Luxury bathroom with a rock river set in the floor, a glass shower door where the rock tile continues, and an interesting sink made from a flowerpot and an old set of drawers. Bucket pulley on back deck 20+ feet up. Living area with sofa bed and full kitchen. Large deck on the front and beautiful sunsets to enjoy while grilling or sitting around the firepit.

Outside the kitchen window is an herb garden for your gourmet cooking. Inside is a Cuisinart ice cream maker. We always have sugar, but make sure you bring cream and your favorite toppings and look up recipes for your favorite ice cream!

We provide wood for the firepit. A canoe, kayaks, paddleboards and paddleboat are all available for you to enjoy. We also have fishing poles in the cabin. Don't forget your fishing license!

It's so quiet and all of the neighbors are wonderful. It is a very safe area. Fun to walk around or ride bikes. Quick walk up the road to Lake of Egypt where all the lake toys and lifejackets are located. Come paddle, swim and hang out for the day.

Great Stay

The house was plenty of space for three kids and two adults. Yard was fantastic (hammock, fire pit, tire swing, large yard) and the kayaks were great.

Spring vacation

The treehouse is small but efficient. The beds are very comfortable, and the host responded to us immediately when we couldn't figure out the door combination and needed table salt!

Lovely Getaway!

This cabin was perfect for a short weekend getaway! It was clean, homey, and comfortable. We loved the fire pit in the yard and were pleasantly surprised by how good the shower was. The only negatives were that there weren’t filters for the coffee maker (we should’ve thought to bring our own, but they did provide kcups) and the internet didn’t really work. However, neither of those things put a damper on our trip.

Great weekend refresh

The treehouse was perfect for our family getaway. While we wish we had a little more time to enjoy the setting (weather wasn’t playing nice), the time we had was great. Family card games on the beautiful deck….saw the resident deer and fox. Cabin had everything we needed. Hosts were super friendly and helpful! 10/10 recommend.

Cute little place!

We loved our stay at the Jaybird Treehouse! It was well maintained, clean, and super cute. The shower was amazing, the beds were super comfortable, and our teenager and their friend loved the trap door and "bunker" under the rest of the treehouse. The ice cream maker was such a nice touch! A couple things that I feel I should note... 1) the walk down to the lake is fairly steep, and is a boardwalk rather than stairs. For us it was ok, but if we had my elderly mother with us, she would not have been able to make that trip. 2) The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked well, if not a little too loud, but the air conditioner in the main living area didn't cool the space off quite enough. On a humid, 90 degree day, this makes a big difference. Overall, we loved our time there and would recommend the treehouse to others!

Trip to Illinois

My family and I are trying to see all 50 states. This was a perfect way for us to mark off the state of Illinois. The treehouse was beautiful. There isn't very much hustle but if you enjoy outdoor adventures this is a great place to find it! After a day of hiking at Garden of the Gods and Ferne clyffe, biking at tunnel hill the lake was the perfect way to cool off and relax! The owners of the treehouse were very friendly and provided more than welcome could have ever asked for! Definitely will recommend this place to our friends and family and who knows after our trip around the map we may even return!

Elevated Elation!

This elevated cabin in the trees is beautifully constructed and decorated with every attention to detail given. From the skylight views of the trees, squirrels and stars; to the firepit, charcoal grill and ice cream maker; relaxed fun is all around you. Plenty to do in cabin with games, puzzles, wifi, and outdoor seating or cozy indoor lounging. The lake is a short path walk and there are numerous trails and wineries within short drives. The hospitality, amenities, and location are great! Alone, coupled, as a family, or with friends--this is your place to design your outdoor fun and indoor restoration. Book your stay soon!! Elevate your elation of life!

Welcoming Treehouse

We had a wonderful time at the treehouse. The decor is perfect and created a restful and welcoming vibe. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake, with great bird watching. The stargazing deck was perfect when we had a clear night, and also great for watching the lake go by. Lots of hiking in the area: Ferne Clyffe, Heron Pond and Tunnel Hill all nearby. Loved it!

Majestic and Whimsical Tree House

We had a wonderful stay at The Jaybird Treehouse. The property is clean and modern with warm and friendly decor. We loved our stay! We grilled yummy steaks and brats, made ice cream in the Cusinart Ice Cream Maker and warmed up by the firepit at night. The lake was a short walk away and we loved the paddle boat and canoe. We even tried catching a fish or two. I would recommend this place to all! Elyse
