The Treehouse: Unique "Off the Grid" Cabin on the Lost River with stunning views

The Treehouse is the crown jewel of French Lick Farms. If you are looking for a more remote stay to leave the stress of everyday life behind and reconnect with nature, this is the cabin for you.    An “off the grid” solar/propane powered two story cabin that provides a peaceful and serene getaway featuring dual level wrap around decks and sweeping views over the surrounding woods, Lost River and the neighboring farm.  

The first floor of the cabin features RV style kitchen and bath - with propane powered hot water heater, refrigerator and gas stove.  The dinette converts to a second bed.  The outdoor patio features a massive BBQ, picnic table and fire pit for evening stories around the campfire.

The second story features a desk, closet, queen size bed and a Kenwood DDX3X powering Bose patio speakers for entertainment. You can bluetooth connect your phone to the system or listen to XM radio to enjoy music while relaxing.

While all the lights, kitchen appliances and water heater do not require it, there is an ultra quiet generator available for those who wish to power the kitchen and bedroom ACs for the warmer months. We feature a gas fireplace with automatic thermostat for those cool nights. Because this is "off the grid" there are numerous USB plugs to charge phones via the solar power and batteries, however there is only 1 electrical outlet inside the Treehouse that requires the generator to be started to operate.

There is a pot belly wood burning stove on the second story deck for the cooler months. In addition, a fire pit out front with pre-cut wood for campfire stories and s’mores!

The Treehouse is truly your opportunity for a digital detox to disconnect and unplug as it does not feature cable or Wi-Fi on the property. It's the perfect backdrop and breathtaking scenery you need to unplug from the outside world. There is a TV as well as a DVD player and an assortment of DVDs but it does not have cable service.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have so please don't hesitate to ask. Because this is an "off the grid" cabin, the cell service is spotty depending on your provider, there is no internet, WiFi or cable tv, so if you are looking to check out and disconnect - this is the perfect property for you.

If you are looking for a more full-service hotel type stay or need to work/stay connected this may not be the right property for you but we do have a full service Lodge on the property you might want to check out. Feel free to ask any quesitons you may have to make sure we can meet your expectations!

Tree House Cabin
This is a very nice property! While “ off the grid” the technology is very modern and provides a comfortable stay. I was impressed by the quality of the dishes, towels and other items. Great place for a digital detox!

Great Location to Unplug
Beautiful area and very comfortable accommodations! No cable or wifi was amazing to unplug and just enjoy nature. No cell service at the house but available up the driveway near the main house. Great stay and would highly recommend!

Treehouse Stay
Unique property off the grid, while still close to all the town has to offer. Sherry was very friendly and responsive in our communication, and checked on us during our stay. Be aware that this is generator powered and I am unsure if there are electrical outlets. I believe you need to run extension cords from the generator to plug anything in. The space is extremely small. Which we were totally ok with- but would definitely not suggest more than 2 people. The view from the top floor is great, the wrap around deck and firepit were also a nice touch. We enjoyed staying somewhere different and secluded. Cool spot!

Memorial Day Weekend Fun!
We give this place 5 stars across the board! A great little place tucked away in the woods. We were really impressed with the cleanliness and thoughtful accommodations i.e DVDs, coffee, quality towel sets and welcome book to name a few. This off the grid place was just what we needed for a reset. Our hostess Sherry was awesome!!

Relaxing get-away
Everything at the treehouse was perfect. The views were breathtaking. The treehouse was stocked with everything one might need. From plush bath linens, all the coffee fixings imaginable, to s’mores supplies for the campfire. Even our pup did not want to leave. We will definitely be coming back!
