Notes from the host
The Tree House
Escape to 30 acres of serene woodland along Black Creek at The Tree House in Middleburg, FL. This expansive 1-bedroom, 2-bath entire home offers a private wraparound porch, fire pit for starlit evenings, and a boat launch just steps away.
Inside, unwind in the bright living area with vaulted beams or challenge friends in the lower-level game room (“man cave”) complete with darts and bean bags. The gourmet kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a warming drawer—perfect for cooking fresh catches from your kayak or inflatable raft adventures (provided). The elegant owner’s suite features a king bed, double sinks, sunken tub, and walk-in shower for ultimate relaxation.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love launching canoes, fishing poles, or paddleboards on Black Creek (license required) and returning to grill on the BBQ area surrounded by nature. Ample free parking, pet-friendly policy, high-speed WiFi, air conditioning, and self check-in with keypad make life easy.
Just 25 minutes from downtown Jacksonville, our peaceful retreat strikes the perfect balance between lakeside adventure and city convenience. Ideal for families, couples, and small groups seeking a unique getaway.
Book now for a tranquil escape under the pines and create memories around the fire pit under endless Florida skies!
Pet Friendly - additional cleaning/pet hair removal fee required. Pets must be disclosed in advance. Fee is per pet. All dogs are to be treated with Advantage or similar topical flea and tick repellent three (3) days prior to arrival. Fleas and ticks are very rampant in this area and can cause harmful/fatal illness to humans and pets. All items above are the sole responsibility of the dog owner. Failure to disclose the pet in advance will result in a $500 fee. Max pets is 3.
Our max occupancy is 4 guests anytime day/night - not just overnight - which is also noted in the house rules/booking agreement.**
Bring your boat, RV - even your tent - if you really want to camp out! The Main St boat ramp is minutes away. RV - depending on size - must be disclosed in advance. There is no dumping station or electricity available for RV use.
Entry to the grounds is thru an open gate that has 2 brick column walls on either side. You will follow the path as it winds through the woods until you reach the Tree House. Please be aware - it will be bumpy and may be affected if it is raining at all. Low sitting vehicles will not navigate the path very well - so be aware! This property is managed by Noise Aware, Minut Monitoring and a Ring Camera on the exterior. That is for the safety & security of everyone and to ensure occupancy compliance. As noted in the House Rules and Booking Agreement - Any additional persons over what has been requested in the reservation may result in immediate eviction, a $500 fine and no refund. We do have weekly mowing service that handles the yard/area immediately surrounding the house.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Guest Arrival is anytime 4pm EST or after. If the property is approved for early arrival, you will receive a message letting you know you can arrive early and we will activate the door code. If you do not receive a message, then the arrival will remain at 4pm EST.
Guest Departure is anytime 10am EST or before. If you have not departed by this time and do not have written prior approval for a late departure, you will be assessed a $50 late departure fee for every 30 minute delay. The Cleaning Services we use schedule their teams for multiple cleans in advance and any unplanned delays create issues. With unscheduled/unapproved late departures, they are required to bring in additional team members to assist, which incurs a higher cost that must be charged. Any requests made for a late departure must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance of departure time and are subject to approval/availability.
*we have well water so please be aware of that in advance
**Propane Tank (1) Included - Propane level is monitored and the tank will be filled to be in the "green". If the tank runs out, you would need to have it refilled at your own expense. Tanks may be refilled at Publix, Home Depot, True Value Hardware. Firewood is not provided, however there is a lot of down limbs and trees around the 30+ acres that may be used. Trees may not be chopped down for firewood use.
