Found this on prnewswire:

Treehouse-Villas.jpg



"All 60 three-bedroom homes, elevated 10 feet off the ground on pedestals and beams designed to blend into the forest environment, will sleep nine and are planned to offer modern luxuries such as cathedral ceilings, granite countertops and flat-screen TVs, all presented in a style dubbed "cabin casual."

From the fact sheet:

"Treehouse Living With All the Comforts of Home

Designed in a style decreed “cabin casual,” the Treehouse Villas will offer much more than the rope ladder and snack stash typically found in childhood treehouses. Elevated 10 feet off the ground, these villas will offer three bedrooms and two baths while comfortably accommodating up to nine Guests. An open kitchen will boast an island sink and a counter area offering seating for three, while a separate dining table will seat up to six. In addition, flat-screen TVs will be found in the living room and each bedroom, giving Guests an opportunity to catch up on the day’s latest news stories or favorite TV shows while relaxing after a fun-filled day at Disney’s theme parks. Throw in cathedral ceilings and granite countertops for a treehouse that surpasses every childhood expectation.


Resort Amenities
The Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa will feature its own planned pool area, in addition to sharing all that the main resort has to offer, including boat transportation between the Downtown Disney Area and the Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort dock, tennis courts, bicycle rental, a children’s playground, a nearby spa and fitness center and High Rock Spring Pool, which boasts its own water slide and whirlpool spa."


They also have a video of Jim Lewis making the announcement:

Wow! Thanks!
2 questions- as a SSR owner; does this become part of our ownership?
Curious also if any plans seen for handicap accessible (those steps!)?

DVC is having a busy day, isn't it!:goodvibes
 
Too bad they wouldn't put a zip line above the pool! Now that would give a childhood feel to treehouses! Just an idea:cool1:

I was wondering the same thing about sales. Will they be part of SSR or will they be sold separately? If they're sold separately, only 60 units would probably sell out real fast. Also, is this the first DVC resort without a King-sized bed in the master bedroom or do Grand Villas have a queen in the master? If this is the first, I wonder why they did this.
 
I wonder if they are actually required to do anything about handicapped access? If they are part of SSR, there are HA rooms available. I think ADA requires some HA rooms be available, not sure they require that HA be available for ALL rooms. Not sure, just thinking out loud.

This quote is from the link posted above:
the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, scheduled to open in summer 2009, will become the next room category offered at that resort.

It says at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and next room category at that resort Those 2 things sounds to me like it's gonna be part of our ownership :banana:
 
I too agree that we SSR owners now have treehouses to play in!! I just called MS and they are not yet available to book for the summer!

I'm going to call back every single day until I hear "OK, we can now book them!!!" I'm more excited about staying here than BLT!!!
 
I am very happy about this.

As a current owner of over 400 SSR points, and frequent traveler in parties of over 5, this is perfect for me.

When will these units be finished/open for booking?
 
agreed, so much more excited about this than BLT.

I'm assuming given that they are in between the capacity of the 2BR and a GV that the point requirements will be in between, but who knows. Has anyone heard any info on point requirements?

On another thread the same points as a 2 BR was mentioned.

I've read equivalent to 2 bedroom pts at SSR! That would be awesome!

As someone with a major ownership interest in SSR, this is a great option! And the 60 units is very doable availability wise. 6 times as many units as AKV concierge and less than 3 times the membership of AKV!:wizard: I think our odds will be very good in securing these units and we mostly drive, so I like the pic of the minivan out front!
 
One of the pluses to this NEW DVC Resort..if you will...Us SSR owners, don't have to buy more points!!!
What a perk...nothing OOP for us!! LOL

Under your avatar...You Got more DVC today:goodvibes
 
This is much more exciting to me than BLT. If the points are the same as a
2BR - what a deal! :cool1:
 
I think I'm more impressed with the treehouse villas than BLT. They look great!
 
I am so glad I am an SSR owner! This will be a fun option down the road for a family gathering.
