glass dome imported from Turkey,<br />

Banked along Lake Guntersville,<br />

<strong>Alabama</strong>’s largest lake, ReTreet opened<br />

its doors and tent flaps in September 2022<br />

with six treehouses and a common space.<br />

Since then, the destination has expanded<br />

to include Glamping tents, tiny cottages,<br />

a Tree Spa and more. ReTreet is a 40-acre<br />

sanctuary that harmoniously blends luxury<br />

with the natural beauty of North <strong>Alabama</strong>.<br />

Owners Troy and Patti Hopkins moved<br />

to Lake Guntersville in 2020. They walked<br />

daily in the neighborhood, concluding<br />

at the end of their street. “Every time we<br />

turned around, there was this property. One<br />

day I walked it and discovered its beauty<br />

and located the owners,” says Troy. “We<br />

purchased the land in 2021, ready to build<br />

something. We thought fishing cabins, but<br />

realized the hilly land would not be feasible<br />

for this type of business.”<br />

The Hopkins’ daughters urged the couple<br />

to build treehouses as a premier <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
