Nestled within a lush natural haven, the Yoki Treehouse was conceived as the ultimate sanctuary for couples seeking a tranquil getaway or individuals in pursuit of creative inspiration. Here, nature reigns supreme, enveloping you in its serene embrace and providing the backdrop for an unforgettable experience.

The Yoki Treehouse encompasses two distinct yet harmonious structures: a fully-equipped, luxury treehouse and a bathhouse designed to redefine relaxation. The bathhouse boasts an Onsen-style soaking tub, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling viewing windows that frame a breathtaking ravine. It's a vantage point where you can immerse yourself in the stunning location, all from the soothing confines of the bath.

Connecting these two structures is a 60-foot suspension bridge, an engineering marvel that enhances the sense of adventure and serves as a symbolic link between the natural world and the comforts of the treehouse.

True to its name, the Yoki Treehouse draws inspiration from the Hopi Native American word "yoki," which means "rain." Water plays a central role in this project, from its very name to its privileged location above a spring-fed creek, to its minimalist design philosophy.

Throughout the construction of the Yoki Treehouse, sustainability was a guiding principle. We utilized local, sustainable building materials such as cypress, spruce, and elm wood to ensure that our project harmonized with the surrounding environment. This commitment to sustainable practices reflects our deep respect for the natural world and our desire to create a space that not only coexists with nature but also celebrates it.

Escape to the Yoki Treehouse and experience the serenity of a retreat where nature and design seamlessly converge. It's a place where you can rediscover the beauty of simplicity, immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the creek, and find inspiration amidst the splendor of the natural world.
