The lofted cabin features a [timber-clad exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prospect-berkshires-resort) with an open interior, suited with everything any guest could need for a comfortable weekend. The space offers an eat-in kitchen, living space, sleeping mezzanine and a fully-functional bathroom -- creating a cabin that has all of the amenities of a classic home. The large glazed panels are angled around the entire treehouse to offer spectacular views of the beautiful landscape in every room. Finally, the Willow Treehouse has a large outdoor terrace with a wood-fired hot tub that overlooks the pond, offering a unique travel experience for anyone looking for an escape from the city.
