FIRE TOWER CAMP TREEHOUSE

A Treehouse Built for Fun

There is just nothing like sleeping high above a canopy of trees with a bird’s eye view of the surroundings in a rustic treehouse. It’s as if you have suddenly become a carefree kid again - a nostalgic feeling of whimsical fun.

If you have never experienced this before, I know the perfect spot - Fire Tower Camp in Alabama. This secluded treehouse sits along 3,800 square feet of private shoreline on pristine Smith Lake and is the perfect spot to reconnect with nature.

It’s designed with playful slanted windows and a “pirate” loft with bunk beds and bean bags making it perfect for families. Yet, it’s also a charming and tranquil spot for a romantic escape.

You can relax in a hammock by the lake, listen to the sound of the lapping water as your feet dangle off the end of the wooden dock, or sip on a glass of wine around the private outdoor firepit under a canopy of stars dancing their way across the evening sky.

FIRE TOWER CAMP CABINS

Perhaps it’s the minimalist, eco-friendly environment of a tiny home that’s appealing. Maybe it’s being immersed in nature - having everything you need and nothing you don’t. Perhaps its simply the novelty of it. Whatever it is, a getaway to a tiny cabin in the woods is always fun.

In addition to the Fire Tower Camp treehouse, there are three tiny home cabins located on the property - Comfy Cabin, Evergreen Cabin and Rustic Cabin.

Each cabin is designed with a rustic farmhouse charm, natural lighting and a minimalist flare. They each have private outdoor firepits and some have BBQ grills. Comfy Cabin has a full kitchen and the others have kitchenettes.

No matter which you choose to stay in, you will have full access to the lake, the dock, hammocks and kayaks.

They also make a perfect getaway for larger families who want to rent more than one cabin to be nearby each other.

SMITH LAKE

Fire Tower Camp is located only about an hour from Huntsville and 2-1/2 hours from Nashville on Smith Lake in Northern Alabama. Smith Lake is a reservoir with crystal clear water located on the Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior River, covering over 21,000 acres and 500 miles of shoreline.

It is well known for its diverse fishing especially bass and striped bass as well as largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass. Some have weighed in at 40-50 pounds or more. I don’t know a lot about fishing but I read that it’s great for honing your drop shot and shakyhead techniques, top water and crankbait. The best fishing is in spring, winter, daytime in the fall, and summer nights.

Smith Lake is also the perfect spot for outdoor activities like swimming, boating, wake surfing, kayaking and more.
