What Fort Treehouse Company Inc. does

Fort Treehouse Co. is a Canadian design-led hospitality company founded in 2019 by Lauren and Cam Green, headquartered in Minden within Ontario's Haliburton Highlands. The company designs, builds, and operates off-grid treehouse accommodations across two properties: The Baltic, an intimate off-grid treehouse for two priced at C$495 per night, and Hårtwood, the flagship property comprising three architectural treehouses bordering a 500-acre protected nature reserve, complemented by The Hydda — a communal hub with a curated general store, coffee, and a wine bar program built in partnership with Gibson & Company. Customers are design-conscious individual travelers (primarily couples) and small groups (up to 11 guests) seeking premium, low-impact wilderness retreats in a Nordic-inspired minimalist aesthetic. Optional add-on experiences span wellness (in-suite RMT with Lesley, yoga), guided nature activities (forest picnics, foraging, naturalist walks), and food and beverage (chef-led Forest Table dinners, Wild Pours cocktail evenings, wine tastings from C$19/person).

Revenue model

1. Forest Stay Accommodations: Nightly rental of off-grid treehouse accommodations at two properties: The Baltic (sleeps 2) and Hårtwood (sleeps up to 11 across 3 treehouses). Guests book via the company website through Mews (Hårtwood) and BookedDirectly (The Baltic). Revenue is generated on a per-night, per-villa basis with rates starting at C$495/night for The Baltic.
2. The Hydda — Wine Bar & Provisions: The Hydda operates as a communal gathering space at Hårtwood, offering a curated wine program (low-intervention producers, built with Gibson & Company), coffee, simple provisions, and small plates. It serves both overnight guests and day visitors, generating revenue through food and beverage sales. It may also be reserved for private off-peak gatherings and full-property buy-outs.
3. Add-On Experiences: Optional paid experiences are offered to guests, including guided wine tastings (from $19/person), RMT massage treatments, yoga/movement sessions, chef-prepared dinners (The Forest Table), Wild Pours cocktail evenings, and forest picnics. These are coordinated with local partner providers and represent an upsell revenue stream on top of base accommodation bookings.

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Airbnb dominates short-term vacation rental distribution globally and increasingly highlights unique stays (including treehouses) as a key category. Comparable as the incumbent platform shaping demand and pricing benchmarks for boutique, design-led listings like Fort's treehouses, though Fort uses direct booking to avoid Airbnb commissions.
• Six Senses: Six Senses operates a global portfolio of luxury nature-anchored hotels and resorts emphasizing wellness, sustainability, and architectural integration with environment. Comparable as the high-end incumbent demonstrating the demand ceiling for design-led, sustainability-positioned nature luxury hospitality.
• Hipcamp: Hipcamp is a leading US-based outdoor accommodation booking platform that aggregates private land camping, glamping, and unique stays (including treehouses). Comparable as a broad incumbent distributing and shaping demand in the same unique-stay category where Fort competes.
• Under Canvas: Under Canvas operates safari-tent glamping near US national parks (Yellowstone, Moab, Yosemite, Acadia) with upscale amenities and group event programming. Comparable as a larger-scale luxury outdoor hospitality operator in the same experiential luxury tier, though more standardized and tent-based rather than treehouse-based.

Direct peers

• Collective Retreats: Collective Retreats operates luxury outdoor hospitality experiences in US national parks and unique landscapes (e.g., Yellowstone, Hudson Valley). Comparable concept: small-footprint, design-led, nature-anchored stays with elevated food and beverage programming at premium nightly rates.
• Postcard Cabins: Postcard Cabins (formerly Getaway) operates a network of tiny off-grid cabins near major US cities (NYC, Boston, Atlanta, DC) for screen-free nature getaways. Direct comparable: small-footprint off-grid dwellings, direct-booking model, similar "disconnect to reconnect" positioning aimed at urban millennials.
• Cabinscape: Cabinscape operates a portfolio of boutique off-grid cabins in Ontario's scenic regions with a similar direct-booking, design-led positioning. Comparable in geography (Ontario), scale (small portfolio of nature-immersed units), and target market (urban escape-seeking couples and small groups).
• Whitepod: Whitepod operates luxury eco-pods in the Swiss Alps with a strong focus on design, nature immersion, and off-grid sustainability. Direct comparable: design-led, low-impact, premium outdoor lodging pursuing experiential travelers seeking nature without sacrificing comfort.
• Free Spirit Spheres: Free Spirit Spheres operates spherical treehouse accommodation units in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia. It is the most directly comparable Canadian operator: small, design-forward, suspended tree-based lodging targeting experiential travelers.
• AutoCamp: AutoCamp operates Airstream and cabin-based boutique outdoor stays across California, Oregon, and New York with design-forward accommodations and on-site food and beverage. Comparable as a multi-property boutique outdoor hospitality brand targeting design-conscious urban travelers.
