Heya 
Yes, all systems go here, I’ve had video production companies flying drones around, interior designers doing their thing, website being built and most importantly, the treehouse build starts in the next week or two, can’t wait to see it take shape!
It’s a quick build, Hoping to launch for Valentine’s Day!
We are aiming to do a big website and social media launch at the beginning of December, and we will have the booking software live at this time to take prebookings!
For people willing to take the leap of faith and pre book, will get a discount, plus the PH discount of course

Genuinely well done.
I would definitely be an "Early adopter" and book, no issue with that at all.
Let me/us know how and when.
All over it mate.

Any updates
The missus is pestering me!
Heya Taita, The missus is pestering me!
Updates wise, its all going well, the building structure is finished, doing staircases, doors and windows etc now, then onto the flooring, kitchens and bathrooms first week of Jan, its going to be special, thats for sure!
Booking/website wise, we were hoping to be live before xmas but looking like the start of Jan now, still aiming to be up and running in Feb though!
Apologies about the delay, there will be a pre booking discount and a PH discount, so I'll be sure to let you all know when its live
Keep an eye out for this going live in the meantime https://ravendere.co.uk/
I don't do these sort of holidays for a few reasons, money and other commitments being one, but the fact im painfully single mostly...
However, I do like the idea, and this is what would be important for me and potential Mrs:
- Parking AT the lodge for a car.
- "Stuff to do" locally (ie the sea-side / pubs / nice little towns etc)
- A proper supermarket close-ish, I don't want to have to rely on an on-site mini-market as it WONT have what i want.
- INTERNET! - as much as it's a holiday, sometimes we just need to do stuff, or get bored of each-other.

Thanks for the support and encouragement all, I'll upload some pics later this week.
Well the good news is, lots of stuff to do (we are walking distance to beach, pub, restaurant etc and lots of things to do around here), got a Tesco and a Lidl in a 10 min drive and fibre optic wifi in the treehouse too!
Bad news is, you cant park at the treehouse, but its only a 2 min stroll

You dont need a mrs to enjoy it, to be honest, the idea of chilling in a treehouse for the weekend, fire on, drink in hand and a good book sounds bliss to me!However, I do like the idea, and this is what would be important for me and potential Mrs:

we're almost your target (no kids or pooch) and love the idea of secluded but with ready access to pub/restaurant, keeping my eye on ya, but we did a couple of days in a cottage in beer last year (similar idea with breakfast basket etc) so devons out till maybe 2019; if the mrs clocks you though who knows...Updates wise, its all going well, the building structure is finished, doing staircases, doors and windows etc now, then onto the flooring, kitchens and bathrooms first week of Jan, its going to be special, thats for sure!

Is the location on google maps correct?
I wouldn’t mind a couple of nights on the way back from Le Mans Classic this year, PH discount naturally!
Feel free to email me if you have anything up and running we can take a look at, photobucket have killed all the photo links in the thread.
Yes, I think the location is correct, assuming thats showing Lee bay! Assume you must be Cornwall, if its the way back, or does the ferry to laharve bring you down this way?I wouldn’t mind a couple of nights on the way back from Le Mans Classic this year, PH discount naturally!

Update wise, we have hit a bit of a delay again unfortunately, I wont bore you with the details just yet, but still on track for an opening in the next few months, will keep the thread up to date along the way
Sorry for the delays, to keep things brief, we were scammed by a rouge builder and lost a fair chunk of our lifes savings, we are going through the solicitors and courts as we speak and its going to be a painful and log process, probably ending in him walking away scot free.
Anyway, the good news is, we have a new crew on site as they were willing to pick up the pieces and act quickly, so with a lot of hope, a bit of goodwill, some borrowed money and some determination, we are back in the game!
The new builders (A proper treehouse building firm) have been here since Monday, not much to show yet as its all been foundations and groundworks, but will keep the thread upto date, or start one in HGADIY.
Post photobucket screw up, where is the best place to host pics now?
We are planning to be open for business by the end of May, so quite a quick build!
4 treehouse builders, 2 electricians, 2 groundworks guys, 2 dumpers, one digger and a telehandler all here today, so its all go!
