Boondox is an unseen town located north of the player's town in Wild World. It is generally described as a very poor, uncivilized town. The player can donate Bells to Boondox by speaking to Pelly or Phyllis at the Town Hall. At certain donation landmarks, the Boondoxians will send the player a letter informing them how their donations are being used to help Boondox greatly. Enclosed in certain letters will be a feather. Donating Bells to Boondox is the only way of obtaining the feathers, and cannot be bought from Tom Nook's catalog. In one letter, a resident of Boondox states that they are studying for the "Lake University entrance exams".
The existence of Boondox is highly debated. Cranky villagers will tell the player that they donated and after doing so, Tortimer went past them either saying "I'm having steak tonight!" or installing a plasma TV in his house, implying that Tortimer made up Boondox for his own profits.

500 Bells a day due to their low amount of Bells.

Upon the first visit to Able Sisters, all the designs that are there are from people in Treehut.

The player cannot travel to Treehut, and it is unknown if the visitors that do come to the player's town are from Treehut.
