Cabane dans les arbres. Privée & moderne avec jacuzzi & vue

Why Not Woodland Escape is a modern treetop home intended for people who love being outside in nature but don’t want to sacrifice comfort or style.

Perched on 10½ private acres, the house was intentionally designed to blur the lines between indoors and out. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ridgeline and treetops, and nearly every space connects you back to the woods.

STEP OUTSIDE from the chef's kitchen, and you’ll find a SCREENED OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM with ridgeline views and a perfect curl-up-with-a-book sofa. There's also a TV and a convenient pass-through window to the kitchen.

The stairs from the outdoor living room lead down to the OUTDOOR COVERED KITCHEN, which features a large grill with a side burner, sink, prep space, fridge, and seating for six.

Guests love adding fresh-picked herbs from the HERB GARDEN (steps away from the outdoor kitchen) to their dishes and cocktails.

Grab the S'more sticks and relax around the large FIRE PIT with comfortable Adirondack chairs and a swing.

Step through the large master bedroom sliding door to the HOT TUB AND OUTDOOR SHOWER DECK, complete with a relaxing double chaise to soak in the peace, beauty, and quiet.

The nearly ½-mile PRIVATE CREEKSIDE TRAIL winds through the woods and is just steps from the front door. Dogs give it 5 stars!

INSIDE, the home is warm, modern, uncluttered, but thoughtfully equipped. The CHEF'S KITCHEN is fully stocked with sharp knives, spices, oil, and plenty of cookware and prep space for whatever you dream up.

There’s a BUILT-IN BAR with bar and glassware to craft your curated cocktails.

You also have a dedicated workspace with FIBER INTERNET, a GAME ROOM (Winmau dart board, ping-pong, and Twister), and a GYM with weights, mats, bench, pull-up bar, and more.

INTENTIONALLY DOG-WELCOMING ($115 pet fee per stay for up to two dogs)

We're not just dog-friendly, we're dog exuberant! We love featuring our dog friends on our social pages and happily provide dog beds, bowls, treats, towels, blankets, shampoo, waste bags, toys, and even a crate for anxious dogs. Furniture is for humans only — thank you for helping us keep the home beautiful for all guests.


THE WHY NOT STORY

In 2021, we parked a 20’ camper on this land and began clearing it ourselves — uncovering ridgeline views and countless Y-shaped knotty branches along the way. “Why Not” stuck. We designed and built this home from the ground up, crafting many details ourselves. If you stay, we hope you feel the residual good vibes and energy :)

We're proud to have our house design featured in City Scope Magazine (Spring 2026)


WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“The cabin and the surrounding scenery were even more beautiful in person than in the photos.”

“If you’re looking for peace and grounding, this is the place for you."

"The hot tub, outdoor shower, and fire pit made everything extra relaxing."

"Beds were comfy, and everything was carefully arranged to ensure all our needs were met.”

“Very well decorated and clean. Loved our visit.”


THE AREA VIBE

You’ve landed in a creative, outdoorsy mountain pocket where hang gliding pilots, hikers, and nature lovers call home.

PARKING

There's plenty! And the driveway is flat and easy to maneuver.

FLOWER MOON BAKERY -- Delivered to your door

Mollie owns this delectable micro-bakery, and she happens to live a hop, skip, and a jump from Why Not. She’s like Little Red Riding Hood and literally leaves the basket of yummies on the doorstep.

"The owner, Kelly, hooked us up with Mollie, who delivered freshly made sourdough bread, farm-fresh eggs, and homemade cinnamon rolls straight to us. The bread and cinnamon rolls were ridiculously good!"


YOUR 5-STAR EXPERIENCE

We aim for 5-star experiences every time — and we mean it. We're not a big and impersonal rental company. This is our home, and we love curating epic experiences for our guests! And if something is off or missing, we will do our best to make it right.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

-- We live on 10 1/2 wooded acres, and so you'll likely encounter bugs and other wildlife. Despite having a monthly pest control service, you may still encounter some bugs.

-- We have a septic system, a well, and a water filtration system (because the mountain has high iron). You help keep them clean, flowing, and problem-free when you:

+ ONLY flush the 1-ply paper provided. I like deluxe toilet paper, too, but our septic doesn't, and she rules the house.

+ ONLY put toilet paper in the toilet and put EVERYTHING ELSE in the basket

+ Shower off lotions and oils before getting into the hot tub

+ Put all grease and food waste in the basket (no garbage disposal)

+ Sometimes, iron passes through the water filtration system. It's harmless but may discolor the toilets, tubs, or white clothes (if you do laundry)

-- No parties or events
-- Six guests MAX
-- No smoking of any kind inside

-- DOGS: Up to two well-behaved and house-trained pups are welcome (there is a $115 pet fee per stay. Please add your pets at check-out, and the fee will be added automatically.
