It started with a treehouse for two.
Seth built a treehouse with his dad on the family farm. It became part of Seth and Tori's own story, then a place they could share with guests looking for more time together.
A Musician, a Farm, and a Treehouse
In 2015, Seth Bolt was touring the world with his band, NEEDTOBREATHE. Cities every night. Stages, studios, the pace of a life built on music. But he kept getting pulled back to the farmland of Walhalla, South Carolina, where he'd grown up working the land with his father.
He wanted stillness. So he started building. Seth and his dad began constructing a treehouse on the family farm, a place to rest between tours. Then he met Tori, and the treehouse took on a new purpose: it was being built for their wedding day.
“We decided to open it to the public, hoping that other busy people would welcome the invitation to turn off their phones, clear their schedule, and unlock the magic of distraction-free quality time.”
Tori Bolt
The Honeymoon That Started Everything
Seth and Tori honeymooned in the very treehouse he'd built with his own hands. No notifications. No distractions. Just nature, stillness, and each other. They journaled, dreamed, prayed, and talked about what their lives would look like. Everything kept pointing back to one thing: more of this.
What Seth and Tori loved about that time became the idea behind BOLT FARM: make a place where other people could slow down and enjoy being together, too.

A new place for the same idea.
Word spread fast. Within months, the treehouse was the #1 Airbnb in South Carolina with a six-month waitlist. So they went bigger: a 35-acre island property near Charleston, four more treehouses. They sold their house, lived in a camper on the land, and put everything into the dream.
Then the island passed short-term rental regulations. Overnight, everything was shut down. After a year of fighting for the business in Charleston, Seth and Tori sold and started over somewhere their vision would be welcomed.
From a first treehouse to a Tennessee mountaintop.
What started as 18 acres is now an award-winning 55-acre retreat with over a mile of bluff frontage overlooking the Sequatchie Valley.
Treehouses, Domes, Mirrored Cabins
Luxury treehouses, geodesic domes, mirrored cabins, and architectural spaces that don't look like anywhere you've stayed before. Every one built around the same idea: make it easy to slow down.
Spa & Wellness Haven
A spa overlooking the Sequatchie Valley with views into three states. A place to do nothing together, on purpose.
Intentional Experiences
Meals for two, outdoor adventures, and experiences built around doing something together that isn't staring at your phones.
See the villas and choose a few days on the mountain.
A place we'd be glad to share with you.
From the first treehouse to this mountain, the idea has stayed simple: a beautiful place, thoughtful details and more time for the people you came with.
“We built Bolt Farm because we know what happens when two people step away from the noise and actually choose each other. It changed our marriage. It changed how we live. Thousands of couples later, we keep hearing the same thing back.”
