Head up to the Pacific Northwest and buy or rent your very own hanging treehouse that looks more like a place an Ewok or Jules Verne would call home. The spacey spheres, designed by Tom Chudleigh, are handmade from fiberglass and local woods. Strung up from neighboring trees, each podcan sleep up to four, and can be hooked up to an electric line.
German Architects Baumraum are known for their extraordinary treehouses, and this one at World of Living is no different. Located in Rheinau Baden-Linx, Germany, this treehouse rests on spindly spider legs, almost 3 storeys above the ground.

Go a little rustic, and take your treehouse camping. Dutch designer Dre Wapenaar originally designed the dewdrop shaped Treetents for tree-sitting activists.
