I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adve I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adventure! @Kalahariresortswisconsindells unveiled a collection of luxury Treehouses created in partnership with Pete Nelson of @NelsonTreehouse, widely known as the host of Animal Planetโ€™s ๐‘ป๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’”๐’† ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’”. 

I attended an intimate media preview. Pete Nelson and Todd Nelson, founder of @Kalahariresorts, shared the inspiration, craftsmanship, and vision behind the Treehouses on our guided tour. The treehouses provide an elevated escape. Theyโ€™re a nature-forward expansion celebrating the beauty of the Dells and the magic of living among the trees. Also onsite is a relaxing pool and hot tub.

The evening concluded with a beautiful experience on the shores of Lake Delton. We had an amazing dinner at the brand New restaurant @Daylenessupperclub. Such cozy vibes, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. ๐™„๐™ฉโ€™๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ข๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™”๐™Š๐™๐™ ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™š๐™š๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™จ๐™š ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฎ!

I had one of the BEST spa experiences at Wind Cree I had one of the BEST spa experiences at Wind Creek Southland Spa. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

@Wcsouthlandspa is 11,000+ square feet and overlooks the Chicago skyline. The peaceful retreat is guided by a deep commitment to holistic wellness and relaxation. I started off in the heated jacuzzi whirl pool and then had a a rejuvenating facial. My skin was glowing immediately! My friend decided to do a cupping massage for the first time and she could feel the detoxification running through her body. 

Afterwards we both enjoyed the sauna and relaxed with some refreshing fruit infused water while overlooking the skyline. It was the perfect Sunday Funday. Check them out! ๐Ÿ“17300 S Halsted St, Hazel Crest, IL located inside @Wcsouthland
