Along with their commitment to the Boreal Forest, the Treehotel is working to maintain the hotel with environmentally-friendly practices and keep the construction as green as possible. Each room features an eco-friendly incineration toilet and a water-efficient hand basin. The basin is called a a “Rukkomoinika” and is filled up with 3 liters of water each day, stopped with a plug, and used for washing hands and brushing teeth.
The hotel will be open year-round with both winter and summer activities available for guests centered around exploring the surrounding environs. The founders of the hotel sought to keep the area as pristine as possible and therefore they are not offering activities which could degrade the environment, like snowmobile tours. Charmingly, the motto of Treehotel is “feel free in a tree”.

[...] here’s something that you definitely haven’t checked out yet — this gorgeous mirror-walled treehouse hotel just opened in Sweden, and is now accepting reservations! So if you feel like the Eiffel Tower and [...]
Must be tough keeping all of those mirror walls see through clean!
It may be difficult to clean the mirrors but reflections counter the maintenance problems. This design is in the positive when weighing it\’s pros and cons. The \”cons\” that worry me is birds flying into it and breaking their necks.
How many birds does this thing kill per hour?
A better device for killing the birds of the forest has yet to be invented – good work visionaries! Does the cost of room and board include the morning feathered corpse walk to admire how this piece of industrial garbage has \”blended into the environment\”?
Birds will be killed hitting into these monstrosities.
Looks beautiful!

5 star treehouse – different class!
I htink this tree house sticks out like a sore thumb. Although I still like it. I wouldn’t personally visit this tree house myself though. But if I wanted to buy a gift for someone in a romantic setting I’d probably go for a more natural looking tree house such as this one….

it’s when there is an L shaped CLEAR glass window — one stretch of window continuing around the corne — with a continuous inside outside sill and no visible, vertical support crossing the glass — thats when birds get slammed — here, they will likely see things better and especially if the feeder or any other artifacts of birdyville birdyness are in the right place(s) — after all, when you’re seeing things and find you are, and you obviously have, maybe your heart should be in the right place
enjoy yer trip, see you next fall
