The Mohicans

My husband and I stayed in the Little Red Tree House. We found it to be very charming and beautiful but not the place for comfort. We expected the house to be small and lacking amenities but we were surprised to find that the things that were available were so uncomfortable and low-​end. The living area has built in benches that are not designed with comfort or snuggling in mind. We did bring many DVD’s but there was no remote and only a play button on the player so if the movie skipped/​stopped we would have to watch the entire thing to get back to our place. The TV picture was dark and very difficult to see. The bed bunk was pretty cool and everything was nice and clean but we both found the mattress left us feeling a little beat up in the morning. For the cost, we felt like the few thing that were there should be at least comfortable and in good working condition. Overall, it was really cool to stay in such a unique place but sadly we were excited to return to the comfort of a couch and a decent bed. In addition, while we were there it snowed and iced over quite a bit. Since we couldn’t find a shovel or salt, we expected someone would tend to clearing the steps and walkway but no one ever did. Again, for the price we were surprised. We have been lucky to have stayed in a variety of locations over the years but this was the first time we were asked to strip our own sheets and take our trash to the dumpster. It felt a lot like camping.

Me and a group of friends stayed at The Walhonding Cabin over Memorial Day weekend and all I can say is AMAZING! The cabin had an open lay out and it was perfect for entertaining. We didn’t have to worry about being loud (we were respectful though) because we were in the middle of nowhere. It was a little difficult to find the cabin because there were no signs to let you know you have arrived (privacy reasons), however the owner does provide landmarks to help guide you to the right place. The price wasn’t too bad either. For two nights (Saturday & Sunday) it cost about $ 800 plus a security deposit that you get back (I don’t remember how much the security deposit was). The Walhonding Cabin was worth every penny! We hope to make this our home every memorial day weekend. However, I realize this might not be possible because if you are reading this now you are probably thinking of staying at this place on Memorial Day weekend too!

We stayed in the original White Oak Treehouse. We had a great time. The tree house has a queen bedroom, living-​kitchenette space, full bath with shower, loft with two double beds, a wrap around deck, and an outdoor shower. Beds were very comfortable and the treehouse was clean. Some spider webs and dust, but that should be expected of a wood treehouse in the forest.
