Skapya Treehouse

Meaning ‘escape’ in Cornish, Skapya invites you to do just that on the doorstep of one of Cornwall’s most magical woodlands. Nestled in the ancient canopy surrounding the Helford River, this captivating treehouse sits 4 metres above the ground and boasts sprawling views across the valley and rolling countryside. Soak up your dappled setting from your private balcony as the swaying branches of mature oak, beech, and ash trees lull you into a blissful reverie or step into the fire-warmed depths of your hot tub and let the melodic sounds of nature wrap around you. With the tranquil banks of the Helford River on your doorstep, alongside cosy pubs and cafés, the idyllic landscapes of South Cornwall have everything you need for a rejuvenating escape.

The handcrafted curve of Skapya instantly draws the eye as you approach along the pretty woodchip path and through an enchanting wooden arch. Inside the cedar-clad treehouse, a Nordic-inspired interior instills calm and sets the scene for peaceful evenings curled up in the glowing light of the wood burner. A sleek Scandinavian kitchen beckons for culinary delights, with an induction hob, oven, toaster, stove-top kettle, and a dishwasher on hand. Extend the fold-out table to enjoy breakfast gazing out the window or take your coffee onto the balcony to sip in the dappled light. Beckoning for cosy evenings by the flickering wood burner, the beautiful living area boasts style and comfort at every turn, whether you want to unwind on the Graham and Green sofa with a book from the shelf or sink into the beanbag as you listen to one of the discs on the vintage, powder-blue Crosley record player. The bedroom is a dreamy cocoon, from the king size bed with sumptuous bed linen to the balcony, which calls for slow mornings as you soak up your beautiful surroundings. Get ready for the day at the lovely wooden dressing table, or pull on a complementary robe and make your way to your wood-fired hot tub for a blissful soak. Lined in gorgeous green tiles, the bathroom is an oasis of calm, with a rainfall shower and heated towel rail adding an extra touch of luxury

Making the most of the picturesque hillside setting overlooking the valley, Skapya boasts a serene outside space. Encased by trees, sink into the soul-soothing depths of the wood-fired hot tub as your leafy sanctuary serenades you with birdsong on the oak-scented air. As dusk falls, gather around the flickering fire pit as stars blanket the sky above the gently rustling canopy.

Nestled in the Lizard Peninsula National Landscape, with the ancient charms of the Helford River on your doorstep, Skapya promises dappled adventures at every turn.
