The owner, Doug Eaves, let us camp out on the site in June of 2020 while the paperwork for the financing was going on, and we have been living here, in our camper, full-time since January of 2021. “In May of 2020, we came to Whitwell Mountain to look at it. We got online, looking for properties in areas where we thought we might want to build, and while searching for available sites, we found this Whitwell Mountain property on the bluff overlooking the Sequatchie Valley with a view all the way to the lake. “While Seth was touring with the band, they frequently traveled Interstate 24, and every time he crossed Nickajack Lake, he thought how much he would love to have a place there. “Seth and the band did some writing and recording during that time, preparing for the release of a new album,” said Tori, “but we were also thinking about another building project. However, the 2020 shutdown of live concerts due to COVID-19 restrictions found the Bolts sheltering at home and looking for other creative pursuits rather than performing on the road. They are now some of the most popular rentals on Airbnb.”īolt, a musician and founding member of the band Needtobreathe, has spent much of the past 20 years on the road, touring.

To fulfill that dream, we lived in a camper on site, like we are now, and in 2018 built four more treehouses on Wadmalaw Island, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. “On our honeymoon, we doubled down on the idea of building treehouses as a business. “Seth wanted the treehouse to be worthy of our honeymoon,” said Tori. The first tree house was completed in early 2016 in plenty of time for Seth and Tori’s May wedding. Together in 2015, they began construction on a stunning luxury treehouse that blends into the South Carolina landscape of the family farm. Bolt grew up on construction sites, learning the trade by helping his dad. To make this dream come true, Bolt enlisted the help of his father, Larry, a master builder. When Seth Bolt asked his girlfriend, now wife, Tori, to marry him, the young man who grew up in a small town in South Carolina wishing he had a treehouse, began to dream of a fairytale treehouse to share with his bride on their honeymoon. One of Marion County’s newest businesses and tourist attractions - Bolt Farm Treehouse, Tennessee - is the result of a dream honeymoon.
