THE BALTIC

FORT TREEHOUSE CO.

an intimate retreat shaped by the forest

Tucked into the trees in Ontario’s Haliburton Highlands, The Baltic is Fort Treehouse Co.’s original forest stay—off-grid, design-forward, and immersed in nature.

Wrapped in windows and finished in natural materials like Baltic birch ply and earthen floors, this elevated, open-concept treehouse features a king bed in a lofted bedroom, a propane fireplace, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a spa-style bathroom with a rain shower and heated floors.

Outside, enjoy a private wraparound deck, an outdoor shower, a ground-level fire pit, and a wood-fired cedar hot tub set beneath the trees—your invitation to forest bathing, Fort-style.

Dog-Friendly

Welcome to The Baltic—the original Fort Treehouse, nestled in the heart of Ontario’s Haliburton Highlands. Designed as a true escape in the trees, The Baltic combines the comfort of a boutique stay with the quiet wonder of life elevated. Surrounded by forest and wrapped in windows, it offers an immersive experience in every season, with expansive views of Ontario’s iconic evergreens, mixed hardwood forest and sky from a new and transformative perspective.

Climb the steps to your private wraparound deck, then enter into a space grounded in natural materials and clean, modern design. Walls and ceilings are fully clad in Baltic birch plywood, while earthen floors, made from local sand, straw, and clay, provide a warm and tactile foundation.
