Willie "Buddy" Melvin's treehouse began modestly in 1997, a small bar encircling a water oak on family land. Over the next two decades, using recycled lumber from old houses and barns, it evolved into a sprawling 13,000 sq. ft. structure with 16 rooms. Complete with bars, bedrooms, a pool room and a dance floor, the treehouse is a beloved gathering spot for dance parties, motorcycle groups gatherings, and more.
