LaFayette Cottage | The Magical Chez Tree Rest Treehouse perched 35' above the forest floor!

1 Bedroom Cottage in LaFayette

Your hosts, Tom and Lisa Wallace, are happy to welcome you to The Chez Tree Rest, our 2 story treehouse perfectly perched under a heavily canopied scenic hillside - 35' above the forest floor on 2 towering Maple trees. As you walk to the treehouse across the 60' cable bridge you will feel the stress and cares of everyday life melt away. The treehouse is 150 square feet of pure magic and the perfect spot for a romantic getaway high up in the trees.
Our treehouse is located on 20 acres of hardwood forest just outside of the sleepy village of Lafayette, NY - 10 miles south of Syracuse, NY and 24 miles north of Cortland, NY. Just a very short drive to wine country and the Finger Lakes region. As you arrive at the property, you will find a wonderful burgundy gold leaf sign and a gravel road which leads down a 1/4 mile drive to the treehouse. There is a security gate at the beginning of the road which should be open. If it happens to be closed, it is not locked so you will be able to manually push it open.
The treehouse itself is accessed across a 60' cable bridge. There are only a few (7) stone steps which lead down to the bridge and then it is an easy walk up to the treehouse. Below the treehouse is a large, (320 square feet), deck protected by a timber frame pavilion with a fire pit and ample seating. The deck also provides the location of the shower (with on demand hot water) and a propane BBQ grill. There is also a separate fire pit area below the treehouse which has plenty of seating and a stone edged fire ring.
There is a convenient, tiny bathroom in the treehouse with a composting toilet. A couple of years ago, we added full time electricity and potable water as well. There is a small, electric heater for those cooler nights.
There is a great deal of outdoor relaxing space on the treehouse level as well. There is approximately 80 square feet of decking connected to the treehouse. In addition, there is a separate 12' octagon deck that is anchored on a separate tree connected to the main deck by another 30' cable bridge.
For cooking, we provide a propane camp stove and a microwave oven. There is also a BBQ grill on the lower deck below the treehouse. All the pots, pans, Keurig coffee maker, silverware and other utensils you should need will be provided.
Let the trees gently sway you to sleep amidst the soothing sounds of barred owls and the babbling brook.

Summary: EVERYTHING as described and more. Place was so clean you'd of thought we were the first guests. Hosts were very accessible via text during our stay. The construction of this tree house is amazing and detailed. The ability to sit at a fire even during rain was a plus and complete with barn owls calling in the distance at night. Minutes away from a small town with a great breakfast diner, but completely secluded in the woods. We just can't say enough about how cool this place is.

Summary: Exquisitely designed treehouse nearly 40 ft up in the canopy. Absolutely loved the quiet, peaceful woodland during our 2 night stay. Spent almost all of our time sitting on the sky porch enjoying our surroundings including the babbling brook beneath us. Close to great restaurants, orchards, wineries/breweries and hiking trails complete with waterfalls. Will definitely go back!

Summary: Such a magical place. Attention to detail was amazing. We cooked a great dinner on the grill down at the lower deck with a nice evening fire and a glass of wine. I was so looking forward to an outdoor shower and this one really hit the mark, a great treat. Highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you to our hosts Tom and Lisa. We will be back.

Summary: My husband and I booked the treehouse for an adventurous anniversary getaway. The treehouse was amazing- so quaint and cozy. The tree deck and the pavilion under the treehouse were great places to hang out. Coffee on the tree deck listening to the birds in the morning. Fires, food and drinks at night under the pavilion. We left the treehouse feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Summary: The set up and decorations were lovely. Very peaceful and ideal for a romantic get away. However, the compost toilet was inside the treehouse where as other treehouse stays we’ve visited had the toilet outside with the shower. This caused a foul smell inside the cabin and was difficult to Even want to use the bathroom as there were nats everywhere. While the compost toilet is a great idea having it inside where you also eat and make food was not ideal.

Summary: It was very nice. Outdoor deck with firepit made the experience. The mention of the propane stovetop was as a tad deceiving because it was a portable model kept under the stairs on a butcher block cart. Also, the pictures made it seem as if there were 2 places to sit, rather than 1. The pics showed a different pattern in one of them and a different placement of furniture, so we thought there was more than 1 pace to sit. Also, more lighting is needed to read at night.

Summary: Our treehouse stay was more than I expected. The grounds surrounding the treehouse are so peaceful and relaxing. From the sounds of the small stream below to the birds chirping, I loved the serenity. I could not stop smiling the entire time I was there. I was concerned that the treehouse would be hot without air conditioning but with the treehouse being nestled beneath a canopy of tree’s, the provided fan kept us cool at night, even in the middle of our August stay. Everything was perfect.

Summary: I was looking for a place that was ultra-special, and that would not soon be forgotten, to celebrate my wife's birthday, combined with her recent, well-deserved promotion... and, I got it !! The pictures of this place are amazing... but, they actually don't do it justice. Nothing like kicking back with a cocktail, a glass of wine, your special little lady, all while reclined among the tree tops, watching the hummingbirds and woodpeckers. The thought, ingenuity, passion, and crafsmanship that went into creating this haven is evident at every turn. You would never know you're a mere 5 minutes from stores, gas, as well as a major artery such as I-81... not to mention, only around 15 minutes from the metropolis of Syracuse! Tom and Lisa were very responsive and surprisingly flexible ... even when booked solid. Strongly recommend for someone in search of getting off (but not necessarily too far from) "the grid", while seeming to be in another world. And, they thought of all of your everyday conveniences. Pragmatically magical" would sum it up, I guess. We will be back.

Summary: Everything about this place is so perfect that you won't want to go back to the daily grind. The hosts, Tom and Lisa, have paid attention to every detail and every comfort of home away from home.
