Treehotel offers six private guest treehouses in winter or summertime. Each of the six rooms was built by a different guest architect, making each entirely different. With respsect to Mother Nature, each room is outfitted with radiant floor heating, a state-of-the-art eco-friendly incineration toilet, and a water-efficient hand basin.

Whether you want to dine in New Zealand, camp in British Columbia or sleep in luxury amidst the treetops in Sweden, there is a treehouse escape for you!
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 pod can 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. Inside, the vaulted ceilings are lined with giant oak leaf wallpaper, which emulates a tree canopy. Guests can relax on the rotating chairs, and take in the views of the park.

Do tree houses hurt trees? According to TreeTopBuilders, “Yes. Let’s just get that out of the way. You can’t walk within twice the radius or drip line of a tree without compressing the soil where its roots are trying to absorb nutrients from the air pockets that used to be there before you compressed it. Digging holes or using pin foundations (for posts to support the treehouse from the ground) cuts some of the small absorbing roots, even when no big roots are cut. Drilling holes into trees to install tree house fasteners hurts trees. Treehouses are not natural and I have never seen a tree house that did not at least temporarily cause the tre e some amount of stress.” http://www.treetopbuilders.net/faqs.html
