The Sylvan Float tree house is a treehouse in its purest form. Floating above the forest floor this arboreal abode is suspended between a red oak and hickory. With a full wrap around porch and cozy lofted room, the tree house is designed for two. Great views, fully enclosed room with heat, and a gas stove allow you to relax and feel at home after a day of exploring the gorge. Located five minutes from the Martins Fork trail head, spectacular hiking and climbing is not far after you leave the canopy and step onto the forest floor. Waking up in the tree tops has a magical effect you have to experience for yourself!
Please note that this treehouse is up a bumpy, sometimes muddy, gravel road. Small two-wheeled vehicles can make it to the cabin, but four wheel drives have an easier time. There is also a lovely 1/2 mile walking trail that connects from our main office parking lot to this treehouse, you may park there and walk up if you'd like.
