Cozy City Treehouse Retreat

Our treehouse is a unique, handcrafted, rustic experience, it may not be for everyone. It is called The ReImaginator after a machine in my first children's book that restored stolen imaginations because building this space was the first step Robbie and I took in following our own dreams - we hope it inspires you to do the same. The treehouse is at the bottom of a forest like garden in the heart of Kilkenny, just 10 minutes walk from the town centre. A true rural retreat in an urban setting.
