BMK Escapes
It’s time to treat yourself to an exclusive getaway, disconnect from the stress of life and connect with nature, friends and family.
From spending time at the treehouse, gathered around the campfire with friend or family to wood fired pizza dinners to remember to cooking classes or jewelry making- there is something for everyone here.
The treehouse is not available for overnight stays. FAQs can be found at the bottom of the page.

All the details you need to knoW!
Bathrooms at the Treehouse?
While there aren’t any bathrooms at the treehouse, you do have access to bathrooms inside BMK. Simple go onto the back deck behind the house and into BMK. The bathroom is down the short hallway to your right.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy: Because I only offer a limited number of events, there are no cancellations within 2 weeks of the date. If rain is forecasted, the party goes on, simply wear weather appropriate clothing and allow yourself to remember just how much fun it can be to play in the rain and embrace your inner child. Also- the porch of treehouse is covered and the treehouse is so much fun to play in while listening to the rain. If the rain is going to be a nonstop downpour or storming, then we can adjust the time of the event if possible and reschedule.
Outside Food and Drink?
You are welcome to bring in any food or drink that you wish to the treehouse, just please clean up any trash afterwards. The same clean up rule goes for the treehouse and property in general. I simply ask that it is left in the same state as it was found.
Directions and Parking
4139 Crosheck Rd., Solon, IA 52333
Turn left at the big red barn, the first left on Crosheck and head down the driveway. BMK is located around back of the white house at the bottom of the drive.
If your groups is more than 3 or 4 cars- drive down to the house, circle around and park facing up the driveway, starting at the ‘Park Here’ sign. The driveway has enough room for two cars so no need to park on the grass at all.
*Please note that the play equipment in the neighbor’s yard is indeed the neighbor’s play equipment so please do not allow your kids to go into their yard.
Farm Fresh Eggs
BMK eggs are available for scale for $4/dozen. All proceeds go towards funding the free mental health workshop for teens here at BMK.
BMK Gift Shop
Inside BMK’s workshop/coffee lounge, there are a variety of products for sale from local artisans, including the earrings you see me wear in all of my posts from Charli Dean Designs. New to the gift shop are items for pregnant and new mothers from All Bodies All Births Doula Services. Feel free to check out the items or contact me for custom orders of jewelry, sweets, soaps, bath products and more!
Can I combine a treehouse package with an indoor package?
Yes! One of the most popular options is to bake something that either only takes an hour or requires a rise time (such as for focaccia bread), which allows for time to be split between the treehouse and inside. This also works for a jewelry making class.
