When we were little, the kids in my neighborhood built a treehouse every single summer.
In those innocent days, no adult really minded if a bunch of kids commandeered one of his great big trees and started more or less randomly nailing big boards to it. When John Ryan fell out of our treehouse and broke his arm, the person who owned the tree never heard the news.
Nobody gets hurt falling from Second Life treehouses, like this one, which is from Julia Hathor's garden store.
This photo maybe shows better than any other the efforts that we have gone to to preserve every possible part of the tree, and to build the treehouse structure around the tree, rather than use it purely as a piece of scaffolding.
first, some detail might be in helpful. the 11’x5’ treehouse movie theater screen hangs off the 2nd floor of the house and is attached at the top to the house soffit. there’s a 10 pound piece of metal conduit in a hem on the bottom of the screen to keep it even and flat. support ropes are linked to clamps that are attached to the bar to keep the bar from banging against the house when it gets windy.
recently, we had a couple days and nights with crazy winds and on one of those nights we could hear the treehouse movie theater screen banging against the side of the house. great. the winds were so strong they snapped the support lines on the bottom of the screen. but there was nothing to be done in the dark during 40mph gusts so we settled in for a night of listening to the banging.
but then it stopped. “huh.” i thought. “i guess the screen must have ripped apart and fallen down entirely."
not exactly. somehow a gust of wind got in the foot of so space between the screen and house and whipped it onto the roof and over the drain waste vent?! you can sort of see the metal conduit that runs along the bottom of the screen in this photo and how it had to make it up and over the vent.
it might be hard to visualize but if hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, i wouldn’t have thought it was possible.
i have to admit, lacking a 30 foot ladder, it took some time to figure out how to get myself perched on what is probably the most inaccessible section of our roof to try to get the bar back over the vent. i'm looking down on the treehouse movie theater deck which itself is 15 feet off the ground.
This was where i stayed in Saklikent Gorge.. so nice to see it without the bus loads of tourists from package deal hotels
Here's the 'waterfall' by the children's treehouse. I think the water is flowing out of a tunnel from part of a disused railine. If I was still a kid I'd be playing there all the time!
Have you ever been to a place that is so magical it feels like another world entirely?
TreeHouse Point is that place for me.
As a child I could scale any tree and would beg for a treehouse but my dad never relented. So when I saw this place it was a childhood dream realized. These are artistic, individual, fantastic little living spaces. You can spend the night in most of them! The photos of this place I've posted here hardly scratch the surface. I encourage you to at the very least take a tour of this stunning, magical property full of unique treehouses. There are many woodland paths, little rustic bridges, the most beautiful bubbling river full of smooth rocks, a gorgeous main lodge--the entire place feels like a fairyland or something out of Lord of the Rings or some such fantasy book or movie.
The experience is hardly one I can properly sum up. You must experience it for yourself.

A pine and ceder house deep in the forest along the snow line of the Cascade Mountains.
"Designed by Yestermorrow founder, John Connell, in conjunction with Forever Young Treehouses, this universally accessible treehouse is one of the first of its kind. It was designed to have minimal straight edges so that it would blend into its surroundings. The treehouse was built by students, staff, interns
and volunteers from 2000-2006. Inside the treehouse is a handmade hammock and furniture made in the Youth Design/Build class."
The house is coming along nicely. I now have either paper clay or celluclay on all surfaces, plus paint and stain on some of the sculpture. All of the windows are installed and a little crookedy - love that! The gardens are starting to form with moss, rocks, semi-precious stones, dirt and handmade clay flowers. And, the tree is fleshing out too with pearls, sterling silver beads, rubies and topaz beads.
