How to hit 84% occupancy in your first Peak Season

Let’s talk about what happens when you drop a unique, aerospace-inspired, off-grid escape pod (aka a Tree Tents Fuselage) into the wilds of Scotland… 

Spoiler: it becomes one of the most talked-about stays in the Highlands!

We spoke to Willy, host of Highland Hangout, in Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland. Willy has two Tree Tents structures that are brand new for the 2025 season - our eye-catching Fuselage cabin and our iconic suspended Tree Tent. For summer 2025 Willy’s focus has been getting it right with the Fuselage, to then focus on advertising even more unique stays in the Tree Tent in the woodland. We were blown away with the response that Willy has experienced with the Fuselage alone, just a few months into hosting! 

Booking Breakdown

Here’s how Highland Hangout’s first season is playing out for the Fuselage alone. With a whole season ahead to still get even more bookings in the off-season…

Money Talk

At a nightly rate of £290, Willy is tapping into a premium price point in the industry - because this isn’t your basic bell tent. It’s premium, and guests happily paid for the experience.

From one single unit. Yes. Really. 

What Guests Are Saying

Don’t just take our word for it - here’s what real guests had to say:

The Fuselage is a stunning, one-of-a-kind, and glamorous way to stay in some of the most remote parts of Britain. Loved having the wood stove heater inside to keep us cosy, eating meals outside with the panorama.
– Andre, USA

The modern concept of sustainability and closeness to nature is super interesting and fun.
- Benjamin, UK

It's super quiet, and relaxing and the Fuselage is warm and comfortable. William is a warm host, with plenty of care about your stay.
– Anthony, UK

It’s not just a place to stay. It’s a stay guests remember forever.
