Serenity Escape Treehouse on 14 Acres with easy trails, fire pit and hammock.

Serenity Escape Treehouse at Haven of Hope | 14+ acres near Little River Canyon | Fast Wi-Fi | Vacation, Corporate and Extended Stays | Fire Pit | 1.5 Bathrooms | Fireplace | BBQ Grill | Walking Trails | Creek | Double Hammock | Picnic Table | Dog Friendly | Hosts up to 7 Guests

Named Serenity Escape Treehouse, this treehouse offers a serenity escape on the private 14+ acre Haven of Hope retreat near Little River Canyon National Preserve. Explore waterfalls, parks, shops, and restaurants. Relax by the fireplace with a cup of coffee and enjoy views through a canopy of trees. Deer and turkeys are spotted often near the creek! There are two easy walking trails near this Treehouse - each perfect for picnics on the ground and access to a swing-for-two in the woods! 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, and there is a small Roku TV in the corner. There are 2 chairs in the room that may be added to the dining space when there are 6 guests. For the queen bed, there is a 12" memory foam mattress and new, quilted bedding for your rest and relaxation. 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. For movie nights in, there is a flat screen 55" HD Roku television, and highspeed Wi-Fi is available so you can stream your own favorite subscriptions.

Directly next to the living room area is the dining area. 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. 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! Near the fire pit is your Charcoal/wood-burning Campground-Style BBQ Grill with a metal bucket and lid to collect BBQ grill ashes. Also 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.

Back in the Treehouse, you will find a well-equipped kitchen with a refrigerator (and ice maker), stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle, blender, cooking pots, can opener, pans and utensils, dishes, drinking glasses, eating utensils, cooking spices, coffee mugs, and more. Our hope is that your retreat at the treehouse cabin will provide you with welcoming home-away-from-home vibes.

In the living area, there is a beautiful, wooden spiral staircase leading up to the loft bedroom. There is a small desk and office chair if a designated workspace is required, and Wi-Fi is available. There are two queen beds with 10" Dreamer, memory foam mattresses serve to help every guest rest well. There is also a cozy reading nook with a twin size, memory foam mattress, soft bedding, and a remote-controlled reading light. A half bathroom adjoins the loft bedroom, with a sink and toilet. Through the loft windows, be sure to check out the breathtaking views from even greater heights :)

Message the Host if you would like information on reserving the entire 14+ acre retreat property which includes Peaceful Hideaway Treehouse, Serenity Escape Treehouse (across the private road from one another, nestled in the woods) and Happy Glamper RV (follow the private road to the top of the mountain).

Very peaceful - we will be back!

Very peaceful! Enjoyed the host guide on recommending restaurants and places to see. We would have never known about Cherokee Rock Village. It ended up being our favorite. Enjoyed being able to cook a meal in the kitchen. Also the fans in the closets were a plus and the music on when we arrived. They were very good at communication and had the string lights on for us when we arrived late at night. We will be back! Thank you!

Hiking, waterfalls, climbing boulders, eating delicious food, s'mores by the campfire!

When I scheduled our spring break with Peaceful Retreats, I had no idea just how true the name would be to our experience! Even with two teenagers and two labs, we have been so relaxed and at peace. Our crew has enjoyed hiking, waterfalls, climbing boulders, eating delicious food, s'mores by the campfire, relaxing in our treehouse cabin, fun on a farm, and quality time with best friends and family. Life can be extremely stressful and it’s so important to take mental health breaks! We all have noticed how much more positive our mental health has been with sometime in nature. If you haven't been to Fort Payne and Mentone, pack your bag and take a weekend getaway ASAP! Thank you for hosting us, Peaceful Retreats! PS Hey Siri, play me some old Alabama🎶🎸

Lots of adventures and memories made!

My family and I had an amazing time staying in the treehouse. It is exactly what we were looking for when we planned a quick getaway. My 3 boys also had an amazing time with lots of adventures and memories made. The treehouse was very peaceful. I would recommend staying here if you’re looking to get away from a busy lifestyle! We made many memories that will last a long time. Thanks so much!

The Perfect Blend of Adventure and Relaxation

This cabin offers the best of both worlds: it is perfectly situated for exploring local attractions, yet so cozy and inviting that we were just as tempted to stay in and relax. The interior boasts a well-stocked kitchen and fast internet, making it easy to feel right at home. We were especially impressed by the clean, spacious bathrooms and the warm, "cozy-at-home" vibes throughout the space. Outside, the great outdoor areas provide a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Additionally, for EV drivers, the location is incredibly convenient to the ChargePoint station in Fort Payne. We can't wait to come back!

Best vacation in North AL!

We have never been to North Alabama and came here for a weekend getaway from the FL Panhandle. This treehouse experience didn't disappoint! The communication was top-notch, easy and professional. The home was spotless - both my husband and I, and our little doggie Seamor 🐕, enjoyed the comforts of home with a gorgeous wooded backdrop! I loved the local gifts and support for local non profits that were near to the Owner's hearts - made us feel like we were making a small impact, too! Make dinner reservations at Wildflower Cafe, go chasing waterfalls (thankfully it had just rained for 2 days before we got there so they were epic!) and enjoy a fire in your own backyard. Will recommend to all of our friends! Thanks for an incredible stay, made to feel like family!
