About

Pack a lunch and paddle down river with your family or friends to our Treehouse to enjoy a private 3 hour experience overlooking the beautiful Waccamaw River. This unique adventure is something you can't experience anywhere else. Our 2 bedroom Treehouse sits on a private 48 acre island in the middle of the Waccamaw River just 7 miles outside of North Myrtle Beach, SC. You will enjoy the short 15 minute paddle down the river lined with beautiful bald cypress trees and southern live oaks covered in Spanish moss. Once at the Treehouse you can relax in one of the rocking chairs on the top deck, enjoy your packed lunch and drinks or explore the area on foot or kayak. Feel free to stay at the Treehouse or explore the river for the full 3 hours or come back earlier if you desire. Throughout the year the river level can change dramatically based on rainfall amounts. Sometimes the river is only a foot deep with white sandy river banks on each side and at times there is a foot or more of water on the island giving a beautiful over-water bungalow feel to the Treehouse. You will get wet accessing the kayaks and Treehouse, it could be as little as ankle deep and at times knee deep. Give us a call to discuss the current conditions.

Adventure Tips

Bring waterproof gear

Water activities like kayaking and boating can splash you, so waterproof bags or cases will protect your valuables.

Wear insect repellent

The river environment can attract mosquitoes, especially near dusk; insect repellent helps keep bites at bay.

Arrive early for choice of transport

Early arrival ensures your preferred option—kayak or pontoon—is available for the trip to the island.

Pack light but bring snacks

There’s limited storage on the boat and in the treehouse, but having snacks will keep you energized during the trip.
