Hello, and thanks for stopping in! We are Kati and Darin Robison, your Montana Treehouse Retreat owners. We had dreamt about building a treehouse for quite some time. It wasn't until we purchased our 7 acre property outside of Whitefish in 2012, that our dreams started to become a reality. We are both 4th generation Montanans with a true love of Montana and what it has to offer. We enjoy spending our time outdoors in the surrounding areas boating, snowboarding, cross country skiing, gardening and trying to keep up with our 2 young wild sons.

We were cast to build our first treehouse, The Meadowlark Treehouse with the talented build team, The Treehouse Guys from the DIY Network. They were on our property for approximately 6 weeks and framed the treehouse of our dreams in April/May of 2016.

After the treehouse show filming was over, we were left to do all of the finishing interior touches of the Meadowlark Treehouse and the infrastructure to make this a luxury treehouse including fully plumbed bathrooms, heat and even air conditioning! Darin finished the treehouse along with a trusty crew of friends (shout out to Sean Donovan and John Colliander of Treeworks, West Glacier) and family including "the old man crew" which consisted of both of our dads well into their 60's but full of enthusiasm and Darin's brother David helping with the exterior welding of the iron railings and more. We used a combination of locally sourced materials and reclaimed materials to give it an authentic Montana rustic feel.

This whole project has been a true adventure in every sense of the word and has consumed our every minute from conception of the project to completion of the build. We have put a lot of heart and soul into making sure this is the final artistic vision we set out to build. We hope that is clear when you see the treehouse for the first time or step into it. We wanted that wow factor.

Since the build of The Meadowlark Treehouse, we built the Raven’s Nest Treehouse which is a beautifully designed A Frame treehouse nestled in the trees. For this build, we did it all on our own from inception of the idea to the final build. Having the two existing working treehouses has motivated us to finish out the Montana Treehouse Retreat project with our final build. Why not transform a boat into a treehouse?

We are currently in the midst of rebuilding a salvaged 1966 Trojan Sea Voyager into it’s final resting place in the trees. It has been our vision to build each treehouse completely in a new style from the others. It has been challenging, rewarding, fun, exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

We strive to provide our guests a unique and unforgettable luxury stay high up in the trees as a "home base" while you explore the Flathead Valley, Whitefish Mountain Resort, Glacier Park and surrounding areas. Montana has so much to offer. We hope the Montana Treehouse Retreat is the perfect place for you to reconnect with the ones you love, nature, and find some piece of mind. We look forward to meeting you soon!
