The interior of the Observatory has just what you need, but nothing more. There is a gas stove, a water jug with sink and a composting toilet.

And you can't beat the sleeping arrangements. The "master bedroom" has a glass ceiling, perfect for star-gazing and there is also enough space for two more guests, for a total of four.

You'll likely spend most of your time on the exterior of the treehouse, given the canopy view and unique outdoor spaces.
