How One Squirrel Led to a Backyard Paradise

When a Texas woman accidentally left a rechargeable fan running on her back porch, she had no idea it would lead to creating a neighborhood hotspot. The fan caught the attention of a local squirrel trying to beat the intense Texas heat. Bree spotted the little guy sprawled comfortably in front of the fan, cooling off on a hot day.

From One Fan to Full Resort

The sight of this clever squirrel made Bree think about all the other squirrels in the area without their own cooling systems. Though she had never considered herself a squirrel enthusiast before, that moment changed everything. She felt compelled to help these small creatures survive the brutal Texas summer.

Bree decided to create something special - a backyard squirrel resort that is now successfully operating for its second year in a row.

Building a Squirrel Paradise

The resort started simply. Bree added more fans so multiple squirrel neighbors could cool down at the same time. But she quickly realized that just creating cooling stations wasn't enough for a true resort experience.

To upgrade the amenities, she added:

• Plenty of water stations
• Various snack options
• A specially designed courtyard that created a lounge-like atmosphere

Five-Acorn Reviews

Word spread quickly through the squirrel community. More and more furry visitors started showing up to check out the cool new spot in town. The resort became so popular that it would probably earn a perfect five-acorn rating on squirrel Yelp, if such a thing existed!

Resort Expansion

Seeing the success of their ground-level resort, Bree and her husband decided it was time to expand upward. They built an entire squirrel walkway between the backyard trees. This elevated addition gives their squirrel patrons even more convenience and extra space to hang out away from the ground.

What started as a single squirrel cooling off in front of a forgotten fan has transformed into a multi-level resort catering to the entire neighborhood squirrel population. Sometimes the smallest moments of compassion can grow into something truly special.
