Treehouse in Canada: Canopee Lit

Canopee Lit is a dream come true, for the family that built it and for the guests that stay here. The 14 treehouses and cabins sit on 24 hectares of woodland and they have been constructed in such a way to allow for maximum appreciation of all that nature has to offer. Five kilometers of trails meander through the area, with interpretation on some of the trails so that guests may learn a little about their surroundings while staying at these wonderful treehouses in Canada. It is obvious that the family that created this place loves to spend time in nature and has done everything possible to encourage that same love in their guests.

The treehouses at Canopee Lit sit very comfortably among the spruces, maples, birches, and alders that make up the surrounding forest. All are built on stilts so as to minimize the damage that construction can sometimes inflict on old trees. The elevation of course allows for extra special views from the decks of each house and also allows for a feeling of secrecy among the forest. There is something about being a few meters off the ground that makes one blend in a little more with the surroundings, and therefore more opportunities for sighting wildlife are afforded.

Parking for Canopee Lit is only at the main entrance to the resort. Therefore, each treehouse is only accessible by foot. This, of course, adds to the tranquility of the spot, and the only sounds guests will hear from their accommodation are those of the wind in the trees, the water in the streams, and the calls of the animals. Some of the cabins feature sensational skylights, directly above the bed, so guests really do get to sleep below the stars. The more adventurous may choose to stay in one of the unusual bubbles, a completely transparent and spherical room perched on stilts.

Rates for a night at Canopee Lit starts from €170 per night. This includes a fresh breakfast delivered to your cabin every morning!
