My birthmother’s family holds family reunions in Colorado every few years, usually in Pagosa Springs. Most of our family reunions were held at the Treehouse, a location available to rent. I love the style of the building. It meshes a homey log-cabin theme with the atmosphere of a childhood treehouse. It had enough sleeping areas for my whole family, the kitchen was large enough to cook for everyone, and most of the family could spend their time in the living room without it feeling crowded. While I didn’t put much thought into it at the time, the architecture enhances the atmosphere of comfort and wonder through the wood theme, the massive porch, and a perfect mix of private rooms and open space. I chose the Treehouse partially because I loved the atmosphere, but partially because my Great Grandmother hosted and paid for the family reunion. She died several days ago, and good memories I’ve had with her have been on my mind. The family reunions, and by extension the Treehouse, were meaningful to me, and I hope we can continue the tradition that she started.
