Retreat to the magical Helford River with an enchanting stay in a beautifully handcrafted Cornish treehouse. With a name that means ‘calm’ in Cornish, Kalmynsi is a secluded haven of tranquillity that can’t help but spark the imagination, from the captivating curve of the treehouse to the idyllic setting in which it sits. A canopy of oak, beech, and ash wraps around the cedar-clad treehouse in a leaf-strewn embrace, inviting you to step away from the everyday and reconnect with nature. Stroll through the dappled wonderland that surrounds the Helford River, before sinking into the fire-warmed depths of your sunshine yellow hot tub as birds sing from the trees. Perfect for romantic escapes in this ancient corner of Cornwall, and you can bring the dog for dappled adventures across the halcyon landscapes of South Cornwall.

Overview
Step Inside
Before you even enter your Scandi-inspired hideaway, Kalmynsi crafts an air of whimsy through woodchip paths and beautiful arches woven from the branches of surrounding trees. Kick off your boots in the porch area and step through the door to find a stylish and peaceful interior you simply won’t want to leave. Wood-clad cabinets and crisp, white counters create a sleek kitchen, kitted out with an electric oven and induction hob, toaster, and dishwasher, making culinary crafts a dream. A small fold-out table beckons for leisurely mornings spent enjoying pastries while watching the gentle buzz of the natural world. The kitchen transitions into the living space with effortless ease. Pop a disc on the beautiful, yellow Crossley record player and sit back in the comfy Graham and Green armchair as the pooch dozes by the wood burner or lounge on the matching sofa in front of the smart TV. Books and games are on hand to provide endless entertainment, or you can simply sit and soak up your serene surroundings as the musical stylings of The Hollies fill the air. In the bedroom, lush linen drapes over the sumptuous king size bed, promising a deeply restful slumber to set you up for a day of exploring. As birdsong fills the air and the morning sun sparkles through the branches, step onto your private balcony for a blissful start to your day, or pull on your complimentary robe and follow the path to your dreamy wood-fired hot tub. The bedroom boasts lots of hanging space for your clothes, as well as a lovely dressing table and stool. Continuing Kalmynsi’s soothing neutral tones, the luxurious bathroom beckons for relaxing moments, with a rainfall shower and heated towel rail adding those special luxury touches.
Outdoors
Carved into the hillside, Kalmynsi’s outdoor area invites you to bask in the joys of outside living as you enjoy fireside moments and soothing soaks in the wood-fired hot tub. Step onto the paved platform to find your blissful, sunshine-yellow hot tub waiting to wrap you in a fire-warmed embrace. A lovely handcrafted seating area gathers around the chiminea, promising soul-warming evenings toasting marshmallows in the dancing flames as stars shine overhead.
Explore
With the wood-topped charms of the Helford River on your doorstep, Kalmynsi is perfectly placed for leaf-strewn adventures with the pooch. A stone’s throw from the treehouse, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary is a wonderful, dog-friendly day out and helps to support the amazing rescuing and rehabilitation of seals around Cornwall. The Helford River is a magical mix of serenity and adventure, inviting you to find your own way to enjoy the ancient woodlands that wrap around the ebbing waters. Enjoy peaceful riverside walks along Frenchman’s Creek, or take to the water in a kayak or sailing boat and discover secluded beaches perfect for a picnic full of local produce. A little further, you’ll leave the dappled trees behind as the landscape flows into the rugged cliffscapes of the Lizard Peninsula, where beautiful beaches and salt-kissed walks await. A stone’s throw from the pretty harbourside town of Falmouth, Kalmynsi promises a heavenly mix of historical sites, golden sands, and sub-tropical gardens, from Pendennis Castle to the kaleidoscopic scenes of Trebah Gardens. South Cornwall is home to an abundance of mouthwatering eateries, from Michelin star favourites in Falmouth to the many heartwarming pubs along the Helford River.
