TREETOPS! A Reunion/Retreat/Event estate! JULY OPENINGS Seasonal POOL! Sleeps 12

Treetops is perfect for family reunions, work retreats, "rest and relax" retreats, yoga retreats, writers' workshops, and even small weddings! Spa services right in town, 5 minutes away. Stroll along the loop trail in our backyard woods, hike in acres of beautiful "Westwoods" next door, visit the town green with lovely shops, swim at Jacobs beach, have s'mores by the natural stone fire pit, or relax and get some sun by the marine-blue, stone decked pool area with flower garden! Birdwatching, breakfast, yoga, and evening cocktails are best on the spacious wrap-around deck. We also have an incredible library, fireplaces, and even a baby grand piano!
The space The inside of Treetops is spectacular, where classic and modern styles blend. Antiques are plentiful but so too are modern paintings, sculptures, and other unique art. Our love of indigenous cultures will be obvious, and we don't shy away from colors as well! Beautiful, lush plants give the house a welcoming, homey feel.
Treetops has vaulted ceilings, and an open and spacious floor plan. There is a great kitchen with new appliances, a two-person breakfast nook, and an oversized dining area and living room overlooking the oversized deck mentioned above. Perfect for social gatherings of all kinds! Plentiful windows and slider doors flood the house in sunlight and fresh breezes.
The large living room has a top-of-the-line stereo system, CDs, large Smart TV, impressive fieldstone fireplace, and extensive library. Grab a book and recline on the new sofa while listening to some classical music! From there, walk into the master bedroom with more windows and wooded views, TV with DVD player and huge selection of movies, walk-out deck, and walk-in closet. The tiled bathroom has two sinks, a jetted tub for easing sore muscles, and a great shower/showerhead, with some basic amenities available for your stay. Then walk into the "Blue" room, a bedroom with 1 Twin bed and 1 Full bed overlooking the driveway with bureau, bedside table, and bookshelves. Guests in this room will share the master bathroom for bathing but can also use the half bathroom near the front entrance.
A hallway then leads to the newly appointed den, with new TV, sofas, and a second beautiful fieldstone fireplace. There are games and coloring books available in the cabinet.
Across from the den and off the main entrance is the "Yellow" room. It too is newly renovated and has a Full bed, large built-in desk overlooking the pool, views galore, and a cozy reading nook that can also double as a second place to sleep.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, "The Queen", with a queen-size bed, and "The Twins" with -- you guessed it -- 2 twin beds. Both rooms have bureaus, bedside tables, one or two oversized windows, sound machines, fans, and their own full bathroom. You are really in the treetops up here! Enjoy your stay.
Other things to note Nightly rate is for 6 guests. additional guests are 60 dollars a night.
We are near some railroad tracks and a few times a day, mostly morning and evening, trains go by. You will definitely hear them if you are awake, but we have never been bothered by them when sleeping.
The Pool is scheduled to be available between Memorial Day and Labor Day weather permitting.
See house rules for additional information.

This was a great spot to stay with friends, with great separate living areas and a great central living room to gather. The location is minutes from downtown Guilford and was very convenient to do and see everything. I would not recommend bringing small children because there is so much beautiful artwork all around the house, but it’s a beautiful retreat for older kids/teens and adults!
We are a close group of friends and this is our second stay at Treetops. It is truly an idyllic and wonderful place. The house is extraordinary. It's like staying in a museum! And the pool is incredible. Guilford is adorable and Madison is close by with beautiful beaches. I can't recommend staying here enough.
First visit to Connecticut. Stayed for 4 nights with my adult children and my sisters family for family wedding. Loved everything about the house. Very eclectic with lots of outdoor space next to miles of trails and close to quaint town.
By far the most unique architecture that we have ever stayed in. Every room is an adventure from its shape to the stunning artifacts from around the world. A gorgeous setting that was perfect for relaxing. Everything is first class-five star. So memorable that we are coming back next year.
We had a recent stay at Treetops during a family reunion and it was perfect. It fit a bunch of us and provided a beautiful space to relax. We had a few children in the group and we did make some clear rules at the start as the house is full of amazing artwork that was off limits for the kids.
Dan was communicative and a great host. One last tip is that the trails behind the house could fill a whole day of exploring nature. We hope to stay again soon.
Treetops is a gem! We celebrated our daughter’s graduation from Wesleyan and the cozy, green, beautiful space was welcoming, spacious and wonderfully decorated. It had plenty of room to gather and be together while allowing grandparents quiet nooks to retreat and regroup. Thank you.
Don’t hesitate in staying here. You’ll have no regrets. It’s an absolutely beautiful & welcoming home in a breathtaking private setting. My family and I and especially our grandson enjoyed every minute here.
Was a pleasure working with Dan.
We hope to come back again!
We stayed at the treetops retreat for a long weekend and we can’t wait to go back. It’s everything you can ask for and more. Dan was a great host with amazing communication. My wife and I got married on Friday night and had a bbq there with family and friends on Sunday. Plenty of space for a large family gathering / reunion. The pool and fire pit were a great bonus! Thanks
Very nice house with lovely outdoor pool area. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of room for entertaining. Short drive to Guilford Green and Docks with lots of restaurant choices. Property's manager was quick to respond and always happy to assist with any questions or requests. As noted in the listing, the train does pass by regularly, which is loud but short lived and not really an issue inside the house. We would definitely consider staying again when we’re back in the area to visit family.
This house is INCREDIBLE. The pictures do not do it justice. It's like staying in a perfectly curated museum. It's extremely comfortable and lovingly decorated. The space is so unique and inspiring. The decks are lovely for lounging. The pool is amazing. Six adults very comfortably shared the home and we had a great time! There's lots of hiking right by the property and the birdwatching is incredible at the house. Also Guilford is a very quaint and charming town with plenty of diversions and dining. It's the perfect place to unwind.
Staying at Treetops is the highlight of our year. My husband and I and our group of friends have been coming to Guilford for a few years now and it just feels like home. We love it and I can't recommend the property enough.
It was a beautiful house. The views were gorgeous. The pool was well maintained and a nice place to hangout, overall wonderful place to stay and unwind. We’d definitely come back.
This is an amazing property that is great for groups. Plenty of sleeping places, great for a remote feeling getaway with town amenities still nearby, fun and quirky decorations, and plenty of gorgeous outdoor space. There is also a hiking trail just next door to the property. The property manager was also prompt and responsive, Would happily recommend to anyone looking for a gorgeous get away.
We really enjoyed our extended family stay at this house! The house is summer unique and different. Plenty of room for the 10 of us. We loved spending time together grilling and swimming in the pool! Dan, the house manager, was great! Super friendly and helpful. We are excited to stay there again in the future!
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Lovely home, well appointed. Gracious host and responsive manager, Dan. Easy access to local attractions and adjacent to extensive hiking trails. Well worth the visit.
