Summertime and the living is easy

Bear Claw Treehouse is located on a 2 acre triangle bordered on the north by historic Big Canoe Creek. The treehouse is nestled into a group of trees with ground supports and easy access. There are several platforms around the property to enjoy the views. A canoe with vests and paddles are provided, the creek when normal is easily navigated up or down stream. A Creek Indian village known as Littafatchee was 1/2 mile up creek, DeSoto and his conquistadors rode thru here in 1540. Visit bearclawtreehouse.com for more info.

Weekend in Birmingham

This place is very charming. It's off the beaten path and that's a nice change of scenery for sure. This time of year, it was especially nice because of the cool weather. I'd stay there again.

Relaxing!

It’s a great spot on the creek, great fishing. Our granddaughter 3-1/2yo visited us and had a blast. Tree house is perfect for a getaway or staycation. We’re locals and really enjoyed ourselves.looking forward to booking again.

Our stay was very peaceful. This was a unique experience and I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking to get away for a few nights to feel refreshed and renewed. Jim was an excellent host and was always just a phone call away when needed. We will definitely be going back!
