WILD BY DESIGN

We know the universe is profoundly connected: when humans are in sync with the natural world, wild things can happen. Through conscious treehouse design and wilderness experiences, we are on a mission to bring humans and nature together.
our properties
The Baltic
Sleeps 2 | Off-Grid | Wood-Fired Hot Tub | Dog Friendly
Where Fort Treehouse Co. first took root.
The Baltic is an off-grid treehouse stay for two, nestled among mature maples in the Haliburton Highlands. Balancing raw wilderness with quiet comfort, it offers floor-to-ceiling forest views, a private wood-fired hot tub, and minimalist interiors designed for slow mornings and starlit nights. Intimate yet refined, it’s a true treehouse escape—immersive, elevated, and deeply connected to place.
Hårtwood
Sleeps up to 12 | 3 Treehouses | Curated General Store | Off-Grid
Fort Treehouse Co.’s flagship property.
Hårtwood is a boutique, design-led forest stay bordering a 500-acre protected nature reserve in the Haliburton Highlands. Bringing together the best of both worlds—immersive wilderness and refined design—three architectural treehouses anchor the experience, each crafted to blur the line between human and nature. Complementing the stays is The Hydda, our communal hub and curated general store with coffee, wine, and forest provisions—designed to connect you more deeply to place, people, and the wild beauty that surrounds you.

honouring the wild
We are here to design innovative methods that allow us to embrace the wild while safeguarding its future. Through our industry-leading sustainable architecture and low impact building techniques, we create spaces that harmonize with the environment, ensuring that the beauty we encounter today can be cherished by generations to come.
the power of connection
Our vision is simple: to reconnect humanity with the natural world. By curating exceptional outdoor experiences and crafting spaces meticulously designed to reawaken all five senses, we strive to guide individuals back to the roots and remind them of the wonder that lies beyond daily distractions.
high design
Inspired by the Nordic mantra: less is more. Our spaces are designed without distraction, maintaining the primary focus always on the surrounding landscape. Big windows and natural materials keep our guests connected to the wild without compromise on design.
OUR STORY
In a world where hunger for more is the norm, we yearned for something less. It was a simple ‘yes’ that changed everything – a yes to our natural surroundings, a yes to learning through observation, and a deep appreciation for nature itself.
The journey simply began with a desire for a different kind of existence, and so we stripped away everyday distractions, allowing nature to be our guide. In doing so, we discovered something profound; something we knew we had to share with others.
We are Lauren and Cam. Founders of Fort. Dreamers of wildness.
