Built around 16 mature lime trees, Alnwick Treehouse is a 6,000 sq ft complex of turreted cottages linked by suspended walkways, high in the trees outside the walls of the main garden. It’s a place for children and adults to learn, play and relax. And although it’s 60 feet high, there’s access via a ramp so The Treehouse, its rope bridges and walkways in the sky are accessible to everyone.
The Treehouse was built using natural materials from sustainable resources including Canadian Cedar, Scandinavian Redwood and English and Scotch pine, and the quirky design is so at home in its environment that it looks as if The Treehouse has grown out of the ground.
New Years Eve at "Out N' About Treesort" in Cave Junction, Oregon. It was quite the magical snowy wonderland atop the connecting tree top cabins.
The silence.
The darkness.
The wind.
The comfort.
The loneliness.

Swiss Family Treehouse in the Magic Kingdom. The walk-through attraction is centered around a giant treehouse where everyone can hear and see various scenes based on the Disney film Swiss Family Robinson. The tree, while intended to look real, is actually made up of steel, concrete, and stucco, stretching 60 feet (18 m) tall and 90 feet (27 m) wide. Yet, it looks exactly like the one in the movie.
Nick Weston left London life to live in a treehouse for 6 months. He hunts, fishes, forages and eats very well! He built the house himself, and is currently building a coracle to paddle down his river to the sea... Learn more at www.huntergathercook.typepad.com
Steampunk Treehouse
by Sean Orlando
Imagine a world in which there aren't natural trees anymore…maybe there are a few left in special National Maximum Security Parks. Maybe the memory of a tree is so far gone from living memories that people try to recreate what they imagine they've lost using another sort of Romantic imagery, one of machinery, scavenged gears, gathered belts, haunted steam pipes, gleaned gauges, rusty metal and gobs and gobs of steam. In short, though our natural world may change, the human drive to connect with it and one another remains; it is second nature. Enter the Steampunk Tree House!
Best treehouse ever. Like your erector set meets Mad Max. I didn't climb up in it cuz the line was a bit long, but the friend I was with did.
This came with our house when we bought it. We call it a treehouse, but it's really just a fort. There is a ladder that goes to the roof though and gives it a treehouse vibe. We have a 2 year old goddaughter and she really enjoys it!
My available bricks were getting increasingly bizarre - largely just the medieval village plus a pot half full of wood bricks. But I had the urge to build something really cool, and not a car.
So I did.
“A 2008 exhibition of highly crafted treehouses from two of the best treehouse makers in the country was so successful that plans to close and dismantle it were abandoned. Three grand treehouses were built at a cost of about $1 million, plus the cost of their special underpinning. Longwood insisted that the structures not be fastened to the trees. They have been built instead on elevated steel supports that include poles resting on small concrete blocks. This so-called pin foundation is positioned to avoid roots and minimize soil compaction.”
This, the grandest of the three, the Canopy Cathedral, was inspired by an old Norwegian wood-frame church, and is nestled on the edge of a woodland overlooking the Large Lake. “The two-story structure is defined by a glazed gable with diamond-patterned windows and is wrapped by a large balcony with indentations for the 100-year-old tulip poplars.”
