"In the UK there are apparently so many treehouse hotels that The Times Travel section issued a list of the 12 latest and greatest. At the top? The Quist, a Covid pipe dream project of a young couple: Harriet Churchward and Matt Pescod live with Minnie, their three-year-old, in Herefordshire on the grounds of Brinsop Court, the 800-acre estate complete with moated manor that Harriet's parents own and operate as a wedding venue."
"The treehouse-a house amid trees-is located on the bald spot of a very steep hill with no other dwellings in the immediate vicinity, and operates by solar power and bottled gas. Harriet and Matt put enormous consideration into every detail. Says Harriet, "we wanted it to feel like a home belonging to someone who lives off the land: nothing too fancy or at all suburban but full of personality: someone really cares about this place.""
"At Brinsop Court, Matt hiked to the bracken-filled meadow atop Merry Hill, the highest point on the property, and suggested it as a prime spot to built a hideaway to run as a retreat. A very arduous year later, they unveiled their high-style aerie: a hand-built, two-bedroom cabin that rests on stilts amid old-growth forest. London designer Matilda Goad recently checked in with her family and pronounced The Quist "The King of Treehouses." Come see."
A couple converted a bracken-filled meadow on their family estate into The Quist, a hand-built, two-bedroom treehouse retreat perched on stilts among old-growth forest. The project grew from the partners' complementary skills: Matt's fine woodworking and carpentry training and Harriet's design sensibility. The Quist runs on solar power and bottled gas and was created using available materials with close attention to detail. The structure aims to feel like a lived-in home connected to the land rather than a suburban getaway. The location overlooks Merry Hill on the 800-acre Brinsop Court estate, which operates as a wedding venue.
