TREEHOUSE 3 — A LUXURY TREEHOUSE EXPERIENCE AT STARVED ROCK

Welcome to our boutique nature retreat on 26 private wooded acres directly beside Starved Rock State Park.

Four luxury treehouses are thoughtfully positioned across the land for privacy while sharing rare amenities like a private footbridge into Starved Rock’s trail system, a peaceful creekside dock leading to the Illinois River, and a dramatic sandstone bluff that borders the property.

This is not staying beside nature — it’s living within it.

Wake in the treetops. Step onto expansive two-story decks overlooking forest and bluff. Hike directly into Starved Rock from your steps. Paddle the river. End the day beside a fire as the sandstone bluff glows softly at night.

Just 90 minutes from Chicago, yet completely immersed in nature.
