The house
Fort Treehouse Co.Off-grid architectural treehouses
Three elevated cabins operate entirely off the grid, creating a low-touch stay where guests cook over fires and wake in the canopy.
“Each treehouse is designed to dissolve the boundary between architecture and nature, immersing guests in the landscape.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Three black-cube treehouses anchored to living sugar maples, with pale birch interiors.

Saturday morning yoga unfolds on the Hydda deck, alongside registered in-cabin massage.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The result is cabins that are not just stunning on the inside, but are perfectly positioned on the site to maximize their visual impact.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Hiking trails run directly into the bordering 500-acre Dahl Forest, winding along the Burnt River through protected woodland.
The rooms
Large windows look straight into the maple canopy, and every cabin has a vinyl turntable and a private rooftop terrace.
At the table
The Hydda brews morning coffee and stocks campfire meal kits for cooking over the cabin fire pits.
The result is a trio of sleek black cubes that offer treetop views, designed to tread lightly on their surroundings and place guests on the edge of the trail-filled Dahl Forest.
How it began
Founder Cam Green worked with an arborist to secure each cabin to living trunks, letting the host maples sway and grow undisturbed.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
