has s’more supplies and lots of other goodies for your retreat! Close to the fire pit, you will notice a double hammock for even more relaxing moments on your retreat, and there is a picnic table for your outdoor dining enjoyment.
