- 0:00Katie arrives at the secluded BJORK treehouse on a rainy day.
- 3:02A red squirrel approaches the table and eats seeds from her hand.
- 4:24She boards the canoe for a solo paddle through wind and reeds.
- 8:58The indoor tour reveals a kitchen, sofa area and loft bedroom.
- 14:23Katie lights the wood-burning stove to warm the cabin.
- 16:56Dinner preparations begin with fish cakes, bread, pâté, tzatziki and prawns.
What does Katie Roams do before settling into her treehouse? Feed a red squirrel, then discover that canoeing may not be her natural calling.
The squirrel takes seeds straight from her hand in "I Stayed in an Off Grid Treehouse!", prompting Katie to call it "My real life Snow White moment." Down at the lake, the assessment is rather different: "I don't think I'm a canoer." Wind and reeds complicate her paddle before she makes it back to shore.
That rainy woodland stay was the most watched of her two uploads this week, reaching roughly 243,000 views. The video includes an Anker-sponsored segment. Beyond the outdoor excursions, Katie tours the loft bedroom, lights the wood-burning stove and prepares fish cakes for a candlelit dinner for one. Viewers are talking about the squirrel encounter and offering canoeing pointers, particularly taking a spare paddle aboard.
Sunday's "I Stayed at an Off Grid Cabin" continues the lakeside escape, this time with no WiFi, electricity or running water. It is drawing the strongest daily audience among her videos, though October's "I Camped in a SEE-THROUGH Tent From TEMU… BIG Mistake!" remains close behind. That rain-disrupted outing, abandoned before the night was over, has now passed a million views.
Katie's daily views are close to their usual level, while her subscriber audience grew over the week. She also drew the largest weekly audience among the nearby travel channels, with World Wanderings: 4K Walking Tours and Jan and Ann having substantial weeks of their own. For Katie, the latest pair of stays offers a change from testing how much weather a tent can take: a roof, a stove and somewhere to dry the wet outer layers.

The squirrels there are absolutely adorable
@wendylee8093See it on YouTubeTip for future new canoers… even if there is just one of you, put both paddles in the canoe. Stuff happens and paddles can get dropped in the water and float away from the canoe. The second paddle is a backup.
@mhicaoidh1See it on YouTubeKatie, next time hang one of the life vests on a tree branch near where you have to dock so you know where to go. ❤
@Mar-velousMarlenak8See it on YouTubeThat is DEFINITELY my idea of relaxing in nature 👍
