"The Birdhouse"

Designed and built as a passion-project, The Birdhouse was crafted for relaxation, seclusion, and to reconnect with nature. The treehouse sits on its own private parcel of land with a long, winding driveway to the parking and campfire area. From the yard, you'll be able to observe and engage with the farm's cattle when they come by. Inside, you can disconnect and unwind. The dwelling is completely unique and provides a very special feeling when you're relaxing in the trees.

The space
Upon arrival, you'll enter the property through a pair of black farm gates and wind down the gravel driveway to the parking and campfire area. There is ample room for 2 cars to park if necessary, however the treehouse is designed for 2 people. Please respect the neighbouring properties and do not cross any fences!
Throughout the property, there is a ton of space for bocce, lawn darts or just hanging out in the hammock. Along the North side of the driveway is the pasture where the resident Scottish Highland cattle graze. They are friendly, curious animals, with a ton of beneficial traits. You'll hear Agnes' bell jingling as they make their rounds. (Pro Tip: they love sliced apples).
As you walk up to the treehouse you will cross a cable suspension bridge heading to the front door. You will enter your personalized code (that we'll provide you a day before) into the smart-lock for a streamline no-contact check in.
Inside you will find a cozy custom kitchen with (most of) what any kitchen needs. Pots, pans, cutlery, dishes and basic utensils are all in there for your use. Because it’s tiny, it doesn't have everything a big kitchen might have, so try to think simple for meal plans. It is also equipped with: a small fridge, toaster, induction cooktop, dish rack, French Press, kettle, salt/pepper/oil and spices.
Past the kitchen is a small love-seat and little collection of books. The love-seat can fold out to sleep a child but it gets pretty tight! If you do wish to bring your kids, please let us know right away so we can make sure to supply extra bedding. The additional cost is $35 per night / per child, but again, the space is tiny!
Out the back of the building is a pair of French doors that open up to a cedar deck and chairs with an awesome view of the mountains. It's great for stargazing at night and your coffee in the morning.
Back inside there is a rolling library ladder that you climb up to the sleeping loft. Please make sure you lock it at the bottom before climbing up. If you have trouble with ladders or are claustrophobic, sadly, this dwelling won't be enjoyable for you. Up in the loft is an ultra comfy mattress and silky smooth bamboo sheets. You'll be looking up at the stars and branches through the pair of skylights overhead (you might want to bring a sleep mask if you need it to be dark in the morning!). We have a TV and Treehouse wifi for the ultimate Netflix and Chill experience.
There is a toilet room with an actual flush toilet which is quite rare for a treehouse or tiny home, but very convenient. There is no vanity in the toilet room but the kitchen sink (and everything else) is close by. Again, everything inside the treehouse is very compact so please be prepared for tight quarters and simple living.
One of my favourite features it offers is the outdoor shower; there’s not much better than being naked outside. It’s simple to use, just like any regular shower, but you'll need to walk across the bridge and down a gravel path so please bring slippers or sandals! We will provide you with shampoo, conditioner and towels.
Our number one goal is to provide a memorable and relaxing stay, that helps guests disconnect from the stresses of everyday life, and reconnect with nature. Our second goal, is to do so without disrupting neighbours, the environment, and the animals. Please respect the land and help us continue to be able to share it with others.

Where you’ll be

Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada

The Birdhouse is located in Ryder Lake, which is a quiet little community in the mountains, with tons of hills and thick forest. The fenced property is quite private and spacious, but if you want to get out for a hike or bike ride, there is lots near by. All of the roads around the area are pretty scenic and nice for bike riding. Mt. Thom is 3 minutes away and is a quick / easy hike - you could even walk all the way to the trailhead too if you wanted. The popular, and more challenging, hike up Elk Mountain is also nearby and is perfect for a full day activity. 10 minutes down the mountain is the Vedder River and the trail along it. 10 minutes past that is Cultus Lake. Pubs and breweries are 17 minutes away, including Old Yale Brewing which is great to visit all year round.
