Located 12 miles north of downtown Nashville in the small community of Ridgetop, nestled in the hills amongst the hardwoods is where you will find the Carter Brothers home and Treehouse Studios. The studio was designed and built by Tim Carter. Treehouse was built for Tim and Dan to record mainly for themselves, but eventually opened the doors to their friends so they could have an affordable and comfortable place to record. Many records have been recorded at Treehouse and there are usually projects going on all the time. Note the impressive microphone and mic pre-amp collection. We also have just recently recently added wireless internet service.
