The Oaktagon Tree House is what happens when you decide to live with the forest instead of just visiting it. Built around a living red oak (her name is Annie), this octagonal tree house invites you up into the canopy, where birds provide the soundtrack and the lake glimmers below. Perched on a 14-acre island just a half-mile from shore, it’s a place to slow down, look outward through leaves and branches, and remember what it feels like to be held by trees.

Kent was super nice. He’s put so much thought into the island. There’s a ton of work that goes into a place like this, and he truly has thought of so many amazing details. A really special place! There are several really unique lodging options on the island, so take a look at the various options before making your choice. One thing to note is that this one is right next to the small “events tent”. While there wasn’t an event going on and things were incredibly private for us, this may not always be the case, so I’d inquire before booking if you’re looking for a super private getaway. The different lodging options are far enough away from one another where you don't really notice other guests. A great "camping" experience for those who like a few extra comforts!
Our stay on 1BSI was nothing short of amazing! The island is such a unique and well-curated space. There are plenty of supplies, such as water, battery packs, lighters, and anything else you might need. We stayed in the Oaktagon, which had all the amenities of an indoor space with the beauty of the gorgeous oak tree. We hope to be back soon!
The absolutely perfect getaway! <br/>This place was everything and more ! Everyone was so kind and accommodating going above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. <br/>We went fishing and canoeing . Relaxing taking the best naps mid day after fishing . <br/>The kitchen was great and we enjoyed cooking over the campfire ! <br/>Definitely bring some good shoes for the short inclined walk to the dock. <br/>We slept so well falling asleep to the loons and the oaktagon stayed cool all day while the dock was still nice and warm! <br/>We loved our whole visit and will definitely come back!
We had an amazing weekend getaway here! Absolutely stunning location, such cute towns nearby, had so much fun on the island, cycling and running, and exploring the cute towns nearby.
Sunset/rise were so perfect, and we got a special appearance of a double rainbow during our stay!
Stay was amazing, Kent is a great host who really came through multiple times when we needed him. Anytime we messaged always responsive and had plan of action. 20/10 would recommend this place. Beautiful views and even better people. Can’t wait for our next visit to the island!
Our stay was exactly how we imagined and just what we needed. Quiet, private, and a beautiful weekend in the woods with everything needed to make it a perfect stay. Kent and his team were incredibly responsive with anything we needed. If you’re someone who likes camping and disconnecting from everyday life in a beautiful location, this is the place!
A magical, private place in the woods! Beautiful spot, Beautiful lake with lots of fishing! Wonderful kayaks fishing poles and canoes provided as well. The host was an absolute pleasure! Friendly, knowledgeable and always responded quickly. We will be back and we will tell all of our friends! Thank you for a wonderful peaceful stay!
This is the second year my friends and I have stayed on the 1BSI for our summer retreat. It's incredibly peaceful and one of the most unique stays we've ever seen.
Enjoyed our time in the oaktagon on the island. Staff is extremely friendly and responsive to any needs. Island is quiet and everyone we met was friendly. When I needed some pots and pans, they delivered them right off. The owner keeps in touch and there is a help button to use if you need something that is not there. My only comment would be to have someone pay a bit more attention to the bbq grill and cob webs inside the camp.
