Kalahari Resorts & Conventions Introduces the Kalahari Adventure Collection: A New Chapter in Immersive, Nature-Driven Stays
Debut project includes a distinctive mix of treehouses, lake cabins and villas in Wisconsin Dells WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis., May 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kalahari Resorts & Conventions today announced the launch of the Kalahari Adventure Collection, a new property tier defined by distinctive, experience-driven accommodations that invite guests to explore, connect and discover in unexpected ways. The first destination under this banner is now underway in Wisconsin Dells, with a bold mix of elevated treehouses, lakefront cabins and spacious villas, opening in 2026. Tucked within the woods neighboring Kalahari's flagship resort, the new development brings an entirely fresh flavor to the Kalahari experience – one where elevated design meets natural immersion. Leading the design and build of the custom treehouses is Nelson Treehouse, the renowned family-run company celebrated for its one-of-a-kind craftsmanship and iconic builds – as seen on the hit television show Treehouse Masters. Their involvement ensures that these structures won't just be memorable – they'll be unmatched. With treetop views, warm modern interiors, and high-touch finishes, the Kalahari Adventure Collection sets a new bar for families and travelers craving something truly special. Construction is now actively underway in Wisconsin Dells. Work on the Treehouse Resort began earlier this month, and by the end of this week, rough framing may start to take shape - giving guests their first glimpse of the immersive accommodations to come. Additionally, Daylene's Supper Club – a 10-000-square-foot restaurant and another key portion of the project - is set to break ground on May 19, marking the start of major site transformation. "The Kalahari Adventure Collection is a natural extension of the Kalahari brand," said Todd Nelson, CEO and Founder of Kalahari Resorts & Conventions. "While we'll always be known for our indoor waterparks and convention experiences, we're continuing to evolve - creating destination stays that are as unique as the memories they inspire. This new tier gives us room to dream bigger." The Wisconsin Dells location will feature three types of accommodations: Treehouses - Elevated, design-forward units built by Nelson Treehouse Lake Cabins - Ground-level homes with natural surroundings and direct lake access Villas - Spacious, scenic accommodations along the waterfront While the treehouses, cabins and villas in Wisconsin Dells are the first to carry the Adventure Collection name, Kalahari views this as the beginning of a larger evolution. Plans are underway to explore how this new brand tier could be adapted and expanded to future developments at other Kalahari locations nationwide. "We're always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what's possible," added Nelson. "The Adventure Collection opens the door to a new kind of resort experience - one that's driven by place, purpose, and the idea that travel should spark something special. We can't wait to see where it takes us next."

10 lofty treehouse resorts that give 'canopy bed' a whole new meaning
Elevate your stay for an unforgettable getaway Soak up the sounds of the river below at Treehouse Point in Washington — Photo courtesy of Claymore MacTarghan Advertisement Treehouses are getting a glow-up. From Texas to Thailand, you'll find treehouse resorts where you can unwind in nature's gentle embrace. These treehouse stays are a far cry from the patched-together clubhouses you remember from childhood; we're talking hot tubs, plush bedding, and Nespresso machines. To elevate your next getaway, here are 10 of our favorites. Treehouse Point, Issaquah, Washington If you've watched "Treehouse Masters" on Animal Planet, you know that Pete Nelson's native Pacific Northwest, with its towering conifers, is an ideal spot for a sky-high stay. Nelson's Treehouse Point is about 25 miles east of Seattle, Washington, along the Raging River. Choose from seven individually designed treehouses, from the bird-themed Nest to the Burl, built into a 200-foot-tall fir tree. Each of the adults-only hideaways (no guests younger than 16 years old) comes with music players, queen or king beds, Nespresso machines, and tea kettles. Come down from your perch to hike, bike, and raft in the area, then cozy up around the fireplace in the main lodge. Free Spirit Spheres, Vancouver Island, British Columbia Luna is cozy all year-round, with electric heat and two windows that open for a breeze — Photo courtesy of Wayne Buhr If you were hiking through Vancouver Island's lush rainforest and looked up at the right moment, you'd find three handcrafted spheres hanging as if by magic from the branches. Inspired by creativity and crafted to be at one with nature, Free Spirit Spheres' most recent addition is Luna, complete with a lounge-style seating area, a dining table, a double bed that lowers from the ceiling at bedtime, two opening windows, and electric heat. Take a spherical siesta, ever so gently swaying in the breeze, while firmly tethered to the surrounding giant trees. Chateaux dans les Arbres, Dordogne, France Designed to echo the architecture of a traditional French château, Chateaux dans les Arbres offers "castles in the trees." Live out your royal fantasies in miniature, watching as breakfast is lifted into the canopy via pulley while, dare we say, you soak in your hot tub, bubbling with joie de vivre? Families are welcome; the Milandes treehouse has a children's room with bunks, and you'll have access to the swimming pool in the summer months. Treehotel, Harads, Sweden Amenities vary in the unique 'treerooms,' from eco-showers to saunas and secret balconies — Photo courtesy of Treehotel It's all about embracing the Swedish Lapland's old-growth forests at Treehotel. Feel nature's gentle hug in your architecturally stunning "treeroom," set 13 to 20 feet off the ground. The massive Bird's Nest looks like the true home of an albatross, the Mirror Cube quite literally disappears into the hall of trees surrounding it (just wait until it reflects the northern lights!), and the LEGO-like Biosphere invites you to become one with the birds. Winvian, Morris, Connecticut For those who relish the finer things in life, how about a two-story treehouse with every creature comfort? Among Winvian's 13 unique cottages situated on 113 acres, you'll find an unforgettable treehouse escape with two gas fireplaces, a king-sized bed, a steam shower, a soaking tub, and a full bar. You might have a hard time remembering you're in a treehouse! Sleep on the first floor, lounge on the second floor. Plus, you're privy to all the perks of the resort, including a spa and seasonal outdoor pool. Tsala Treetop, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa Little tykes in Tsala Treehouse Lodge get special turn-downs and bedtime stories — Photo courtesy of Hunter Hotels Glimpse African birds and playful monkeys from your perch at Tsala Treetop Lodge in the heart of South Africa's Garden Route. Each private, elevated hideaway perfectly melds romance and adventure in an age-old indigenous forest. Each of the sophisticated, two-bedroom villas has a large lounge with a fireplace and dining area, a forest-facing private deck, and an infinity swimming pool. Constructed of stone, wood, and glass and peek-a-booing out of the forest canopy, the treehouse suites are complemented by exceptional service, making this entire upscale experience worthy of a bucket-list trip. The Hideout, Koh Yao Noi, Thailand Enjoy a sustainable stay in The Hideout's eco-friendly treehouse suites, built predominantly from local materials. Slip into your complimentary sarong and settle into 700 square feet of paradise, complete with a king-size bed and open-air bathroom. The goal is to be fully immersed in the Thai jungle here, so don't count on electricity, television, or Wi-Fi. Come down from your plush perch in the evening for farm-to-table Thai cuisine by candlelight. Treehouse Utopia, Utopia, Texas Make advance reservations for owner and chef Laurel Waters' seasonally inspired Saturday lunches and dinners — Photo courtesy of Treehouse Utopia Nothing says secret more than a treehouse property that doesn't even publish its address publicly. (It's about 80 miles west of San Antonio.) Treehouse Utopia is intentionally discreet, ensuring the most quiet and private stay as possible. Each treehouse features a sitting room, bedroom, full bathroom, and deck. The decor is influenced by the owner's time spent training as a chef in Paris, so you'll find French-inspired touches everywhere. From the Chapelle, which brings to mind a French countryside chapel, to the Bibliotheque, with its bookshelves, fireplace, and comfy seating, each "pied-à-tree" is an amazingly restful, fully immersive stay. TreeCasa Hotel and Resort, San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua Get a bird's-eye view of your jungle surroundings at TreeCasa Hotel and Resort on Nicaragua's Emerald Coast. The two-story Casa Arbol treehouse has room for up to four guests as well as a kitchenette, living area, wraparound deck, and not one, but two outdoor showers, where you can bathe surrounded by pink ceiba blossoms. Sleep soundly in air-conditioned comfort, stay connected with Wi-Fi, and take full advantage of the amenities at ground level, from yoga classes to a pool with a waterslide. Hapuka Lodge and Treehouses, Kaikoura, New Zealand You'll only want to leave these gorgeous treehouses for the included full breakfasts and three-course dinners — Photo courtesy of Benedichte Lassalle Wake up in your bedroom in the sky to impressive views of Kaikoura's dramatic mountains and the Pacific Ocean at the luxurious Hapuka Lodge and Treehouses. Each of the countryside lodge's five houses is uniquely designed, with three one-bedroom accommodations and two family houses. These more spacious houses have a primary bedroom in the upper branches, and a smaller kids' bedroom in the lower branches. Warm and inviting, each has a deep soaking tub, fireplace, and custom-made furniture.
