Escape to The Treehouse – A Secluded Off-the-Grid Retreat at French Lick Farms

The Treehouse is the crown jewel of French Lick Farms, offering a one-of-a-kind, off-the-grid experience for those looking to disconnect, unwind, and reconnect with nature. Nestled among the trees, this solar- and propane-powered two-story cabin provides a peaceful and serene getaway, complete with dual-level wraparound decks and stunning views of the Lost River, surrounding woods, and neighboring farm.

Rustic Comfort with Essential Amenities

The first floor features an RV-style kitchen and bath, equipped with a propane-powered hot water heater, refrigerator, gas stove and fireplace for the winter. The dinette conveniently converts into a second bed for additional sleeping space. Step outside to the spacious outdoor patio, where you’ll find a large BBQ grill, picnic table, and firepit—perfect for campfire stories under the stars.

The second story is designed for relaxation, featuring a queen-size bed, desk, and closet. A Kenwood DDX3X sound system with Bose outdoor speakers allows you to Bluetooth connect your phone or enjoy XM radio while taking in the breathtaking views.

True Off-the-Grid Experience with Modern Conveniences
• Solar-Powered with Optional Generator – While the lights, kitchen appliances, fireplace and water heater operate on propane and solar power, an ultra-quiet generator is available to run the kitchen and bedroom AC units for warmer months.
• Cozy Fireplace & Outdoor Heating – A gas fireplace with an automatic thermostat keeps the cabin warm on chilly nights, while a potbelly wood-burning stove on the second-story deck adds extra comfort. A firepit with pre-cut wood is also available for the ultimate outdoor experience.
• USB Charging Outlets – Multiple USB ports allow for easy phone charging via solar power and batteries. There is one electrical outlet inside the Treehouse, which requires the generator to be started for operation.

Unplug & Reconnect with Nature

The Treehouse is a true digital detox, offering no Wi-Fi, cable TV, or reliable cell service—the perfect escape for those wanting to disconnect from the outside world. A TV with a DVD player and a selection of movies is available for entertainment, but there is no cable service on the property.

Is The Treehouse Right for You

✔ Ideal for guests looking for an off-the-grid adventure, nature lovers, and those seeking peace and solitude
✔ Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small groups who enjoy rustic charm with modern comforts
✘ Not ideal for those who require high-speed internet, cable TV, or a fully connected workspace

If you need a full-service stay with modern amenities, consider booking our Lodge at French Lick Farms, which offers Wi-Fi, full kitchens, and more conveniences. Feel free to ask any questions to ensure The Treehouse is the perfect fit for your stay!

    Very primitive. It would have been nice to know that you have no phone service or internet. You have to drive somewhere to use a phone.Refrigerator does not have an ice maker, it's an RV refrigerator.

    Host was very accommodating and met us after hours to show us around and get us settled. Property was amazing, clean, quiet, beautiful, and full of amenities even though it was an off grid treehouse. We will definitely be back to visit again. Highly recommend!

    I visited the tree house for a girls weekend and it was more beautiful than I was even expecting. Cindy met me the minute I pulled into the property to lead me back to the house. She was wonderful and gave me very thorough instructions on how to operate the generator, etc. The house is adorable and was so clean. The view was spectacular! We saw many deer and other wildlife and really enjoyed sitting outside by the fully stocked campfire. I highly recommend this location for a getaway with friends or a partner! I’d love to come back again and even try some of the other lodging options such as the rv sites. 10/10!

    Cindy and Sherry were very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. From the initial booking to right before we left they were easy to contact.The Treehouse is a stunning getaway where you likely won't have phone signal OR internet. It was hard at first to step away but amazing to put your phone down and enjoy the views and the silence. Clean with lots of amenities and beautiful views.You are close to French Lick - 10 minutes or so and it's an easy drive. It was fun to explore the area and then also return to a quiet evening.One of my favorite parts, so many properties essentially ask you to clean the place while then charging you a crazy cleaning fee; they only ask that you take the trash out.We plan to come back in the fall to enjoy the fall weather!

    My wife and I had a great stay and very much enjoyed exploring the 80 acres! If you want to unplug and leave the world behind for a little while, this is the place. The small cabin was very cozy, clean, and comfortable and was exactly what we were looking for!

    We spent a weekend at the Treehouse and it was amazing. Beautiful surroundings, very nice, clean and cozy place. It bought us a lot of good childhood memories back . Both the owner and the property manager were very nice , kept checking in making sure we don’t need anything. If you need a place to unwind and get away from technology, this is the place to be. Highly recommend it.

    This is off the grid with no Verizon service. Four of us were able to enjoy the outdoors, weather and wildlife as time slowed down for us when disconnecting. Bug spray is strongly suggested, there are mites everywhere outdoors in the woods. The stone path to the lonely river could use some attention. There are some fiesty, fighting catfish lurking in the pond near the lodge. Saw multiple deer every day though they will keep away from the cabin if the generator is on. Overall great place, would like to return again!

    This is a very nice property! While “ off the grid” the technology is very modern and provides a comfortable stay. I was impressed by the quality of the dishes, towels and other items. Great place for a digital detox!
