The Giant Stump quest can only be triggered after the Windstorm event. You will hear a sound of a giant tree collapsing on a random stormy night. After the event, visit Marnie’s Ranch the next morning to find the Giant Tree Stump.

Interact with the tree and you will be prompted whether you want to fix it. Fixing the it requires 100 pieces of Hardwood, so it will take a bit of the work if you’re in early game. Once you’ve collected the required amount, interact again with the tree to construct a treehouse in the tree stump.
