Just like the ancient trees that surround our treehouses, TreeDwellers is a place deeply rooted in nature, connection, and growth. We believe that every stay is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel the grounding power of the forest.
We've recently been honoured to have TreeDwellers featured in some truly wonderful publications. These articles and reviews beautifully capture the essence of what so many of our guests experience - the power of connection and the beauty of personal growth that TreeDwellers fosters. Rather than simply list each feature, we'd like to share some highlights that showcase these transformative experiences, both for our guests and for us as a growing community.

The Power of Connection
Connection is at the heart of everything we do. Here at TreeDwellers, it’s about more than just reconnecting with nature—it’s about rediscovering yourself and deepening bonds with loved ones in a space that feels like home in the canopy.
As Ed Cunningham from Timeout Magazine recently put it, TreeDwellers offers guests something 'special, private, embedded in nature.' We couldn't agree more. Whether it's quiet mornings with the mist rolling through the treetops or long evenings under a blanket of stars, our guests often tell us how these moments allow them to reconnect in ways they never expected.

We’re endlessly grateful that this sense of connection resonates so deeply with others, and we love sharing your stories through the press and beyond.
Growing Together
Nature is always growing—even when it’s not immediately visible. At TreeDwellers, growth can take many forms: the forest itself preparing for spring, a moment of personal insight during a solo walk, or a chance to rediscover joy while surrounded by nature’s calm.
In Country Life magazine, James Fisher highlighted TreeDwellers as 'a rustic rural cleanse for the soul and body,' because 'there are few things nicer than waking up and being surrounded by nothing but trees. ' For many, time amongst nature is a chance to reset and feel grounded again, aligning with the natural rhythms of the forest and their own circadian rhythms.
We’re constantly growing alongside our guests, inspired by your experiences and stories of transformation. This sense of shared growth is what makes TreeDwellers so much more than a destination—it’s a living, breathing community.
A Moment of Gratitude
We’re incredibly thankful for the thoughtful features we’ve received in recent months and for the kind words that guests have shared about their time with us. It’s your experiences, reflections, and connections that fuel everything we do.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Every visit, every story, and every shared moment is a reminder of the deep-rooted connection we all share with nature—and with one another.
