RARE Spacious Treehouse & Sauna Near Des Moines | Cabina en Norwalk

Come home to luxury in nature in this spacious, double king-bed treehouse and sleep among the stars.
Expansive views of rolling hills greet you as you sip your pour-over coffee on the wrap around balcony twenty feet above ground. Rain? No problem. Tuck away on the three-season screened-in porch to watch the iconic Iowa pink sunsets.
Built with special touches including stained glass and intricate woodwork, this treehouse boasts warmth throughout and is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime get-away.
The space
The scent of pine will carry you through a wooded trail that opens to this spacious treehouse towering 30 feet above the ground. Climb the unique staircase, thoughtfully crafted with historic details, wrapped around a 75 year old tree. Inside, two lofts, each boasting a king-size bed, welcome you to sleep easy or sleep late, because there's no need to rush and nowhere to be, unless you want --
This unique treehouse has its own space on our 22-acre property, centrally located and close to Des Moines. With just a few nearby houses you'll feel secluded enough, but enjoy the option for quick access (23 minutes) to downtown Des Moines, (17 minutes) to shopping at Jordan Creek Mall, (6 minutes) to Middlebrook, Iowa's first agri-hood, The Mercantile, and Wilson's Orchard.
Bring your bikes (or rent from our recommended shop) and hop on the Great Western Trail, just a 2 minute drive down the road. On two wheels you can explore eclectic places to grab a bite to eat, a drink or coffee, and live music in the summer. Don't worry about planning, we'll give you the route and all the details to make a full day of riding one to remember!
Prefer to stay close? Dance around the kitchen to the record player, curl up with one (or many) books from our eclectic collection, or explore nature through the nearby stream and walking paths. Start or end your day with a one-of-a-kind sauna experience in our traditional wood-fire sauna, perfect for rejuvenation, improved sleep, and warming up in the winter months.
The treehouse is 350 sq ft with a cozy couch and chair, plus spacious kitchen with a dining table for four, a two-burner propane stove, electric kettle and Chemex for pour-over coffee, and fridge for your use. There is a mini-split system to make sure you're comfortable no matter the outside temps.
Sleep among the stars in your own private loft with a latching door. Each loft has a roomy king bed with cozy, cotton bedding, plus a remote controlled fan, and you’ll find blackout curtains hidden in the headboard for your deepest sleep.
Enjoy morning birdsongs (maybe catch an owl nesting in its nearby box) on the wrap-around balcony where you can see for miles in the distance, or find yourself surrounded by stars each night. Our property is loved for its low light pollution. Sneak out the stained-glass door for a midday nap or a board game on the screened-in porch, where rain and bugs will be no bother.
Two lower-level outdoor seating areas make for easy meals or enjoying an evening fire. You’ll find a picnic table, a two-person hammock, and benches around a fire pit with chopped wood stocked nearby. Feel free to cook dinner on the charcoal grill, or upstairs in the kitchen.
This space is perfect for families or friends traveling together. For those visiting with children, we have books, blocks, board games, puzzles, and magnifying glasses for nature exploration. Each loft has a latch to lock for privacy and safety, and we provide removable ladder covers to restrict climbing of younger guests.

*Please note, this home is not suited for those with mobility challenges due the number of stairs and loft ladders required to climb. Guests are responsible for monitoring and ensuring safety of their children for the duration of their stay. Lo ko

Other things to note
The treehouse does not contain a bathroom. There is a shared, modern bathroom and wood-fired sauna approximately 250 ft away. As we have two rental properties, the sauna can be reserved on a first-come basis as designated on a sign-up sheet during your stay. If the sauna is in use or reserved, please return shortly to enjoy your turn. We provide headlamps and all paths are lit with solar lights for evening walks and bathroom visits.
