Entering Cedar Hollow Treehouse is like stepping into a fairytale. Inspired by the enchanting world of C.S. Lewis’ ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, this whimsical holiday rental is a must-visit destination for fairy tale fans.
Nestled in a private 12-acre estate adjacent to C.S. Lewis’ former home and gardens in the UK, Cedar Hollow Treehouse offers a unique getaway. Located just 15 minutes by bike from Oxford’s historic city centre and a 90-minute drive from London, this retreat invites guests to explore the very woods that inspired C.S. Lewis’ famous tales.
The property’s design features nods to Narnia, including a “magic” wardrobe leading to the surrounding forest and carvings inspired by Lewis’ stories. According to Good News Network, Dr. Yaz Romahi, an engineer and member of The Magic Circle, built the treehouse initially to host children with serious illnesses through the Congenital Anaemia Network. Now, the retreat is also available as a short-term rental, welcoming guests seeking a one-of-a-kind experience.
According to Secret London, it’s the perfect mix of nature, fun, and relaxation, offering everything from deer sightings to outdoor film nights.
A modern kitchen, cosy bathroom, and charming bedroom nooks
Unique features like a swinging rope bridge, zipline, and a slide into the woodlands
Relaxation facilities, including a hot tub, sauna, tennis court, and swimming pool
Outdoor pavilions, firepits, and alfresco dining areas with breathtaking forest views.
For an added touch of magic, there’s an escape room, plus an AI-powered talking mirror!
The treehouse accommodates up to four adults and two children, making it ideal for family adventures or romantic getaways.

Guest reviews on Airbnb are glowing. Siân, a recent visitor, described the property as “absolutely magical,” adding, “Deer pranced the gardens… the zipline and slide were loved by my children.” Another guest, Nicola, called the stay “fun for all ages, private with never a dull moment!”
Imagine taking your family here for a magical Christmas getaway. However, you’ll need to plan in advance as it’s currently fully booked for the next two Christmases.
