Crystal Treehouse: A Rustic Loft Perched Above an Icy Colorado River

We typically think of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/treehouses/">treehouses </a>as tree-friendly structures, so the fact that many of them are constructed out of wood that was obtained by bulldozing entire forests doesn't make much sense. That's why we're especially fond of the Crystal Treehouse, which artist <a href="http://www.davidrasmussendesign.com/">David Rasmussen</a> built using blown-down logs and local materials. Located in Carbondale, Colorado, the rustic perch has a snuggly loft with a big picture window that overlooks the icy waters of the Crystal River below.
