Nestled within the lush greenery of Crane Hill, Alabama, the Firefly Treehouses offer a retreat like no other.
One such enchanting abode is “Wanderlust,” a haven suspended amidst the treetops on 40 acres of pristine forest.
We’ll embark on a virtual journey through the tranquil oasis of Wanderlust, exploring the details, amenities, and unparalleled experience it provides for those seeking a couple’s retreat, honeymoon, or a spiritual reconnection with nature.
The Allure of Wanderlust
Wanderlust is more than just a treehouse; it’s an invitation to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
With check-in days on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, guests have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a slower, more intentional pace of life.
Perched 15 feet above the ground, this adult-only retreat ensures a peaceful and safe environment, fostering a sense of serenity that is crucial for those looking to unwind.
Location and Accessibility
Conveniently located just 20 minutes from I65 and an hour from either Birmingham or Huntsville, Wanderlust provides easy access to urban amenities while maintaining a secluded, natural atmosphere.
Its proximity to the boat launch for Smith Lake, only 10 minutes away, makes it a perfect choice for water enthusiasts with ample parking space for boats.
Outdoor Enchantment
The allure of Wanderlust extends beyond its elevated perch.
Guests are encouraged to explore the 40 acres of forest, nature trails, and a seasonal 2-acre lake, creating opportunities for quiet reflection and connection with the surroundings.
The deck outside the treehouse becomes a haven for morning coffee, offering glimpses of the resident deer as they gracefully traverse the landscape.
Adults-Only Retreat
Wanderlust maintains an adults-only policy, ensuring a tranquil and safe atmosphere for guests.
The decision is rooted in the treehouse’s height and design, emphasizing the importance of safety and creating an environment conducive to relaxation and introspection.
Additionally, Wanderlust is strictly an animal-free zone due to severe allergies.
Luxury Glamping Experience
Wanderlust offers a luxury glamping experience, emphasizing the escape from conventional routines.
The kitchen area is not a full kitchen but rather tailored for a unique glamping adventure.
Outdoor showers, a quintessential part of the experience, are closed from December 1st to February 28th due to freezing temperatures.

This shared space enhances the overall experience, allowing guests to connect with nature and each other in a communal yet private setting.

The treehouse is furnished with a starter set of paper products for the first night.
The kitchen, although not a full setup, includes a gas grille, Keurig coffee maker, crockpot, electric skillet, basic utensils, a bagel toaster, microwave, and a mini-fridge without a freezer compartment.
