We love all our visitors!
A big advantage to being a “cohousing” community is the shared connections we have with each other at Treehouse Village — and with each other’s visitors, who come for the afternoon to hang out, or the evening to attend an event here, or to stay overnight in one of our guest rooms. We’ve welcomed at least eight visitors to Treehouse Village over the past week! They got to explore our 4000-sq.ft. Common House, our 11 acres of forested land, our climate-smart housing development (with solar panels on our rooftops!) … along with the chance to have spontaneous conversations with residents…

From Berlin to Bridgewater in less than a year
By Bastian Gruber, Treehouse Village community member It has been a big year of trade-offs and jumping in an adventure head first. Joining a co-housing community and moving to a small town were, what we thought, the biggest challenges. Shortly after we signed the TVE shareholders’ agreement, we felt the floor ripped beneath us with the announcement of the 35% price increase.

We not only had to say goodbye to friends and family, we had to break the close relationship between Cora and…
